Ps5 Sold well in India, read from pushsquare:

The PS5 was sold out on Amazon India within seconds while other retailers took just five to ten minutes to assign all their systems to customers.

Sources close to the site have stated that roughly 4,000 to 5,000 PS5 consoles were made available for the region's launch next month, but Sony has now assured those who missed out there will be another round of pre-orders. In a statement to IGN India, a Sony spokesperson said: "PS5 has met with unprecedented enthusiasm by PlayStation fans in India, resulting in a stockout during the pre-order period. Keeping the current situation in mind, we kindly urge all customers to keep their health and safety first and refrain from visiting any retail store to pre-order a PS5. Please stay in touch with retailers for the next pre-order phase."

Yes, Hitman 3 looks amazing so will be waiting for that one.
 
All I want to know is the final release date for Gran Turismo. I have never had a new console for this long without a proper racing game :(
 
Sony has removed all the third-party release dates and windows revealed on CES2021 before. So now only:

  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – 2021
  • Horizon Forbidden West – 2021
  • Returnal – March 19, 2021
 
Read from pushsquare on Ps5's shortages:

AMD, the company that produces parts for the PS5, says that console stock shortages are expected to last until at least the second half of 2021. This is according to CEO Lisa Su, who spoke during the firm's most recent financial briefing.

Basically, AMD saw a huge spike in demand for its products last year, driven by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Not only did the company introduce new chips designed for PC users, it also had to produce custom components for current-gen consoles like the PS5. And although AMD has reported record earnings, it's still having to deal with "rolling shortages".

However, Su says that additional production will kick into gear around halfway through the year, which should help AMD meet demand. When that happens, we'll hopefully start seeing more PS5 stock become available to retailers.
 
Probably not what most gamers want to hear especially if it's nearer to the end of the second half of 2021.
 
Read on 40,000 tiny PlayStation button symbols on the Ps5 controller:

Actually applying the symbols to the DualSense gamepad was the easy part — because they’re not applied at all. Each and every one of those 40,000 symbols is part of the controller’s shell, created when beads of molten ABS plastic are squeezed into tiny laser-cut crevices during the standard injection-molding process. The design is optimized to keep the symbols intact as they're popped out of the mold.
 
Ps5 is gettting a major software update on April 14:

PlayStation 5 Storage Expansion and Management

  • Store PlayStation 5 Games on Compatible External USB Drives – With this feature, you can now transfer your PlayStation 5 games to USB extended storage from your console’s internal storage. It’s a great way to extend the storage capabilities of your PlayStation 5 console, and you can seamlessly copy your PlayStation 5 games back to the console’s internal storage when you’re ready to play. It is faster to reinstall PlayStation 5 games from USB extended storage than to re-download or copy them from a disc.

  • Because PlayStation 5 games are designed to take advantage of the console’s ultra high-speed SSD, PlayStation 5 titles can’t be played from USB extended storage. PlayStation 5 titles also cannot be directly downloaded to USB extended storage. However, games that you transfer or copy back to internal storage will automatically update when applicable. In addition, you can select which game modes you want to install (such as campaign or multiplayer) for select titles that support the option.
  • For tips on using USB extended storage on PlayStation 5, including storage device requirements, please visit this link.
As previously announced, the PlayStation 5 console will support storage expansion via M.2 drives in the future. We’re currently working on this feature and will keep you posted with any updates on PlayStation Blog.

New Social Features for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 Consoles

  • Cross-Generation Share Play – PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players can now Share Play together while chatting in parties. This means PlayStation 5 console users can let their friends on PlayStation 4 consoles view their game screen, or even try out the PlayStation 5 games through Share Play, and vice versa. Options include the ability to share your screen with a friend, pass your controller virtually to a friend, or pass a second controller virtually to play co-op games together.
  • Request to Join Game Session – A selection of your friends’ joinable game sessions will now appear on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles, allowing for more gameplay opportunities together. The “Request to Join” option also serves as a shortcut to sending a game invite, reducing the time it takes for you to get into games with friends. Through the Privacy Settings menu, you can modify who can interact with you through parties, games and messages.
Enhanced Control and Personalization Options for PlayStation 5 Consoles

  • Improved Game Base – The Game Base menu has been improved for quicker access to important content and features. You can now easily switch between Parties and Friends to start chatting with your existing parties or see what each of your online friends is up to. In addition, you can turn notifications on or off for each of the parties you’re in.
  • Disable Game Chat or Adjust Players’ Volume – You can now quickly disable in-game chat, which turns off your mic audio and the voice audio of other players. Additionally, you can easily adjust the individual voice chat volume of other players in the same chat so you don’t have to ask your friends to lower or increase their mic volume each time.
  • Game Update Pre-download – Once it’s enabled by developers, title updates for games will pre-download to your console if the “automatic updates” setting is enabled and your console is on or in rest mode. This will let you start playing the latest version of a game immediately after the update’s release.
  • Customize Game Library – With the ability to search your library or hide games from view, it’s now easier to find content and personalize your view of your game library.
  • Screen Zoom – You can now adjust the magnification of the screen to suit your preference from the Settings menu.
  • New Trophy Settings and Stats Screen – The level of trophies that results in automatic capture of a screenshot or video clip can now be customized — so you can now choose to only capture and save images/videos of moments when you earn higher-grade trophies, like Gold or Platinum. We’re also introducing a new player Trophy Stats screen, where you can check out the summary of your trophy level and status at a glance.

New Features for PlayStation App


We’re also introducing a myriad of new features for PlayStation App to make it easier than ever to connect with your console experience remotely. Recently, we introduced the ability to save products in a wishlist, get notifications when your friends are online, and change your console online status. In the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out even more, including the ability to join a multiplayer session on PlayStation 5 from the app, manage your PlayStation 5 console storage, compare trophy collections with friends, and sort and filter products shown in the PlayStation Store. You can download PlayStation App for free from Google Play and the App Store.
