The PS5 is still in short supply despite launching over a year ago, with sporadic and limited restocks doing little to resolve the demand, but if you're following a PS5 stock tracker, your chances of beating scalpers and their bots, as well as your fellow shoppers, are going to increase significantly.
The Xbox Series X restocks have been somewhat more plentiful, but we're seeing another wave of PS5 restocks, so PlayStation fans can look forward to more consoles hitting retailer shelves in their regions.
While our T3 PS5 stock tracker should keep you updated, it's worth bookmarking stock trackers on social media, or checking in at the retailers below to catch any sneaky restocks as some drop with no warning whatsoever. Be sure to make accounts at retailers where this is an option, and save your payment information (check the site is secure) so that you can fly through checkout when more PS5s crop up. Apparently, we'll see the biggest PS5 Digital Edition drop this month thanks to the redesigned model that's already available at Japanese retailers.
Please note, any stock availability is based on the time of writing. Consoles are still selling out in a matter of minutes, so may not be available when you click through.

How to buy the PS5 from GameStop
GameStop remains one of the strongest chances of getting a PS5. This is thanks to its PowerUp Pro (opens in new tab) membership, which offers early access to PS5 console sales. That means, if you sign up and pay the $15 annual membership, you stand a much better chance of getting a console. You also get $60 of reward certificates a year and more points on everything you buy.
