Sony, the Japanese tech giant, has opened its first-ever PlayStation store in India, marking a major milestone for the brand in the country. Until now, customers in India had to rely on Amazon, Flipkart, Reliance Digital, and other online and offline retailers to buy PlayStation consoles. However, with the new PlayStation Exclusive Store, customers in India can now buy the brand’s consoles and accessories offline. The news was shared by industry insider Rishi Alwani.
Where is the store located?
The first PlayStation Exclusive Store is located in Punjabi Bagh, Delhi, and appears to be a partnership between Sony and DT Zone, a third-party retailer.
What products are available?
Customers can expect to find a one-stop shop for all their PlayStation needs. The store offers PS consoles, DualSense gaming controllers, headsets, and some games. According to reports, the store might also offer PlayStation memberships, but no official word has been released yet.
Benefits for customers
The opening of the PlayStation Exclusive Store means that customers no longer have to rely on third-party retailers for their PlayStation needs. Moreover, Sony recently cut the prices of the PlayStation 5 by Rs 5,000 for a limited period. Although the expiry date of the limited cost is unknown, the standard variation can be availed at Rs 49,990 while the digital version costs Rs 39,990.
Final thoughts
The opening of India’s first PlayStation store is great news for gamers in the country. It also demonstrates Sony’s commitment to the Indian market and its continued expansion in the region. With the store offering a one-stop shop for PlayStation customers, it is expected to be a hit among the gaming community in India.
