Sony restricts PS5 Pro lottery in Japan to active players
Sony's Japan store is using a lottery to sell the PlayStation 5 Pro, but only to people with a Japanese PlayStation account who have played at least 60 hours on a PS4 or PS5 within the last two years. Eligible users can enter until October 7, with winners notified October 26. Sony's aiming to keep scalpers at bay amid component shortages and rising demand before Grand Theft Auto VI's release.
- Applicants need 60 hours of recent PS4 or PS5 gaming
- A Japanese PlayStation account is required
- Lottery entries close October 7; winners decide by November 2
- Shortages tied to DRAM supply and GTA VI anticipation
