It’s looking like a good day to snag a PS5 restock, as Game currently has PS5 pre-orders available, albeit in somewhat pricy bundles. And Amazon reportedly had a PS5 restock today, though it looks like its out of stock for the moment.
It’s also worth checking the other U.K. retailers we’ve listed below, even if to just sign up for stock alerts if nothing else. Also the PlayStation Showcase 2021 was recently held, so it’s worth checking out our recap on that to get the lowdown of what to expect for the PS5 in the coming months.
And you take a look at Rory Mellon’s story of his year-long tracking of PS5 pre-orders, sales and restocks for his tips on how to secure a PS5. We’re also hoping that news of scalpers getting less for re-sold PS5 consoles might make getting one of Sony’s gaming machines a little easer, but time will tell on that.
A note on PS5 restocks

Nevertheless, we are committed to bringing you up-to-the-minute information on all restocks as soon as they happen.

Where buy PS5 in the UK: Tips and tricks
Get prepared: Make sure you have all the right payment card details and two-factor authentication available and to hand when you find a PS5 ready to buy. Units can go so fast that if you’re rushing around trying to find your credit card you could miss your chance to secure a PS5 order.
Select a retailer: As you can see from our list above, there are plenty of retailers to choose from, which can actually make the whole process of buying a PS5 a bit complicated. We suggest you select a couple of major retailers like Walmart and Amazon and keep an eye on their PS5 landing pages.
Sign up to stock alerts: Plenty of retailers offer to alert you to when they have PS5 stock in. We suggest you sign up to those services for the retailers that are offering them.
Find the right product page: It might sound obvious, but make sure you’re on the actual buying page for the PS5 or the PS5 Digital Edition. If you’re on a landing page, you might end up missing the moment new stock arrives.
Sign in to retailers: Make sure you sign in to any retailers you might already have an account with. This will make things a lot faster when buying a PS5 if you spot one on sale. And speed is of the essence today.
Keep refreshing and don’t give up: It can be a little demoralizing trying to find PS5 stock when everywhere looks sold out. But regularly refresh product pages to see what pops up; you might get lucky. And also keep checking back here for any PS5 stock updates.
If you still haven’t had any luck getting a console, you can always check our stock widget below. If any other retailers get PS5 stock in throughout the day it’ll show up there. So if you see something jump on that opportunity as soon as you can.
