Update: If you missed out on yesterday’s PS5 restock at the PlayStation Direct store then check your inbox as another batch of email invites has been sent out. Whether you registered your details months ago or just yesterday you might have been given exclusive access to the next console drop in the US, which is set to take place today (January 25) from 2pm ET.
For those who missed out but want a chance to get invited for the next wave, you can go to PlayStation Direct right now and register your details. Once that’s submitted, you’ll be in with a chance to get an invite to the next PS5 restock at Sony’s official store. You can always follow our PS5 restock live blog for the latest updates on console drops from here and all the top retailers in the weeks ahead.
Email invites have been sent out for the next PS5 restock at the PlayStation Direct store in the US. It will take place today at 2pm ET and run until 7pm ET – or until stocks last. Those in the UK or Europe, keep an eye on your inboxes for invites soon.
So, if you registered with Sony over the last couple of weeks you’ll want to check your emails to see if there’s an exclusive invite waiting there for you. All you need to do is follow that link once the restock goes live, where you’ll be given a random spot in the queue and – hopefully – a chance to buy a PS5 console. We say hopefully because one is still not guaranteed even with the invite. Your chances should be good, though, if you get a good early spot in the virtual queue.
What if you’ve registered and haven’t been sent an email? That’s just bad luck, unfortunately. Your details will still be stored so perhaps you’ll be more fortunate during the next wave. There is sometimes a public sale after this exclusive early access period, but it’s not always the case.
