We’ve already had two waves of pre-orders, but it looks like a third is on its way today.
We now know all there is to know about the PlayStation 5 after what feels like an eternity of waiting. While the Xbox Series X price before the PS5, Sony fans were left waiting a little longer.
There are two consoles available the PlayStation 5 (£449.99) and a digital PS5 edition (£349.99). Now we have all the details, PS5 games, confirmed price and specs, and the biggest question is – how do we get our hands on one?
UPDATE: Currys and John Lewis have updated their website sconfirming new stock on 19th November.
StockInformer has also said it is “expecting the third wave of PS5 pre-orders imminently which is reported to be a larger volume of units being available.”
We can’t guarantee you’ll get a console, but check the links below for the latest stock.
The PS5 pre-order journey hasn’t been easy. Retailers teased us by drip-feeding stock with Currys PC World, Very, GAME, Smyths and Amazon all getting stock on 25th September but, unsurprisingly, all selling out extremely quickly.
Be warned; when stock does crop up, there may be wait times even once you’re lucky enough to find a retailer with stock. Both GAME and Currys PC World used queue systems, which wasn’t without issues. The wait time for both retailers was over an hour before fans finally could check out.
Here is all you need to know about how to pre-order the PS5 – and if you want to know the best PS5 accessories to pre-order we have your back too.
When can I pre-order the PlayStation 5?
We have good news though Currys and John Lewis have confirmed new stock is coming on 19th November – so get ready for those pre-orders as they move fast. We’ll keep this page updated.
StockInformer has also now said: “We are expecting the third wave of PS5 pre-orders imminently which is reported to be a larger volume of units being available.”
Pre-orders went live (17th September) in a first wave, but there were a few issues with websites showing a PS5 page to buy but no product as it was snapped up so quickly. Another round of pre-orders went live on 25th September. Largely, pre-orders are only available for the standard PS5 and not the cheaper digital edition.
GameStop announced more stock a few days ago, but there were no Amazon Prime Day deals on the PS5, which was to be expected for such a new console.
The DualSense controller is back in stock on Amazon, Very and Currys.
Where can I pre-order the PlayStation 5?
While the consoles sold out before many of us even knew they were listed, we have been told that more are on the way. The latest pre-order wave on the PlayStation 5 was Friday, September 25th with Currys PC World getting more stock. Gamestop is the latest store to get more stock.
Expect any new stock to be gone in a flash too as while they may have more, it is extremely unlikely that they will have enough stock to meet the demand.
- Currys PC World – 19th November NEW STOCK
- John Lewis – 19th November NEW STOCK
- Smyths – Out of stock.
- Very – Out of stock.
- Amazon UK – Out of stock.
- GAME – Out of stock.
- box.co.uk – Out of stock.
We’ll update you as more stores get stock and when it becomes available. “We’re working tirelessly to secure more stock,” Currys say.
We aim to check this regularly, but it’s still worth checking the above to see if stock has come back in!
When will the PS5 be back in stock in the UK?
You know that a pre-order release has not gone to plan when the company behind it come out and admit it. The official PlayStation Twitter account recently said “Let’s be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother. We truly apologise for that.”
We admire their honesty! Well, with difficulty. GAME, Smyths, Amazon and the regular retailers went live with stock overnight but it was quickly snapped up. Argos went live soon after, but it also sold out. John Lewis went live next – and sold out within minutes too.
The good news is that they have promised more pre-orders will be going live soon and while we do not know an exact date, or what retailers this applies to, it is a promising sign that all hope is not lost. GameStop got stock on 13th October, which shows there is more stock to be had, so keep your eye on our links…
