Since launching in 2014, Sony has been promoting their subscription service PS Now. With the launch of PS5, Sony plans to let PS Now land in more countries and regions, including India. According to a report from IGN India, Sony is carefully considering expanding the PS Now service to the Indian market while also increasing the visibility of other game plans.
This includes the Play At Home initiative for PS5 and the PlayStation Plus Collection. Several anonymous sources cited by IGN stated that both will help Sony maintain its presence in the Indian market before launching its Xbox Game Pass counterpart. However, Sony still has some problems that need to be resolved.
The most important thing is the supply capacity of PS5. According to IGN India, when the PS5 was first sold in India, less than 4,000 PS5s were imported, and all of them were optical drive versions. It is reported that Sony is re-supplying, but has not officially announced the specific time for re-supply..

Another big issue is the price of PS5 exclusive games. According to anonymous sources, some PS5 games, including “Azabuzi” and “Devil’s Soul: Remake”, have sold less than “Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles.” The upcoming PS5 exclusive game “Ricky and Clank: Separation” and “Returnal” have only double-digit pre-orders. They said this is because the asking price of these PS5 games has increased to 5,000 rupees, compared to 3,999 rupees for PS4 exclusive games.
One of the sources said that these two games are not well-known IPs in India, and players can buy cheaper PS4 games instead of buying new games for PS5. The report also added that most third-party PS5 games are currently cheaper than Sony’s first-party games. Despite this, Sony is still advancing its online business in India, but the impact of services such as PlayStation Now on Sony’s Indian market remains to be seen.
