renew: If you’re in the UK after a PS5 restocking, yesterday was a big day as the console is available at the PlayStation Direct store, Game and Very. In some places, these can be used for more than six hours or more — a rare occurrence when purchasing a PS5. Hopefully this bodes well for the future as we wait for the next batch of consoles to hit stores in early May. Stay tuned to our PS5 restocking live blog and where to buy a PS5 hub for the latest updates.
Did you sign up for the PS5 Restock Update from the PlayStation Direct store? If so, you should check your email this morning, as Sony has sent out another round of invites for the next restocking event. It happened at 2pm EST. If any stock remains, anyone without an invite will immediately start the public sale.
The UK PS Direct store was restocked earlier this morning and is now sold out. Meanwhile, Very and Game also have a small number of PS5 bundles in stock. These are available for a decent amount of time – around 6 hours or so – which bodes well for any future PS5 restocks in the UK.
It’s important to point out that, unfortunately, getting into the PlayStation Direct queue doesn’t guarantee you’ll have a console during the PS5 restocking period. Locations are assigned randomly, so it all depends on whether you’re lucky enough to get an early location and how long the console is in stock. Hang in there, though, and there’s a good chance you’ll be leaving with your PS5 today.Also, there doesn’t appear to be any PS5 digital consoles in this restock from PlayStation Direct
