These prices will be uniform across all retail platforms, including Blinkit. Furthermore, the company has confirmed the availability of the latest console on their platform.
Albinder Dhindsa, CEO of Blinkit and head of international operations at Zomato, announced the collaboration via LinkedIn on April 4, 2024. The PlayStation will be available in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
Blinkit has previously teamed up with big tech companies before to bring their newest products to customers.

People in Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai could order the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 phones on Blinkit and get them delivered in under 10 minutes.
In 2023, Blinkit partnered with Unicorn, an Apple premium reseller, to deliver the 'Make-in-India' iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus directly to customers' homes in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru.
