The rumor suggests that the PlayStation 5 will launch globally on November 20 and cost $499, which isn’t surprising since it falls in line with most speculation. However, this rumor also reveals that the PS5 Digital Edition could cost a mere $399. This is quite a low price, so there’s a good reason to be skeptical.

PS5 console price and release date rumor
On one hand, it’s hard to believe that Sony would price the PS5 Digital Edition at $399 because the cost of adding a disc drive to their console is not high enough to justify a $100 price gap…right? However, it’s entirely possible that Sony is aggressively pushing for their disc-less PS5 to be the more affordable option in an attempt to encourage a future without hard copy video games. While this is definitely possible, it’s still bizarre to think that Sony would be willing to take a financial loss just for the sake of pushing an all-digital future. This rumor also provides some more fascinating information, including a $39.99 price tag and November 20 release date for Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This isn’t shocking since the game has been likened to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which released at $39.99. Additionally, Insomniac Games’ Ratchet & Clank reboot on PS4 was also priced at $39.99, meaning the company is no stranger to lowering the cost of games. Additionally, the MyDrivers article suggests PlayStation 5 pre-orders will begin on September 9th and God of War 5 will be receiving a 2022 launch. Whether or not any of this is true is unknown, and although it would be good news for fans, it’s a bit difficult to believe.
