The retailer expected a large amount of traffic and therefore only allowed consumers to purchase one console within 24 hours. Any further orders will be cancelled. Alternatively, GAME advises anyone to contact their local store for potentially more stock. Head on over to T3's official PS5 restock tracker to find out where the next drop will take place.

Original Story: PlayStation 5 hunters far and wide, it's time to assemble once more. This time, new information has surfaced surrounding retailer GAME and its next shipment of PS5 consoles – and it's looking to be another good one.
As the leading games retailer in the UK, naturally GAME has a good system in place to receive regular shipments of stock. After previously having a restock at the end of September, GAME is now preparing for its next batch of consoles and from what details we have, it's seeming as if PS5 bundles will be the main option on offer.
This tip comes from the very well trusted PS5 Stock UK Twitter account (over 171,000 followers), which constantly updates on what's happening with the latest stock drops. The PS5 bundles page on GAME has been updated to show the date of October 21st, meaning that an online restock will most likely take place next week.
📰 PlayStation 5 (GAME) NewsGAME has updated the PS5 bundles page with a 21/10 release date, indicating a possible online restock around the 12th of October. No further information is currently available.https://t.co/SaSokhTYL2#PlayStation5 #PS5 #PS5Restock #PS5Stock pic.twitter.com/QvWid4aiLqOctober 6, 2021
While no further information has been shared yet, the PS5 Stock UK Twitter account does predict that consoles will go up for sale on approximately October 12th. It was also pointed out by the account that the October 21st date listed currently on GAME's website is the last expected date for deliveries to be fulfilled, hence why we're expecting a drop sometime around the week prior.
With bundles expected to be the main offering, we'd recommend avoiding any that contain Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ghost of Tsushima, as these sell out the fastest from our experience. We laid out some other tips in this handy guide.
As always, for anyone else still searching for the elusive console, head on over to the official T3 PS5 restock tracker, where you will find all of the latest information. Best of luck!
