In Rainbow Billy: The Book of Fears, gamers will grow up alongside the hero.

Poor British gamers can now get the PlayStation 5, but without leasing

Sony has launched an official PlayStation 5 rental program in the UK in partnership with the Raylo service. You can order the console directly through PlayStation Direct, paying for it monthly instead of a lump sum.

Contracts are available for 12, 24, or 36 months, as well as a flexible plan without a fixed term. A three-year rental of the PS5 Slim costs from £9.95 per month, the month-to-month plan — about £19.50. The Pro version with 2 TB of storage — £37.49 per month. PS VR2, PlayStation Portal, and DualSense Edge are also available by subscription.

At the end of the term, the device must be returned or exchanged. Purchase is not available.

Unlike Xbox All Access, where the console becomes ownership, PS5 rental is beneficial for short-term use — for example, during a major release.
