Update: PS5 units are now sold out at Sony Direct, please click here for updates on PS5 restocking.

Upon entering the virtual queue, an estimated wait time is displayed. Wait times vary and there is a good chance that you will have to wait "over an hour". Even in that case, do not despair. Your status may change rapidly and your wait time may be shorter than estimated. (For example, after waiting 20 minutes for a previous PS5 restocking event, the wait was reduced from "over an hour" to just 15 minutes.)

Additionally, you may have to unscramble the captcha. (A simple challenge/question to make sure you are not a bot). Usually a radio box must be selected. As a result, the browser tab should be prominent, otherwise you may miss the captcha challenge and lose your place in the queue.
