When it comes to games, Sony stated that titles from PlayStation Studios will be available within the price range of USD 49.99 (~RM 207) to USD 69.99 (~RM 290). At this moment though, Sony has yet to reveal the exact pricing and release date for Malaysia though.
In general, just to be on the safe side, it seems that you may want to set aside around RM 1.7k to RM 2.2k if you want to get your hands on the PS5 consoles once they arrive in Malaysia. We will keep you posted once we hear more from PlayStation Asia, so stay tuned.
