PS5 restocks for January were a little quiet but it sounds like there will be a chance for many of you to get your hands on the elusive product. If you've been waiting for a PS5 restock there's certainly some good news in store for February. In the UK, Game will be releasing bundles and consoles on February 18, but there's plenty of action taking place across the pond as well.
Gamestop recently had a big PS5 restock in store, but if you were unlucky, no worries - there are also possible drops taking place at other major US retailers in the near future. Amazon’s last restock was right at the end of 2021, but there are several rumors suggesting they could have new stock in soon. Amazon itself hasn't officially started anything, but we will be keeping a lookout.
Walmart also recently had a PS5 restock, and it's looking like a we could see more stock dropping soon. The retailer did offer Walmart Plus members a shot at a console in January, and the fact that it's been a few weeks since the last round (with not even a whisper of more units) suggests that the next wave could be a surprise drop for regular customers.
That's because Walmart tends to advertise its PS5 restocks when there's Walmart Plus memberships required, and with a fairly regular drop frequency over the last few months it's not unreasonable to assume that Walmart already has the consoles in its warehouses. We'd recommend staying tuned here, because this one is likely to drop with little warning.
Sony also has a way to directly buy a possible PS5 directly from them. PS5 consoles sell out almost immediately here, but you can still register with them and keep up to date on any restocks. It's worth noting that registering does not guarantee a PS5, and you will need to receive an email with instructions on how to purchase.
That Game drop is going to be on many a UK calendar though. So if you're interested, make sure to set your alarms. Game usually operates a queuing system that essentially provides a first come, first serve service for those who click the link.
Orders probably will be available from 8 am GMT, and wait times can be from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how many people are trying to get their hands on an item.
