PS5 consoles will be available in "very limited" supply at GameStop tonight

GameStop has announced that a "very limited number" of PS5 units will be available to order through its website on Wednesday night. If you haven't had the chance to get in a PS5 pre-order, this could be your last chance to secure your console before it launches Thursday, November 12.

Of course, PS5s are in short supply pretty much across the board, and running from store to store on launch day will prove a fruitless affair. When GameStop announced that it would have a small number of Xbox Series X units for sale online, it also mentioned that there would be limited availability in-store on launch day. The same can't be said for PS5, as Sony has previously confirmed that its next-gen launch would be online only.

Unfortunately, GameStop isn't getting specific when it comes to new PS5 stock, so you'll need to check back periodically or download the app and get alerts. And if you aren't lucky enough to grab one from GameStop, don't give up hope - here's our guide to when and where to buy a PS5.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
