Gamers in Japan are renting PS5s like crazy

More people in Japan want to rent PS5 consoles rather than buy them. Stores like GEO report that they can't keep enough rental units available. Players pay about $6 for eight days or $12 for fifteen days with their favorite games. Because of high demand, most of the 400 GEO stores have reached full capacity. The Monster Hunter Wilds game release made many players eager to try the system.

Renting lets gamers test the PS5 before spending hundreds of dollars to purchase one. UK companies offer longer rental periods, which might start happening in Japan soon. The PS5 price has actually increased since its 2020 launch instead of becoming cheaper over time. Many gamers who waited years to play PS5 games find renting an affordable solution. Sony might need to ship more consoles to Japan because of this growing trend.
