• Marvel Spiderman Miles Morales Ultimate Edition: Rs 4,999
• Sackboy A Big Adventure: Rs 3,999

The Sony PS5 is also backwards compatible, which means that if you already have a collection of PS4 games, you need not worry, since you will be able to play them on the PS5 as well. However, you will need standard Sony PS5 to play PS4 games.

Sony has also announced that its gaming subscription service 'PlayStation Plus' users will get a new lineup of free games next month.

Sony PlayStation Delayed Launch in India

The Sony PS5 took longer than expected to be launched in India, as the company was facing trademark issues for the name ‘PS5’ in India. The recent announcement of the PS5 released date gives us the assumption that the trademark issue has been resolved.

Delhi resident, Hitesh Aswani, appears to have had filed a patent for the name ‘PS5’ on 29 October 2019, which was before the unveiling of the gaming console by Sony.

According to a report in The Mako Reactor, Sony only filed for the application on 6 February, which is where the dispute lies.
