The PS5 restock hunt is well and truly over. We've been watching retailers hold onto standalone consoles and bundles for weeks at a time now, so we're confident things have fully levelled out. That's excellent news for anyone after a console right now - these devices have been difficult to get your hands on even up until just a few months ago.

We're calming our PS5 restock tracking now that the console is truly out in the wild (only a couple of years too late), but we'll keep this page up to date with all the latest stock should inventories start looking thin once again. If you're after the best PS5 deals and bundles, though, you're in luck. We've been seeing more and more price cuts landing on the PS5 now that's it's readily available, with both bundles and even the console by itself dropping some prices. That's unbelievable considering the rush over the last couple of years, so if you're looking to save some cash we'd recommend heading over to our dedicated guide to the latest prices.

Just below, you'll find the latest PS5 stock levels at all your favorite retailers, as well as the stores we'd recommend hitting first for the healthiest supplies and fastest delivery dates.

Our PS5 restock top tips

We've been tracking PS5 restocks since the console launched, scouring the web day after day for even a hint of a DualSense on the shelves. That means we've seen hundreds of drops come and go and resisted the urge to dive into each and every one ourselves. We've certainly picked up some tips and tricks to finding these elusive drops along the way.

Should you buy PS5 restock bundles?

Picking up a PS5 by itself is far more difficult than finding it bundled up with some games and accessories. Retailers prefer to package extra kit into their listings, and they do tend to stick around on the shelves a lot longer. We'd always recommend checking the value of the additional PS5 accessories you're buying against the total of the bundle, however, to make sure you're not being ripped off - you should only ever pay MSRP for anything you find.

Is it still hard to buy PS5?

The state of PS5 stock today depends on your region. In the US, individual consoles are particularly difficult to locate and even bundles represent a rare opportunity. However, over in the UK we're seeing far more bundles holding their position on the shelves (standalone consoles are still rare).

Another item you might want to pick up once you've been able to buy a PS5 is one of the options on our best PS5 external hard drives page to increase your storage capacity. Or if you've got the need for speed, the best PS5 SSD might be worth a look.
