PS5 stock UK – live: Today’s restock dates and news from Argos, Very, Game and more

The PS5 isn’t the only console which is ridiculously hard to secure. Spare a thought for our Xbox series X friends who are on the struggle bus with us.

If you’re on the hunt for an Xbox series X as well as a PS5, we’d urge you to follow our live Xbox restock updates, where we bring you all the news, drops and predictions in real-time.

It’s not even Black Friday yet and the Nintendo Switch bundle deals have already started rolling in! Amazon kicked off its Black Friday shopping extravaganza this morning and while we haven’t seen any deals on PS5s, we have seen some on the Switch.

You can currently get a Nintendo Switch neon red/neon blue bundle with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for £298.99 (Amazon.co.uk). That’s the lowest we’ve ever seen this bundle.

It’s been getting harder and harder to predict Amazon restocks in recent months. The retailer used to have a very predictable drop pattern of once every two weeks, but since September, those regular restock interval have been kicked out of the window.

We still hold onto the pattern though, willing it to return. Amazon last restocked the PS5 on 27 October, so theoretically it should restock on Wednesday this week. Fair warning – Amazon waited a whole month before the October drop, last stocking consoles on 29 September.

AO is another retailer we’ve got our eye on this week. It isn’t the easiest retailer to secure stock from, with people literally having to amend the website’s code in order to get it into their basket. but it does seem to have small, sporadic drops pretty frequently.

It had four tiny drops last month – on 1, 4, 16 and 19 October. We’re predicting some more tiny restocks this month, too, and yes, you’ll most likely have to amend the website’s code using the Google Chrome trick.

For a full explanation on the Google Chrome trick, check out the AO entry in our main PS5 stock guide.

Very last had a PS5 restock on 19 October, and it usually drops consoles once every three to four weeks. That means it’s in a prime position to have another restock this week.

Very seems to drop most frequently on a Tuesday, but we have seen it restock on a Wednesday before. If it does drop tomorrow, expect it to restock between 9am and 10am. You’ll be put into a waiting room for about half an hour before being let in to the main stage. Restocks usually last around three hours, so it’s a good retailer to go for.

Argos is one of a handful of retailers that the ever-reliable @PS5StockAlertUK Twitter account has insider knowledge on. It always successfully predicts an Argos restock date, so we’re pretty confident with it as a source.

According to the stock tracker, the retailer has been receiving stock shipments over the last few days – it usually distributes consoles into Argos hubs over the weekend and the beginning of the week. It could go live any day between Tuesday and Friday.

The retailer last dropped the PS5 in the final week of October, with stock going live in-store and online at around 8am, although some people were able to check out at around 4am.

Goooooood morning PS5 hunters and welcome to another episode of The Independent’s PS5 stock tracking liveblog, where we give you all the predictions, news and updates to help you secure a PS5.

We only saw two retailers drop stock last week – Game and John Lewis & Partners, but yesterday we had a pretty lengthy restock at ShopTo, bringing the grand total to three.

This week, we could see restocks at Very, Argos and maybe even AO or Amazon. Stick around, we’ll bring you the live updates in real-time! Let’s get it.
