This is where you can buy a PS5 right now
(The Independent)
UPDATE: The PS5 is now in stock at EE, the BT Shop and Currys. It could restock at Game and Amazon this week. Read on for more information.
It’s been a year and a half since the PS5 was first released, and a year since we started officially tracking PS5 restocks, yet we’re all still here, clinging on to the dream of owning one of the elusive consoles.
While you still can’t reliably buy a PS5 in-store, the situation has massively improved online in recent weeks, and it has led to a nice uplift in restocks throughout the month of May, leading us to believe that the stock shortage may (temporarily?) be over.
Last week, we saw one of the biggest drops on record, with nine retailers restocking the console, including the BT Shop, Currys, John Lewis & Partners, Scan, Asda, Very and Studio. Buying a console on its own is more difficult than picking up a bundle, with standalone consoles selling out in the blink of an eye, but we’re here to help.
Still hunting down the elusive PS5 console? Our liveblog is here to get you one of Sony’s next-gen consoles, as well as provide you with the details on the best games and accessories to grab alongside your new machine, plus the latest game reviews. If you want to find out which online retailers will be the first to restock, then keep scrolling to receive updates as they happen.

An Amazon PS5 restock could take place very, very soon
(The Independent)
It could restock on Wednesday 1 June, so keep your eyes peeled. We’ll update you with any more news. It hasn’t been populated with any details yet, but you can view the new Amazon listing for photographic evidence. Add it to your wish list now, so you can check out more easily when it comes into stock.

Game could also restock the PS5 console today
(Game)
So, those are the five retailers with PS5s currently in stock right now, but could anyone else drop the elusive console? We’re expecting another restock from Game later today.
The retailer has recently got into the habit of listing consoles online between Monday and Thursday, then taking the bundles down on Friday. If it sticks to its recent pattern, we could see more of them drop today.
We expect Game bundles to cost anywhere between £550 and £650 – the retailer rarely ever sells consoles on their own, sadly.

This Currys PS5 bundle comes with a bunch of games and accessories
We’ve got all the intel on the next stock drops
(The Independent)
Currys still has three bundles in stock, and they’ve been available to buy since 25 May. The cheapest bundle costs £649 and comes with Horizon Forbidden West, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, an extra dualsense controller and a Razer headset.
It costs a lot, but it’s pretty worth it if you’re after a decent starter kit – two controllers, a headset and two 2022 games is nothing to sniff at.
