PLAYSTATION 5 restocks are coming thick and fast this week in the UK and US, with more taking place today.
Retailers have been getting more PS5 consoles and bundles in as we head towards Black Friday, so you’ve got plenty of opportunities to bag one for Christmas.

Signing up for retailers’ email alerts is a good way to keep on top of things.

Where to buy PS5 in the UK
There have been quite a few PS5 restocks at UK retailers over the past couple of weeks.
EE and Argos both saw more inventory this week. The added bonus of EE is that you don’t have to pay the whole price upfront either.
EE offers the PS5 from £45 per month for 11 months, with £10 upfront – interest free. So keep an eye on its socials if that sounds appealing.
Amazon UK’s PS5 restock is live right now for both standard and disc editions.
Argos had a restock this morning and while the Digital Edition looks to be sold out, you can still get the standard edition.
GAME has also been tipped for PS5 bundles on October 28/ 29, while Smyths’ website says it’s having a restock next month.
Here’s the lay of the land now:
Where to buy PS5 in the US
We’ve seen a slew of restocks at US retailers too, with some even letting customers purchase in-store.
Walmart has a number of bundles available now but they’re not cheap.
PS5 stock tracker Jake Randall reports that GameStop is getting an online PS5 restock today but you’ll need a GameStop Pro membership to take advantage of it.
If it follow previous patterns, the inventory will go live at 10am.
That’ll be followed by another in-store event for PS5 bundles this Friday, October 29.
This time around, locations will include:
- Seattle
- San Francisco
- Nashville
- Raleigh
- Detroit
- Philadelphia
While it’s not guaranteed, all eyes are on Amazon for a PS5 restock this week too. The online retailer is known for early stock drops at around 3am, which may be the cast this week too.
PS5restocks_etc reports that PlayStation Direct has sent out another round of email invites for a restock today.
Exclusive access will be open between 11am PT / 2pm ET and 4pm PT / 7pm ET.
As we barrel towards Black Friday, we expect a number of retailers to release their inventory over the holiday.
And some are even offering early access to their PS5 stock drops as part of a paid service.
Walmart+ is giving early access to its Black Friday deals, while GameStop’s PowerUp Rewards Pro specifically gives you first dibs on new consoles.
Meanwhile, Best Buy’s pricey Totaltech gives ‘exclusive access’ to ‘hard-to-find tech products’. But beware of using it to get a PS5 and trying to cancel and refund the membership.
If you’d rather not pay for the opportunity to simply buy a console, you’ll need to be quick off the mark when the PS5 restocks drop at these retailers:
Last stock check: October 27, 2021.
In other news, The Sun’s favourite alternative to a games console is the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.
Grab a VR headset and you’ll be able to play the legendary Beat Saber – like Guitar Hero, but with lightsabers.
And Dell’s Alienware R10 Ryzen Edition is a gaming PC powerhouse that crushes both the new consoles.
