PS5 Pro is finally here and while the latest console doesn’t bring a whole lot of performance improvements over the regular PS5, the marginal differences may be something gamers would consider unless they are in India.
According to Sony’s official statement, the wireless limitations of the latest PlayStation Console are preventing it from entering the Indian market. India has standardized the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands while PS5 Pro uses the latest 6Ghz, which is waiting to get approval.
According to the statement, “PS5 Pro will not be available in some countries (which presently includes India) where the 6GHz wireless band used in IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) has not yet been allowed.“
India has reserved the 6Ghz network band for ISRO and the timeline given for giving public access to it remains 6 months as of now. Sony is unlikely to release a console catering to Department of Telecommunications (DoT) standards which renders a regular PS5 or a PS5 Slim a better option as of now.
