It’s official, the new Sony console, PS5, is getting ready to make its official debut in China during the second half of 2021!
According to what emerged from a recent tweet from well-known analyst Daniel Ahmad, the Japanese giant Sony confirmed the launch of PS5 in China in a special greeting video to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
For the uninitiated, PS4 made its debut in China only in March 2015, two years after its official release in America and Europe, so the arrival of PlayStation 5 in the Chinese market will be much faster, given that at the moment Asian gamers are importing consoles from overseas markets such as the United States and Japan.
Moreover, from what is apparent from the tweet of Daniel Ahmad, the console version available in China will be identical to that found in the West, although it probably will be set up of regional blocks for certain online services at the launch.
We report in detail the analyst’s words below:
