The lack of clarity around PS5 restock updates continues to be a real bane of wannabe owners' lives. Despite the fact the console has been on the market for almost 18 months, trying to buy a PS5 has never been easy. Thanks to ongoing supply issues, tracking down PS5 stock is very much still a game itself.
Most major retailers haven't had stock for almost a month now, which isn't great for anyone trying to track down a PS5. However, what is great is that we're here to help. Our team has been tracking PS5 stock since before the console launched in November 2020, and can help guide you to the best place to be - and when - to nab yourself a PS5.
We make sure we stick with the trusted retailers - think Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and Sony in the US and PlayStation direct, Amazon UK, and GAME in the UK - so you don't have to worry about being shipped a brick in a PS5 box or having to deal with scalper prices.
When you finally do get your hands on a PS5 we'll still be here to help, so be sure to head on over to our best PS5 accessories and best PS5 headsets guides to complete your setup.
