According to a report by PlayGround.ru, Sony has quietly added a dedicated hardware section to the PlayStation Store on the PS5. Players can look up and buy the console and peripheral accessories directly in the store. Sony has not issued a formal announcement; the change was noticed by players.
The report says the section is split into subcategories, so finding and buying peripherals and the console itself is faster than before. It is currently visible only when the PlayStation Store is opened directly on a PS5. Whether the web store and the PlayStation App have the same section has not been confirmed.
The section includes a dedicated place for PlayStation VR2, which has drawn particular attention in the community. The report notes that in recent months Sony has been gradually removing VR headsets and related accessories from the PlayStation Direct catalog. Giving PS VR2 an entry in the console store contrasts with that earlier approach.
For PS5 players, the extra hardware entry means buying a console, accessories, and VR equipment without going through other channels. The report also says there is no official timeline for whether the feature will be extended to the browser version and the mobile app.
