PS5 pre-order issue

Sony has released the pricing for the PS5 but doesn’t have the PS5 release date yet. However, some Indian retailers are asking customers to pre-order the PS5 through them unofficially and Sony has been made aware of the situation. Retail stores have been accepting PS5 pre-order payments from customers and promising them the console on launch day. Sony has asked these retailers to issue a complete refund for the PS5 pre-order payments. Sony has also asked retailers to refrain from giving any PS5 pre-order information or PS5 release date details to the customers too.

PlayStation Plus Collection

Sony has thought about everything and kept the fans and the players at the forefront. They have made a PlayStation Bundle that will include the greatest hits from the PS4. The collection of games will not be a streaming service option, it will be available for download. These games will be available for download on the day of the launch itself.

This will provide the player with a number of games to already have in their collection while starting their journey with the next-gen console, the PS5, or the PS5 Digital edition. It is unclear if these games will be available for a set time period or they can be added to the players’ libraries and can be downloaded at any time. The PlayStation Plus collection is Sony’s retort to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass.
