During Tuesday’s State of Play showcase, Sony announced a Japanese-language-only PlayStation 5 to be sold in Japan for 55,000 yen (about $357) starting Nov. 21. The digital edition PS5 currently retails for 72,980 yen, meaning the new price point is nearly 25% cheaper. Japan’s new PS5 model will be region-locked to Japan and will only work with a Japanese PlayStation account, according to the Financial Times.
