New details are emerging about the availability of Sony‘s PlayStation 5 as the launch date approaches. According to a Reddit post which outlines information scooped from PlayStation Direct, a new PlayStation website, the purchase of the PlayStation 5 will be limited to just one unit per person/household.

This corresponds to Sony’s earlier announcement, that almost all of its most popular titles will be backward compatible from the first day the PlayStation 5 will be launched.
