Why Renting a PS5 Makes Financial Sense in 2026
A PlayStation 5 is still a ₹50,000-plus purchase. RentSmart’s PS5 week is ₹3,499 and 2 weeks is ₹4,999. We do not rent Xbox.

A PlayStation 5 still costs ₹50,000 or more in India. For someone who plays in bursts — a holiday, a new exclusive, a weekend with friends — that purchase sits idle most of the year.
RentSmart rents PS5 only. The plans we quote are a week at ₹3,499 and 2 weeks at ₹4,999 (₹359/day), plus ₹249 for delivery and pickup. We do not publish a ₹2,000 weekly rate or a ₹6,000 monthly plan. We also do not rent Xbox, so this is not a way to switch consoles from one booking to the next.
A short rental is a good fit for Spider-Man 2 or another PlayStation exclusive you want to finish and return. It is a poor fit if you already game most days. After enough rental weeks, buying is cheaper, and we will say that on WhatsApp.
You also skip storage, resale, and repair of a console you barely use. If hardware fails and the fault is not misuse, we swap it in Delhi NCR. When the dates end, we collect it from the same door.
