Investing.com -- Sony announced a Japan-only PlayStation 5 Digital Edition during its "State of Play Japan" stream on Wednesday.
The Japanese-language exclusive PS5 Digital Edition will launch on November 21 at a price of ¥55,000 (tax included), making it ¥17,980 cheaper than the multilingual version currently sold in Japan.
This new model comes with restrictions, as it can only be used with PlayStation accounts set to Japanese language and Japan as the country/region. The storage capacity has been reduced from 1TB to 825GB, similar to Digital Edition models available in other markets.
The pricing appears particularly competitive when compared to international markets. In North America, the PS5 Digital Edition sells for $499 (excluding tax), which converts to approximately ¥75,000.
According to Morgan Stanley, PlayStation 5 has reached approximately 84 million units in cumulative global sales since its 2020 launch through the end of September 2025. The Japanese market accounts for an estimated 7 million units, representing about 8% of total global sales.
The "State of Play Japan" broadcast also featured numerous updates on third-party software and downloadable content for the PlayStation platform.
