It's official, PlayStation 5 is set to make its official debut in China during the second half of 2021! According to what emerged from a recent tweet from the well-known analyst Daniel Ahmad, the Japanese giant confirmed the news in a special greeting video to celebrate the Chinese New Year. So, it would seem that the production of Sony's next-generation console is going well, that the time has come for the arrival of new stocks also in the rest of the world?
For the uninitiated, PS4 made its debut in China only in March 2015, two years after its official release in America and Europe, then the arrival of PlayStation 5 in the Chinese market will be much faster, as Asian players are currently importing consoles from overseas markets, such as the States and Japan. Furthermore, from what emerges from the exhaustive tweet of Ahmad, the version of the console available in China will be identical to that present in the West, although it is very likely that regional blocks will be prepared for certain online services at the launch. We report in detail the analyst's words:
Sony China has confirmed that it intends to officially launch the PlayStation 5 in mainland China during the second quarter of 2021.
Tatsuo Eguchi, president of SIE Shanghai and Soeda Takehito, vice president, confirmed the news today in a special video of wishes for the Chinese New Year.
The PlayStation 5 hardware was originally approved for sale in December, and final preparations are currently underway, including the related software approval. The PS4 was originally launched in March 2015 for China, so PS5 will be faster.
The version that will be launched during the second quarter of 2021 will be the official version of mainland China. It will likely have a regional block of online services at launch. Currently, players in China import consoles from overseas markets such as Japan and the United States.
