PlayStation 5 will launch on November 12 in the United States, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, and November 19 in the rest of the world including Europe, Middle East, South America, Asia, and South Africa, Sony announced.
It will cost $499.99 / €499,99 / £449.99 / ¥49,980 yen for the standard edition and $399.99 / €399,99 / £359.99 / ¥39,980 yen for the Digital Edition. Pre-orders will be available starting as early as September 17 at select retailers. The PlayStation 5 consoles’ availability and pricing announcement by Sony will undoubtedly excite fellow console gamers and Sony fans. Interestingly, the pricing for the PlayStation 5 (disc edition) is somewhat similar to the Xbox Series X, which is priced at US$499.

Among the games released exclusively for the game console is the latest installment of the role-playing game Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy XVI . Sony also announced the arrival of Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition , Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach , the Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy and a new God of War.
