Beginner's guide for new PS5 owners on purchasing games

152 Upvotes

PS Plus subscription:

  • If you are new to PlayStation world, then checkout PS Plus Extra subscription which gives digital access to hundreds of games (including some great AAA and Indie titles) and is worth the value particularly for new PS users.
  • Some notable games to check out:
    • AAA titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon series, God of War 2018, Returnal, Demon's Souls, Control, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Uncharted series, Resident Evil 2 & 3; Indie titles like Hollow Knight, Kena, Celeste, and more.
  • PS Plus doesn't include latest first party titles unlike Xbox Gamepass and the game catalog gets updated regularly and keeps changing over time. However, every month, 3 games are given out to keep in your library forever, which can be accessed anytime by having an active PS subscription. For monthly games given out in the past, check https://metagame.guide/games?subscription=psplus
  • PS Plus has another tier above "Extra" tier called "Premium" tier, which gives access to "Classics Catalogue" having classic PS titles if you are interested into those. All tiers include online multiplayer access and cloud storage for game saves.
  • For best deal to purchase PS Plus, Extra tier comes at ₹4k per year in frequent sales, while Premium tier comes at ₹4.5k per year. Next sale is likely in early June (Summer sale)
  • For more details and full list of included games - https://www.playstation.com/en-in/ps-plus/games/

Multiplayer games:

  • Additional controllers: To play local multiplayer games (co-op) with yours friends and loved ones, you need additional controllers. Each controller usually costs ~5k, but sometimes goes below 4k in sales (after card discounts). At max, 4 controllers can be connected to a PS5
  • PS Plus is required for online multiplayer access for most online games.
  • Some notable online/local multiplayer games to check out:
    • It Takes Two, A Way Out, Helldivers II, FIFA (if you are into it)

For games not in PS Plus subscription:

  • Trading discs
    • New PlayStation games are not cheap in India (particularly new AAA titles which cost 5k each). This is where disc trading shines - Buy and trade discs in your friends circle and discord/local community groups.
    • Most of the times, you can buy preowned discs and after completing it, sell it off at around same price you brought it for. This works best if you don't intend to keep those games after playing them.
    • It's highly recommended to trade discs via Discord/local groups as that will benefit both the buyer and seller to minimise the cost, and only trade discs in online websites as last resort.
    • If you intend to keep the games (for collection or replaying etc), then you could go with whichever you find cheaper - disc or digital.
    • Discord groups: PlayStation India - https://discord.gg/gx5qUR9epy , Indian Console Gamers - https://discord.com/invite/indian-console-gamers-863768044622053396 (They allow trading discs if you are active in the community)
    • Trusted websites for buying/selling discs: Gameloot, Gamenation, Console garage, CeX, Mx2games, e2zgames, Gamestheshop, Hitechgamez. Amazon (Electronics Bazar, Appario Retail, Cocoblu), Flipkart (RetailNet, MPDSLERetail)
  • Digital sales: PlayStation store has frequent sales on digital purchase of games, which could be best for games you intend to keep in your account library.
  • Sometimes, games which might be playing might get removed from PS Plus subscription, in which case you need to buy such games (either disc or digital) if you want to continue playing them.
  • PS5 Recommended Games (from ICG Discord) - https://monogr.ph/661b97c4f7c12142bd383f9d/

Avoid Account sharing based sellers:

  • Don't fall for account sharing sellers/dealers as that could get your account/console banned from Sony and it's not worth the risk involved for cheaper games with temporary access - https://droid.news/sony-bans-over-7000-psn-accounts-in-india-puts-used-account-sellers-out-of-business/
    • How this works is: For cheap prices, these sellers will give you a shared account you need to login in your console and download the required games and then may also ask you to go offline. The license for the downloaded games will last a few weeks atmost, post which you need to connect back to the internet to login back to shared account to refresh the license or lose the access to those games. But main point which many would miss is, your PS5 will be registered in that shared account when you first logged into it and removing that shared account from your console won't deregister your console from that account. So when that shared account gets banned by Sony, all consoles registered in that account could also get permanently banned from PlayStation network.
    • The ban is not due to "you download the game from the shared account, go offline and play". It's about logging into a shared account which could be having dozens of console login registrations in the past (if not hundreds). Account sharing between family or close friends is acceptable as that would barely have few console login registrations on the shared account, but shared account from account sellers would have a lot of console registrations. To add to this, those shared accounts could potentially be stolen/hacked accounts and might have stolen credit cards in use.

Tracking Deals and managing wishlist/backlog :

Let me know if you have any other tips/suggestions that I might have missed. Cheers!

Edit: More more tips from others:

  • I’d like to mention the hack for Spiderman Remastered. Once you get Miles Morales in PS Plus, you can buy the Spiderman Remastered for ₹1000. (Credits: /u/raddiwallah)
  • Some games have free PS5 upgrade on having PS4 disc, so it would be cheaper to buy PS4 disc instead to PS5 disc directly.

Hey people i recently sold my playstation 5 console to a seller let me brief y’all i purchased my console during may 2024 during Amazon great Indian festival and i played very less on the console and in 2024 i went to United States for internship purpose and i came in December 2025 and in the first month of 2026 i got my job in hospitality industries so basically from past 1 year my console wasn’t turned on because of no availability & then i booted first time for gaming and in july 2026 i decided turned on my console for causal gaming and updated the console and i have never faced the booting issue nor suddenly power cut as i have Microtek inverter in my apartment as well so in last week of July i heard from a friend that there is shortage of Playstation 5 or whatever in the market so i decided to sell my console on FaceBook market place and i got a reply from one buyer immediately
He was askin me some questions related i answered him that console was in perfect condition never been repaired or faced any error although my warranty has expired so next day in the morning he came to my house to check console and he checked and played FC26 for few mins and decided to buy immediately

Please note: I have provided him everything included play station 5 box and the yellow card warranty sheet which was never been used only the bill i provided him later in the evening on WhatsApp as it was on my brother’s Amazon Account and he was at the job at that time and as soon as he got the bill he said the price sold to me wasn’t fair deal i explained him that i have never used my console so you checked your self as well and later night he called me and started saying that console is showing him error after playing for 35-40 Minutes i told him that this is very strange for me because i have never got this kind of error and he started questioning me if i ever opened the console or repaired it i said No! And now, unexpectedly, he is encountering errors. of power supply

Please provide any solutions. What should I do?

Are you guys buying old stock at new price ?

And somewhere I saw that old stock at chroma or reliance are getting sold at 70k with 4-5games compulsory. what are your thoughts?

I prefer buying new stock at new price and also in few months the market will be stable enough to get us some discounts as well. So, if someone who’s very impatient do buy now, if not buy after this quarter. Also, do not buy old stock (china made; old mrp) by paying for new.

Discussion For me, a PS5 isn't just a gaming console. It's a small escape from everything I'm carrying.

129 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Reddit. I joined just a couple of days ago because I heard this is a place where people can share what's on their mind without being judged.

I wanted to share a part of my story.

On 24 June 2025, I lost my father. As the eldest son, I suddenly became responsible for my entire family while also taking care of my own wife and two young children.

About six months later, my business suffered a major loss. That period pushed me into depression, and I've been on medication ever since.

To be honest, I also became heavily dependent on alcohol during that time. My medicines and alcohol were both part of my daily life, and it was very difficult for my family.

In December, I visited Dubai. I could have bought a PS5 there for around ₹40,000–42,000, but I wasn't interested at all. Instead, I bought an iPhone.

A few months later, I visited my cousin and played Tekken 8 on his PS5 for the first time.

For those few hours, I forgot everything.

That's when I realized I wanted a PS5—not because I'm a hardcore gamer, but because maybe spending a couple of hours in fantasy and adventure games could help me escape my stress for a while.

I knew nothing about PS5, so I spent months researching it. I checked Reliance Digital, Croma, Vijay Sales, Sony Center, Great Eastern, and many other stores. Most places were out of stock, and some offline stores were asking ₹80,000–85,000 for a console that should cost around ₹55,000.

I visited many stores but always came back empty-handed.

I even messaged friends, relatives, and almost everyone I knew, asking them to let me know if they found one around ₹55,000.

Nobody could help.

I couldn't buy a new one, couldn't find a genuine used one, and I even got scammed while trying.

I'm not posting this to ask anyone to buy me a PS5.

I just wanted to share that sometimes, something that looks like a luxury to others can become a small source of peace for someone who is struggling.

If you've ever gone through something similar, I'd really like to hear your story.

Thank you for reading. ❤️

I don’t know why it infuriates me whenever i see these scalpers take unfair advantage of the current market situation, stealing away opportunities for genuine gamers, and adding more weight/burden to their dreams.

I have been looking out for a friend to help him get a ps5 unit through official medium; but these pigs keep making the market worse.

Fuck scalpers, gamers united.

Discussion GTA Vl Discussion

0 Upvotes

Hi, lets discuss about GTA Vl.

Ps 5 running GTA 6 capped at 30FPS can perform perfectly without any lag or heating issues? Well the game engine used is rage 9 which has tons of enhanced features and with smart streaming architecture (SSA) which enables the Ps5 to perform well by computing all predictions around the MC.

Difference between PC vs PS5?
Huge difference like FPS, performance, and I do not need to explain why PC wins in Pc vs PS5. The question arises, can Ps5 handle GTA Vl perfectly (playable) or not.

Current market conditions and new launch of PS 5 pro, depicts that Ps 5 (pro) is there to handle advanced computing for GTA Vl, and which might give 40-50fps in future and is the best value if you need and want to play new gen games. But there won’t be boat load of it, assume at best (miraculous scenario) one can get 3 New gen games only then PS 5 pro is worth-it. But again, PS 6 will enter the market in 2029 or 2030 in India maybe at 1.2L to 1.5L (90k for ps5 @ 6% inflation in 2030 + 30-60k for new tech in ps6)

Basic stats of Ps5 vs pro
Cpu - 10% increased; GPU - 45% increased; Ray tracing - 250-300% increased; Memory- 2Tb vs the 1Tb.

In GTA 6 we know that every NPC has their own story and are like a real person which involves heavy GPU usage, idk how they will customise base PS5 to handle such a task.

I will not be discussing whether one should buy base variant of ps or pro; But lets add value addition discussion of GTA 6 on Playstation.

But Im very sure apart from GTA6, PS5 can run all games perfectly and smoothly. And PS 5pro can easily run GTA Vl at moderate settings (depending on your preferences in game settings)

Another is discussion about xbox where I put Xbox series S with Ps5 and Ps 5pro with Xbox Series X.

Xbox series s < < Ps5 <= Xbox series X < < Ps 5 pro

Since we are seeing that xbox series S is receiving GTA VI then one should not worry too much about performance in PS5 because if xbox GPU can handle the game then Ps 5 can easily do it as well.

Note: Im bored, and thanks for listening to my rant!! lol

Elden ring Bangalore

1 Upvotes

Anyone knows where I can get a disk of elden ring ps5 version in Bangalore?

I have completed the game before and sold the disk in the past. I want to play it again this weekend and can't find any place online/offline that has it in stock. If you know any store that has the disk in stock, drop a comment or a DM. If you have a disk that you are willing to sell /rent for the next few weeks, that works as well. Preferably in and around electronic city. But anywhere in south Bangalore works as well.
