PS5 restock look to be quiet until early May, according to PS5 UK Stock – Instant Updates, who has Game And Argos tipped to get a load of PS5s to sell between May 4 and May 12.
This is all good news, as finding where to buy the PS5 has been rather tricky over the past few weeks, with restocks seemingly thin on the ground. For the time being, Currys now has a lottery system you can sign up to, after which you’ll be given a chance to buy a PS5 if the retailer selects you at random.
Check out the retailer pages listed below, and regularly refresh them, to be in with a chance to get either a £449 PS5 or £359 PS5 Digital Edition this month.
We’ve collected a list of U.K. retailers to check for PS5 stock, as well as our handy widget that’ll surface any PS5 bundles. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for stock updates as well.

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.
