PlayStation 5 has been doing great since release and the demand for the console
is unwavering. And Sony has decided to reward its employees.

An eSports writer at EssentiallySports, Soumyadyuti Ghosh is pursuing a
bachelor's degree in Business Management. Before becoming an eSports writer for
EssentiallySports, he worked as a freelance content writer, editor, and
proofreader and primarily worked on projects revolving around insurance, travel,
and gadgets. An unquenchable thirst to learn about all things eSports, a rather
unhealthy obsession with playing video games, and an almost encyclopedic
knowledge of the gaming industry make him a video game aficionado. He still
fondly remembers his first game, which would pave the way for thousands more,
released way back in 2001 by Bungie. The name of the game was Oni and it bore a
significant resemblance to the anime movie Ghost in the Shell. More recently,
Soumyadyuti has found himself enjoying various titles like Call of Duty Mobile,
Doom, Counter-Strike, PUBG among others. His hobbies include playing the guitar
and reading.
