Last month, IGN Southeast Asia reported that the PlayStation 5 will be released in Singapore on November 19, 2020. The digital edition of the PS5 will be available for a recommended retail price (RRP) of SG $ 599, while the PS5 with a disc Blu-ray Ultra HD Drive will be available for an RRP of SG $ 729.
As for other Southeast Asian countries, so far there have been no hints as to when the next-gen console will launch or how much it would cost. But if you visited the official PlayStation 5 website in the past, they would have greeted you with these three simple words: “2020 Holiday Release”.
However, if you revisit the same website today, the words “2020 Holiday Releases” are conspicuously missing, raising concerns among gamers that the console will not reach the shores of Southeast Asia in time for the date. launching worldwide on November 19.
This appears to be the case for website visitors from Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. The only country that seems unaffected by this potential delay is Singapore, where Sony announced a second round of pre-orders on October 16.
We tried to contact Sony Interactive Entertainment Singapore (SIES) for clarification, but their response did not indicate when the PS5 will be available or how much it will cost in Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia.
“We understand that everyone is eager to get their hands on the PS5, and we are equally excited that it will also be coming to MY (Malaysia). SIES will make the announcement regarding MY release dates and pricing when they are ready. Stay tuned.” said a spokesperson for SIES when contacted today.
