PS5 restocks could be imminent today through Sony's PlayStation Direct store according to the official press release from the hardware manufacturer.
Punters across the US and UK will be to be signed in to the PlayStation Direct Store with an email address associated with your PSN ID to have a chance at this PS5 restock. If you're selected, you will be issued with instructions and details on how to purchase the coveted system.
Given that PS5 restocks were previously available at Sony Direct exactly one week ago today, January 13, it's looking likely that a PS5 stock drop will go live today, though we cannot guarantee for sure or give an exact time.
Sony has stated that it has a 'limited amount of PS5 consoles available for customers to purchase direct from PlayStation'. While a specific number of PS5 restocks has not been issued, given the trends we've observed over the past year, PS5 stock drops are likely to be very few in number across both the US and UK.
It's worth reiterating that just because you receive an invitation to purchase a PS5 console, that does not guarantee that PS5 stock will be available. As Sony itself states: 'your purchase window is open for a limited time only and while supplies last'. We recommend keeping a close watch on your inbox today in case you get the good news from the hardware manufacturer.
As for other retailers to watch for PS5 restocks, it has been a week since Gamestop and Walmart last had a stock drop, so we advise checking in with these retailers in case they go live with fresh supply today.
