The original PlayStation controller cable design has been incorporated into the new accessories.
Sony announced the pre-orders for the collection start on September 26 exclusively on PlayStation Direct. Some items will later be available at other retailers and the entire collection launches on November 21. The standard PS5 Pro is expected to cost around Rs 62,990 in India, while the limited-edition PS5 Pro bundle is likely to be priced higher which is potentially above Rs 80,000.
According to Hideaki Nishino, CEO of PlayStation’s platform business group, the collection aims to appeal to longtime fans nostalgic for the console’s early days. The anniversary collection joins Sony’s holiday lineup alongside the recently announced PS5 Pro aiming to drive sales and excitement around the PS5 as it enters its fourth year in the market.
