PS5 restocks: Here are the latest PS5 stock updates & how to find one

PS5 stock is selling out fast, so be sure to have your credit card ready.

Looking to buy a PS5? Well, so are millions of other people, and the stock levels we’ve seen so far are tight, even nearly a year after its launch. Every time a retailer puts stock up for sale, it sells out super quickly. The longest we’ve seen them stay in stock is maybe 15 to 20 minutes (usually just a few minutes, though), and that’s at random times, so finding one for yourself can be a truly difficult task. Sony warned that it will be hard to find stock throughout the year and well into 2022, but retailers are promising more are coming, and Sony has secured additional semiconductor chips to make them.

In our PS5 review, we called it a technical marvel with a groundbreaking controller. After spending a few months with it now, it’s nearly impossible to go back to the PS4. Everything about the PS5 is better, from the games to the DualSense haptic feedback. You’ll definitely want to experience it for yourself whenever you get the chance.

When are retailers releasing new PS5 stock?

Update, September 24, 2021: TechRadar is one of the best and most reliable places reporting on PS5 restocks. Select GameStop stores should have the PS5 in-stock next on September 30. Though it’s unknown when Best Buy will have more, stock typically drops between 12pm ET and 3pm ET during the week.

Stores are unreliable when it comes to giving prior notice for PS5 restocks. Some may announce that morning or the night before, while others just drop them with no fanfare. Retailers will, in all likelihood, have more stock throughout the coming months, so you’ll probably have several chances to grab a PS5. Inventory can vary between retailers, with some only offering online orders and others sometimes offering in-store pickup.

Part of the reason stock is so scarce — aside from overwhelming demand — is the ongoing pandemic and a global chip shortage that’s instrumental in making the PS5. It’s unclear when the semiconductor chip shortage will wane, but the Biden administration is looking to ensure something like this doesn’t happen again as it involves the tech industry at large.

During a recent earnings call in August 2021, Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki mentioned that the company had secured enough chips to hits its sales targets by March 31, 2022. The company should ship close to 15 million PS5 units by then.

We’ve linked below to all the options, so be sure to check them often.

Where to buy PS5 accessories in the US

Sony unveiled a line of accessories to accompany the PS5 at its official reveal event. These include a DualSense charging station, wireless headset, media remote, and camera. These PS5 accessories are now available to buy at the following prices:

  • DualSense Wireless Controller (standalone) – Buy now | US$69.99
  • PULSE 3D wireless headset — Buy now | US$99.99
  • HD Camera — Buy now | US$59.99
  • Media Remote — Buy now | US$29.99
  • DualSense Charging Station — Buy now | US$29.99

While it’s easy to get a hold of accessories like the HD Camera, Media Remote, and DualSense controller, the PULSE 3D Wireless headset and DualSense Charging Station tend to sell out. So we wouldn’t recommend paying more than MSRP if you happen to see scalpers trying to sell them. Instead, just wait it out until you see them come back in stock.

Tips for buying a PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition

There are a few things you can do to make sure you’re ready for when PS5s are back in stock, and we created a few lists of tips if you’re looking to specifically buy a PS5 from Walmart, Amazon, or Best Buy.

  1. Create an account on the website you are purchasing from, like Amazon or Best Buy.
  2. Update all of your information, including address and billing info, and save your credit card info.
  3. Download each retailer’s app on your mobile device.
  4. Stay logged in and keep refreshing the page, even if it says “Out of stock.”
  5. Use a stock tracking tool like Nowinstock.net, Honey or CamelCamelCamel.

Creating an account makes the checkout process go a lot faster. Also, with your information already in the system, you won’t need to worry about filling in those pesky shipping and billing forms.

You should also keep an eye out for console bundles that include games and other accessories. These often cost much more than the regular $400 or $500 retail price of the PS5 itself, so they tend to stay in stock longer. However, if you’re willing to shell out a little extra cash — and not for nothing, remember, you’re getting additional games and accessories — then trying to acquire a bundle may be the way to go.

Which PS5 games should you buy?

There are plenty of amazing games on the PS5 right now and there will only be more coming as the year goes on. As for the best PS5 games you can get, we recommend titles like Demon’s Souls and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Both make the most of the console’s graphics and performance boosts compared to its predecessor, and in Demon’s Souls’ case, in particular, the remake is immaculate. When it comes to Spider-Man, Insomniac knocked it out of the park once again, creating not only a great superhero tale, but a great story for Miles as a person, too.

There are also some kid-friendly games like Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Bugsnax that have charmed a lot of people with their cute styles and fun gameplay. You can’t get either of these on an Xbox yet, so PS5 is the way to go if you want to play.

Over the next few years, Sony’s also committed to releasing games like God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Marvel’s Wolverine, and a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake. There’s plenty to look forward to on PlayStation 5. While some of these will be cross-gen and release on PS4 as well, they’re certainly best played on Sony’s newest machine.

Best PS5 headsets to buy

If you don’t usually wear a headset when you play games, you really should. It can improve your gaming experience drastically. We have several recommendations for the best PS5 headsets you can purchase right now, and they’re all stellar choices. Models like the SteelSeries Arctis 7P have it all with 3D audio support, 24-hour battery life, and the most comfortable build on the market.

Others like the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro also boat extreme comfort with sublime audio quality. Finally, if battery life isn’t a huge problem, but you still want great sound, consider the Corsair Virtuouso RGB wireless headset.

No matter what you’re looking for — wired or wireless, affordable or expensive — you’re sure to find one that fits you perfectly.
