Game PS5 restock live: How to get a PS5 right now

There’s no time to lose as the UK’s biggest gaming retailer, Game, has re-opened its order queue for the PS5.

If you want to get your hands on a PS5, you can join the queue here but be quick the wait time will surely shoot up to the dreaded “more than an hour” in the blink of an eye.

The gaming-focused retailer has served up the most restocks of anywhere in the U.K., so we’re not surprised to see it once again taking orders of the hugely in-demand console.

We are getting reports that the site is struggling to deal with the overwhelming traffic as eager gamers, and frustratingly plenty of scalpers, compete to get a console.

Our own tests have been inconclusive, some members of the team have been able to get onto the website and join the queue while others have faced error messages and crashes — our advice is to keep trying.

Perhaps one day buying a PS5 will be a simple task, but it is clearly not today.

Go for the bundles

Game has continued its habit of offering the PS5 in a variety of bundles.

Some of these packages are pretty worthwhile, such as the ones that include an additional controller and games like Demon’s Souls or Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Others, such as the ones that tack on needless extras like a PlayStation branded t-shirt and cap, less so.

Unfortunately, when it comes to Game, don’t waste your time trying to spot a standalone console. If you’re trying to secure a PS5 every second really does count and trying to get just the console itself in your basket will almost certainly waste precious time.

Whenever the retailer restocks it puts the majority of units into premade bundles. So if you want the best chance of actually getting hold of a PS5, you’ll need to cough up more than the £450 RRP.

If you’re fast you can at least grab a bundle with some useful items, but if you have to settle for one that includes some tat, it’s a small price to pay for finally getting hold of Sony’s next-gen console.
