KOMPAS.com – Launch console PlayStation 5 is practically a matter of days.

However, Sony as the console development company stated, PlayStation 5 will not be marketed in their official store on the regional launch date, November 12 or November 19.

The PS 5 Console is available exclusively online through select retailers who are Sony partners.

Sony explained in a statement that the decision was made for the safety of employees and shop customers from exposure to Covid-19.

“Please don’t plan on camping or lining up at the local retailer on launch day hoping to get a PS 5 console.”
