PS5 on Rent in Mumbai and Delhi: Prices and What You Get

Sony raised the price of the PS5 standard edition in India to Rs. 69,990 this year. That is a lot of money for a console you might only switch on during a holiday, a cricket-free weekend or when a big game drops. Renting one in Mumbai or Delhi costs a few hundred rupees a day, and you still get the same console, the same controller and the same games.

This guide covers what a PS5 on rent costs in Mumbai and Delhi right now, what comes with it, how many days actually make sense, and how booking works on Rentux.

PS5 on rent in Mumbai: current prices

These are the live listings on the Mumbai gaming consoles page at the time of writing:

Listing 1 Day 3 Days 1 Week 15 Days 1 Month
PS5 in Mumbai (1 controller + 2 games) Rs. 850 Rs. 1,800 Rs. 3,000 Rs. 6,000 Rs. 7,550
PS5 in Mumbai (2 controllers + 2 games) Rs. 990 Rs. 2,100 Rs. 3,600 Rs. 7,200 Rs. 8,150
PS5 bundle (1 controller + 2 games, Mumbai option) Rs. 700 - Rs. 2,650 - Rs. 5,500

The two-controller listing is only Rs. 140 a day more than the single-controller one. If two people are going to play, take it. Sharing one controller for FIFA or Tekken gets old in about ten minutes.

The 3-day rate is the sweet spot for a long weekend. At Rs. 1,800 it works out to Rs. 600 a day, against Rs. 850 for a single day.

PS5 on rent in Delhi: current prices

Delhi listings are on the Delhi gaming consoles page:

Listing 1 Day 3 Days 7 Days 14 Days 1 Month
PS5 in Delhi Rs. 900 Rs. 1,650 Rs. 2,600 Rs. 3,000 -
PS5 bundle (1 controller + 2 games, Delhi option) Rs. 700 - Rs. 2,650 - Rs. 5,500
PS4 in Delhi (budget option) Rs. 700 Rs. 950 Rs. 1,600 Rs. 2,200 -

Look at the Delhi 14-day rate. Rs. 3,000 for two weeks is barely more than the 7-day price. If you are renting for a school break or you have leave coming up, ask for 14 days even if you think you will only need ten.

What comes with the console

Every PS5 listing above includes the console, at least one DualSense controller and two games of your choice. Confirm with the lender that the power and HDMI cables are in the box. The DualSense is the controller with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, and it is a big part of why PS5 games feel different from older consoles.

You need three things at home: a TV or monitor with an HDMI port, a power socket near it, and ideally a Wi-Fi connection if you want to play online or download updates. A 4K TV helps but is not required. The PS5 works fine on a regular HD TV.

Which games to ask for

Two games come with the rental, so pick them based on who is playing:

  • Solo, story-heavy: God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, Ghost of Tsushima or Horizon Forbidden West. These are the titles people rent a PS5 for in the first place.
  • Friends on the couch: a football game, a racing game or a fighting game. Anything you can pick up in five minutes and play in rounds.
  • Open world for a long rental: GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2 will easily fill two weeks.

Mention your picks when you send the enquiry so the lender can confirm they have those discs ready. If you are in Pune as well, the games on rent page shows the kind of titles lenders usually stock.

How many days should you rent for?

This is where most people overspend. A rough guide:

  • One evening or a party: 1 day. Book the two-controller version in Mumbai.
  • Weekend: 3 days. You get Friday night to Sunday night without watching the clock.
  • Finishing one big game: 1 week. Most story games take 20 to 40 hours, which is a week of evenings.
  • Holidays or work leave: 14 or 15 days. The per-day cost drops a lot.
  • A month or longer: the monthly rate. In Mumbai the bundle monthly rate of Rs. 5,500 is the cheapest per day of anything listed.

Rent or buy? The real numbers

Rent a weekend Rent a month Buy new
Console + controller Rs. 1,650 - 1,800 Rs. 5,500 - 7,550 Rs. 69,990
Two games Included Included Rs. 3,000 - 5,000 each
Second controller Mumbai 2-controller listing Mumbai 2-controller listing Extra cost

You could rent a PS5 for a full month roughly nine times before you spend what the console costs, and that ignores the games. Buying makes sense if you play most nights, all year. If your gaming comes in bursts, renting wins by a wide margin.

Which PS5 is it?

Ask the lender which model you are getting if it matters to you. If you are curious about the difference between the disc, digital and slim versions, our PS5 disc vs digital vs slim guide explains it. For a rental it does not change much: the games play the same.

Still deciding between generations? Read PS4 vs PS5: which console is right for you. Short version: the PS4 is cheaper and fine for older titles, the PS5 is what you want for anything recent.

How booking works on Rentux

  1. Open the PS5 listing for your city and pick the rental length.
  2. Send an enquiry. Rentux passes it to a lender in our rental community in that city.
  3. The lender contacts you to confirm availability for your dates, the games you want, delivery or pickup, and any security deposit.
  4. You get the console, play, and hand it back at the end of the rental.

Deposits and delivery terms are set by each lender, so ask about both when they call. Keep an ID handy in case the lender asks for one.

A few tips before you book

  • Book early for festival weekends. Diwali, Christmas and long weekends are when everyone wants a console at once.
  • Check the box on delivery. Before the lender leaves, check that the controller charges, both games load and the HDMI cable is there.
  • Use your own PSN account. Sign in with your own account so your saves stay with you. Sign out before you return the console.
  • Don't forget the TV settings. Switch your TV to game mode if it has one. It cuts input lag noticeably.
