PlayStation 5 launches in November, starting at $399 for PS5 Digital Edition and $499 for PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Drive

New games announced at PS5 Showcase, including Final Fantasy XVI, Hogwarts Legacy, and a new God of War title

This is truly an exciting time for all of us at PlayStation. Over the past few months, we’ve been able to show you a glimpse of the stunning new games being created for PlayStation 5, taking advantage of the console’s unique capabilities to deliver lightning-fast loading, heightened immersion, and a whole new generation of experiences. And we’re excited that the time for you to experience these brave new adventures is almost here.

As we have just announced in our PS5 Showcase, we’re only a couple of months away from launching the next generation of play. Starting on November 12, PS5 will be available in seven key markets: the U.S., Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. The global rollout will continue on November 19 with launches throughout the rest of the world*, including Europe, Middle East, South America, Asia and South Africa. PS5 Digital Edition will be available for a recommended retail price (RRP) of $399.99 USD/$499 CAD/¥39,980/€399.99/£359.99 (MSRP), and PS5 with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive will be available for an RRP of $499.99 USD/$629 CAD/¥49,980/€499.99/£449.99 (MSRP). Pre-orders will be available starting as early as tomorrow at select retailers, so please check with your local retailer.

We’re pleased to provide choice to gamers with two PS5 console options at launch, depending on if you want a digital-only experience or prefer disc-based gaming. Whichever PS5 you choose, you’ll enjoy the same breathtaking, next-gen gaming experiences. Both PS5 models use the same custom processor with integrated CPU and GPU for high-fidelity visuals, including 4K graphics and ray-tracing support, as well as the same ultra-high-speed SSD with integrated I/O for lightning-fast loading. PS5’s 3D audio and the DualSense Wireless Controller will also provide the same heightened sense of immersion on all PS5s. 

We are proud of the breadth of games being created for PS5, and it’s our goal to continue filling our portfolio with new, rich experiences from the most talented game creators in the industry. Today we shared a sneak peek at the following new games coming to PS5:

These newly revealed titles, along with the games we’ve shown previously, represent the best lineup we’ve ever seen in PlayStation history. Games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, and Demon’s Souls will launch alongside the console. Our own Worldwide Studios titles will be priced from US$49.99 to US$69.99 (RRP) on PS5. 

Additionally, we know that the PS4 community will transition to PS5 at different times, and we’re happy to announce PS4 versions of some of our exclusives. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West will also launch on PS4. While these three games were designed to take advantage of PS5 and its unique next-gen features like the ultra-high-speed SSD and DualSense controller, PS4 owners will also be able to enjoy these experiences when they launch. The PS4 digital versions of launch games include a free upgrade on both PS5 consoles, while the PS4 disc versions of these games include a free upgrade on the PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray disc drive.

For PlayStation Plus members, we’ll have a special new offering on PS5 – the PlayStation Plus Collection**. PS5 owners with PS Plus will be able to download and play a curated library of PS4 games that defined the generation, like Batman Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, God of War, Monster Hunter: World, Persona 5 and many more. The PS Plus Collection will be an added benefit to the existing PS4 benefits that PS Plus members receive for a single subscription price. 

Also launching this November is a slate of new accessories:

  • DualSense™ Wireless Controller (standalone) – US$69.99/CAD$89.99/¥6,980/€69.99 (RRP)
  • PULSE 3D™ wireless headset – with 3D audio support and dual noise-cancelling microphones US$99.99/CAD$129.99/¥9,980/€99.99 (RRP)

  • DualSense™ Charging Station – to conveniently charge two DualSense Wireless Controllers US$29.99/CAD$39.99/¥2,980/€29.99 (RRP)

This year has been unlike any other, and there have been many challenges the world has faced. Everyone at PlayStation, along with all of our partners in development, publishing, technology, and retail, have devoted a lot of effort to launch PlayStation 5 in time for the holiday season. We’re all working closely together to achieve our mission of delivering the best that gaming has to offer to our community. I truly want to thank you, the fans, for your tremendous support (and patience!), while we take this journey to PS5. We can’t wait for November to arrive – when you’ll be able to get a PS5 console in your hands to begin exploring new adventures and creating new epic memories for many years to come.

*Availability in each country subject to local import regulations. PS5 launch date for China is still under exploration and will be announced at a later date.

  • So, I followed the directions in the PlayStation Direct email at the specified time. It led to a page of PS5 accessories but no consoles. Apparently, even Sony doesn’t have the consoles they are trying to sell.

  • I just got an email from Sony today to preorder one and I got the blue ray version.

  • Yeah can yall please get it together instead waiting till the last minute give at least a day advance on when pre orders will be available geez. This is a nightmare trying to get one. Get organized please

  • Sony you are ridiculous. My town in West Virginia got a total of 17 pre orders for ps5. 9 first time and 8 today. Waited in line both times to not get one. Why not let whoever wants to preorder one do so and u fill orders. Then what’s left u have for launch. Ridiculous. Have a feeling many gonna switch to xbox.

  • Its so sad that a big company like Sony can’t make enough PS5 for its customers. So sad so sad thanks for having millions of people on line for nothing.

  • I’d order one if I could. Scalpers can take a long walk off a short plank.

  • Let’s start out with this. Those in the community can comment as well. I’ve been a playstation supporter since the first playstation, why is it that every time a new incarnation of the PlayStation comes out i have to go through hoops to get it? I know sony has a way to tell who the new core and hardcore supporters are, It should be automatic to receive an invite to the new generation. This is how you loose loyal supporters. Find a better way!!!!

  • Oh one more thing. I’ve been a PS plus member for well over a decade. With ps4 pro 400 digital games a psvr.$$$$$$ I shouldn’t have to go through this!!! Just Frustrating.

  • Good evening ,
    I have express interests in ordering a PS5 from Sony direct, I am unable to order a PS5 from local retailers due personal reason, If possible I am requesting an invitation an opportunity to purchase a PS5 system from you directly . I thank you in advance for any consideration.

    Scrufy .

    • Right what about people that feel the retailer’s go against their ethics and just want to spend with Sony like some of us do
      Digital only for years

  • To everyone who seems this, it’s nothing to bring down the Sony name. In fact I would have rathered sent it privately. But first and foremost, I love sony! Been a die hard fan since the original playstation released. I remember playing at the store because my family was far to poor to afford it, but I went to that store as often as my mother would take me just so I could at least look upon it. Sadly it wasn’t until about 1999 when I finally got one of my own used. Coming from a poor family I never got luxuries like that. So you could guess that I was overly excited ! My first game was Final fantasy 7 and with that I felt complete. Even into my early adulthood I still couldn’t get a ps2 new, all my worl money went towards taking care of my mother and younger brother, so around 2003 I got my first ps2! I was so happy, but a part of me was upset because I wasn’t financially stable enough to get a console day 1. I watched all the news reports with testimonials about people’s buying experience and how excited they were to finally get the ps2, and I felt that excitement but wish I had it day one as well, but it was ok because there are more newer consoles to come in time :) fast forward to when the ps3 released , I saved up scraps from my checks to cover it but the price was so high…I thought for sure I’d get in on it day one this time but to my dismay , I couldn’t make it happen. My son was born that year and with a newborn it was so hard for me to save even that much. But again , it’s ok . I love sony so much that I’d eventually get it used in order to play my favorite console brand :) flash forward again, ps4 was on the horizon, my son being 7 at this time and was already loving games like his dad :) I found out early on that he has autism but I didn’t let that disable my son and raised him to feel like he’s able to do anything anyone else can. But sadly he can’t , his coordination and motor skills are limited so he can’t play sports or things of that nature in a competitive manner:( so I decided since he likes watching me play my playstation so much that I’d let him play my old catalog of ps1, ps2 and ps3 games and of them all he loves the simple ones like Spiro, Jake and Daxter and especially Ratchet and Clank ( he also loved thale movie lol) so I eventually bought a ps4 new but about 3 months after release ( still in a bad money spot 😣) but I got it. There wasn’t too many games he could handle so he mostly just watched me play dark souls etc , but I promised him Sony will release another and eventually they did, a remake of the first one! Thats his favorite in the series and he cried when I first got it for him “best Christmas ever daddy” I did a good job that year 😊

    Fast forward again, things are looking better for us, we have a house, a dog financially great! So I told him, “this time we are getting a console DAY 1″ I had a huge grin on my face because the time had come, I finally get a day one console! And my sons favorite series and one of mine will be launch titles! ” this is perfect!” My son said to me now being 13. So we watched the sony press event and we were so excited nothing else in the world mattered to us in this moment. I told him that we are going to go online the minute preorders are open. He couldn’t stop jumping in excitement! :) I wait till midnight of the 17th to start my preorder, I was quick to get on I felt like I was the first in the world to be on that fast. But it was odd, everything was sold out, so I tried another site and another but no luck . I was so confused, maybe a glitch? So I looked online to see if anyone had this issue….I was blue in the face, I looked at my son and began to tear up….the preorders started a day early 😟 I felt my stomach drop , because more then myself, I just wanted to give my son what I never had , to experience this moment with me for the first time together. I had to tell him the bad news, he just stopped jumping his arms fell and he went to his room, I feel like I wrecked his world. I know now that it wasn’t all your fault, I heard rumors that stores dropped the ball on the preorders. Again to anyone who reads this, I’m not mad at Sony, they have alot on their plate and they want to give us what they always have, great entertainment! This doesn’t change anything , I’m still the biggest playstation fan hands down! I only write this to make you aware of how this effects people , to most people its just a entertainment device used to distract us from our worries etc , but to those like my son, it’s his way of expressing himself in a way he can’t do in real life :( Love you guys! Keep up the good work and keep making Greatness!!

  • Will the ps5 support 1440p output or have any downscaling feature for 1440p monitors?

  • Have been with Sony from the beginning, you have to make PLAYSTATION 5 more accessible for opening day
    I am the original gamer

  • I already gave up on Sony due to the failed pre order promise, I was ready to go they promised an announcement with plenty of time and screwed me. I bought a RTX 3080 card instead and will likely move all gaming to the pc for the next year at least maybe for good. Shameful time to have been a ps fan, they will gladly sell to scalpers to try to drive up interest and ignore actual users. Shame on you Sony.

  • can the new ps5 be bought though the playstations website

  • Jim Ryan you in competition with Xbox series x and it’s looking like there winning to be honest. all jokes aside I have an answer to you problems with the future and tech and it’s so simple but I am not going to explain unless it’s in person and you have to contact me. Nothing is for free in this world.

  • Can yall not do any better by pre orders and keeping the bots from stealing them from the people who actually want it and cant afford sky high prices like on ebay and such. I mean it was a nightmare cause how it happend walmart was let to jump the gun and started pre sale early yall failed . Now hardly any people got them cause of all the bots that came in and could hit the refresh button 10 times that of a actual phone or computer. Yall said it wasnt gonna be like this but yet here we all are without a ps5

  • No luck with a pre order..tried everything joining ques went to shops got no email of playstation. .anybody help me?

  • What is the expected release date for GT7??

  • This release of the system has by far over the past 25 years been the worst. Not just by the early releases, but the bots capitalizing on the release, and limited prerelease in store… I hope Sony will be able to meet the demand so that we don’t have tons of broken hearted kids this season. It’s been a tough year for them.

  • Will I need to buy a new TV to play the PS5?

  • Hey Jim Ryan… Whats a guy that’s been rolling with PlayStation since 1995 have to do to get a Pre~Order invite?

  • I still don’t have a pre order yet for the regular playstation 5 version so disappointing👎👎👎👎 wish I have gotten a email from Sony 😪😪😪

  • Dear Mr. Jim Ryan,
    It saddens me to say that you are least bothered about the Indian PlayStation community. No prices and pre order dates of PS5 in India till now is really a disgrace for us as well as for sony. India may not be a huge market for you but for us PlayStation will always be special. Please don’t treat as as a second world country. We are no less than anyone in US or UK. Do not keep us in the dark. It’s about time you give us the same treaty as other countries. I leave it to your fair judgement.

  • To Sony
    How are we geting preorders what bots are buying them up or gamestop employees and sell them on ebay for 4x price. I can’t even find 1

  • Excuse my ignorance, looking at this as a gift for my son. Would he be able to play with friends if they have a PS5 and he has the PS4?

  • I would like to purchase this videogame-system one day. It is my dream.

  • Please respond to the Bethesda purchase! Don’t take it lying down. Purchase Rockstar!! Get Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Give us Sony fans a reason to be proud that you didn’t just let MS take Elder Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstien, Fallout, and upcoming Starfield, and Dishonored just get ripped away from playstation players and fans without some course of action.

  • Can I get a PS5 pre order email. My PSNID is anson565.

  • U.S. service member and long time fan since 2004 with the Playstation. I would love a pre-order invite Sony!

  • When will the 3rd wave of pre orders will come out??? I’ve tried 1st and 2nd pre order wave. As everyone else! But not luck for me!

  • I Have one problem: If you take USA’s price and convert it to south african rands, U get around $600 FOR THE DIGITAL AND AROUND $750 FOR THE DISK-BASED- OUTRAGEOUS

  • Why can i buy game from any shop most time cheaper than ps online

  • Ive still got ps1 ps1 games ps2 ps3 ps4 every time start from scratch buy all again i love ps go get xbox

  • I have a real concern that when I provided email information that I was not informed when Sony launched first preorders for PS5. I don’t understand the point of giving your info when you still will not be updated. I am very disappointed in your process and customer service

  • Can someone please explain to me why the price for the PS5 in Norway is $626 and $522 for the digital edition?!

  • Sony, just let us pre-order PS5 so we can get on the distribution list. Ship it when available. No big deal.

  • when will show us the ps 5 menu

  • Does anyone know when the PS5s will actually ship? I know it’s release date is the 12th but do you guys think it’ll be the first week of November or late October?

  • I love how they underestimated the number of individuals that would want a PS5. Every time they announce a location that will have additional pre-orders available, I see people camping out the night before. The local GameStop had one individual there at 8pm the night prior waiting for the doors to open at Noon the next day. That is crazy.

    Sony,

    Any idea on when the supply will be out the demand? I’d like to have a PS5 but I’m not waiting for 14+ hours to get one.

  • Playstation IS KILLING XBOX.

    XBOX HAS NO GAMES at launch.

    XBOX HAS NO GAMES the first two years other then maybe pathetic Halo if it ever comes.

    To everyone thinking that Bethesda is your savior.. it’s not. Most of the big games will remain multiplatform. Look at Minecraft.

    Spiderman
    Demon’s Souls
    Sackboy
    Godfall
    Destruction All-Stars
    Astro

    PS5 has actual launch exclusives. Actual monster exclusives in year one. Why tf would u get an SX or weak SS day one when u have to wait 3+ years for actual exclusives?

    Series S is weaker than PS4 Pro and will play XB1 S versions of XB1 games because it’s too weak to run 1X versions. Expect a ton of 900p for XB1 games on Series S. How tf do u consider that next gen?

    1X already plays games in 4k and SX has no exclusives the first 2 years, so why buy it at launch?

    PS5 has actual next gen exclusives at launch. Demon’s Souls Remake and Godfall can’t be played on last gen systems. It also has the advantage of enhancing VR. A plethora of giant exclusives launch year one also.

    Playstation IS KILLING XBOX..

    2020 current gen exclusives
    2020 next gen exclusives
    Sales
    Innovation
    Games pipeline

    The Last of Us, Dreams, MLB, Tsushima, FFVII, Nioh 2, Persona, Iron Man, Demon’s Souls, Spiderman, Godfall, Sackboy, Destruction All-Stars. Heck of a year, huh? Playstation delivers in real time. No BS, no nonsense, just games and good times consistently.

  • Due to the mess up that pre orders was I have a disc one and a digital one and two in limbo at the moment as money has been taken by shop but not Confirmed yet via email.

  • Will I be able to switch mp3 files on the ps5?

  • It’s too bad people are buying all of them and putting them on eBay for twice the amount good luck getting one they are just like ticket scalpers
