Update: Sony Direct is now out of stock, please check the PS5 Restock Information Tracker for updates on PS5 restocking.

One day after the last restock event, Sony Direct's PS5 restock is back in stock. The Sony Direct Store now has a virtual queue for PS5 restocking. This restocking event is open to everyone. You can purchase the PS5 for $499 by following this link or the PS5 Digital for $399 by following this link.

Additionally, there are rumors of a major PS5 restocking event on Amazon this week.

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. Therefore, keep your browser tabs prominent or you may miss the captcha challenge and not be able to get in line.

Even if Sony Direct sells out of consoles, other retailers are expected to stock them in the next few days as Sony attempts to increase production. In fact, the Internet is buzzing about the possibility of a massive restocking on Amazon this week. You can also check for PS5 restocks at any time using the PS5 Tracker below.

Sony Direct is increasing the number of PS5 restocking events. In fact, it is not uncommon to see two restocking events per week; use the PS5 Restock Tracker to see when the next PS5 restocking will take place at US retailers.
