Hi,

Looking to purchase a PS5 but wanted to know if there is any difference between a UK PS5 and one from, say, US or Europe (apart from the plug/power lead being different)?

Will all games work on all PS5's and are there any other drawbacks to not getting one for the country you live in?

Thanks in advance.

No drawbacks, they are not region locked.

If you happened to buy one manufactured for the China market then the PSN is hardware-locked to Chinese accounts only, which might put a crimp in your day.
