Sony Slashes PS5 Slim Prices By Rs 5,000: How To Avail Limited-Time Summer Steal
PS5 Slim, which first launched in India last year, normally sells at Rs 44,990 for the Digital Edition and Rs 54,990 for the version with a disc drive.
Sony is giving gamers a hot summer treat — the PlayStation 5 Slim is now available at a Rs 5,000 discount for a limited time. In a rare move, the tech giant has announced a price cut on its PS5 Slim models, making this one of the most budget-friendly opportunities yet to jump into next-gen gaming.
The discount is part of Sony’s new ‘Summer Sale’, and applies to both the Digital Edition and the disc variant of the PS5 Slim. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re looking to grab the deal before it runs out.
Rs 5,000 Off On Both Digital And Disc Versions
Sony’s PlayStation 5 Slim, which first launched in India last year, normally sells at Rs 44,990 for the Digital Edition and Rs 54,990 for the version with a disc drive. With this new offer, the prices come down to Rs 39,990 and Rs 49,990 respectively — a significant drop, especially considering Sony’s consoles rarely see such official markdowns.
The offer is applicable to models CFI-2008A and CFI-2008B only, and will be live from April 17 to May 14. It’s available across all major platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales, Blinkit, and Sony’s own ShopAtSC and Sony Centers.
"Customers will get the opportunity to buy the PS5 Slim at a special price and make the most of the Summer Sale. This promotional offer ensures a cost-effective option for gamers looking to upgrade their console experience,” Sony said in a statement.
Stocks Won’t Last Forever
While the offer is valid until mid-May, Sony has warned that availability will depend on stock levels at various retailers. So if you’re planning to make the most of this price cut, acting early would be wise.
What’s Under The Hood Of The PS5 Slim?
Despite being more compact — about 30% slimmer and 25% lighter than the original PS5 — the Slim version doesn’t skimp on performance. It comes equipped with the powerful x86-64-AMD Ryzen Zen 2 CPU and AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based GPU, paired with 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and 1TB SSD storage.
The PS5 Slim supports 4K gaming at up to 120Hz, and even 8K resolution for compatible titles. The disc version features a detachable HD Blu-ray drive, offering flexibility for physical game collectors. Also included are features like Tempest 3D AudioTech and ray tracing, which bring immersive visuals and sound to supported games.
Notably, the console is also backwards compatible, meaning you can revisit and replay older PlayStation titles with ease.
With Sony rarely offering direct discounts on its gaming consoles, this summer deal could be the perfect chance to finally upgrade your setup — especially if you’ve been holding out for a price drop. But with limited stocks, hesitation might just cost you.
