Once you've got your hands on the system in its various form, we're also bringing you all the best SSDs for PS5 as well as the best PS5 controllers, and the best monitors for PS5.
PS5 restocks live now
Amazon (US): PS5 God of War Raganok bundle in stock - others request an invite
Right now the God of War Ragnarok PS5 bundle is available for $559.99. While it's previously been $50 off, this is still an excellent way to experience one of the best games available on the system a little cheaper than buying separately.
Best Buy: Get the PS5 and God of War Ragnarok bundle
The PS5 is currently available at standard MSRP but you can also pick up the God of War Ragnarok bundle for a combined price cheaper than them both separately.
Walmart: PS5 + God of War Ragnarok bundle in stock
Walmart has the latest PS5 and God of War Ragnarok bundle in stock. You can also choose between the standard PS5 console or PS5 Digital Edition, too. This is the only bundle the retailer has available right now.
Target (US): check local stores for availability
Target sells the PS5 a little differently from everyone else. Instead of a scheduled major restock it will now put the PS5 on sale at select stores each morning. That makes it very difficult to predict availability, so your best option is to check each morning in case the console is available to buy near you.
PlayStation Direct (US): God of War Ragnarok bundle in stock
Sony's official PlayStation Direct store has the God of War Ragnarok bundle in stock now – both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition are available. You need to sign in to your PSN account to buy and free shipping is included.
Amazon (UK): PS5 console and bundles in stock
The PS5 is in stock at Amazon with delivery expected in a few days. You can also pick up PS5 bundles with God of War Ragnarok or Horizon Forbidden West. All other options are currently sold out, too, so this is the only way to get a console right now at the retailer.
Very: Multiple PS5 bundles available to order
Very has a number of PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition bundles available to buy that include games such as God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part 2 and Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

All are in stock now and available for delivery within days.
PlayStation Direct (UK): PS5 bundles are available now

Argos: PS5 in stock at some stores
PS5 consoles are now available at some Argos stores, including the latest God of War Ragnarok bundle. However, availability is limited and varies by region, so you need to head to the store page and enter your postcode to see if stock is available nearby for collection or whether a console can be delivered.
John Lewis: PS5 bundle in stock for £589.99
The PS5 used to sell out in a matter of minutes at John Lewis as the retailer always received very limited stock. But now it has a PS5 bundle featuring God of War Ragnarok and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 available to buy for £589.99. Given the way stock has stabilised over the last six months, it should remain available for some time.
Currys: multiple PS5 God of War Ragnarok bundles available
Currys now has a selection of PS5 bundles available to buy. You can choose from a number of options featuring the standard PS5, Digital Edition and a copy of God of War Ragnarok. Extras in these bundles include games and accessories such as FIFA 23, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Gran Turismo 7 an extra controller and wireless headsets.

Where to buy PS5 in the US
For the US, we see consoles fairly regularly at major retailers and it no longer sells out in a matter of minutes at the likes of Amazon and Walmart. In fact, it's been available for weeks now at Walmart and over a month at the official PlayStation Direct store.
Here are the US stores that carry PS5 and Digital Edition consoles regularly. We update this list with all the latest availability and as soon as we get news of an upcoming restock so you can be best prepared to bag a console.
Amazon: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
PS5 stock pops up intermittently at Amazon but you need to register your interest in order to buy a console or bundles. Right now, you can request an invitation to buy the PS5 console or Horizon Forbidden West bundle when it's next available. Once it is in stock, you'll have up to 72 hours to make use of your exclusive invite, but you aren't guaranteed a console. You no longer have to be an Amazon Prime member to request an invite, though.
Walmart: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
Walmart regularly has the PS5 in stock. It's generally limited to one or two bundles at a time - and it rarely has the console available to buy alone. Keep an eye for bundles featuring the latest games, such as God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West.
Best Buy: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
Best Buy previously only allowed Totaltech Members access to its PS5 restock events. That's all changed now, though. Everyone is now able to buy the console when it's in stock including the latest God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West bundles. Availability is fairly stable now, too.
Target: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
Target used to hold a PS5 restock every few weeks but it's since changed to a new model. Now, the PS5 will be available to buy from a few stores locally each morning, rather than a massive retailer-wide event. That makes it very difficult for us to give you accurate information about console availability, so your best option is to check in each morning and see if any consoles are in stock near you.
GameStop: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
GameStop used to cycle between offering the PS5 online or through exclusive in-store restock events in large (and expensive) bundles. Thankfully, those days are now behind us, so now you can choose from official bundles featuring God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West. Availability can be limited, though, so it's best to check if you can order online or pick up one in-store.
PlayStation Direct: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
Sony's official PlayStation Direct store is usually the most stable when it comes to PS5 console and bundle availability. It tends to have the most options in stock, too, so it's worth checking if you want a wider range of games or accessories along with your console. Restocks are now open to all as well, but you get free delivery as a PS Plus member or when you buy an accessory at the same time.
Where to buy PS5 in the UK
For the UK, the PS5 is in stock all the time now. Some retailers do sell out from time to time, but it's always available in at least a dozen stores at one time. Depending on the retailer, the number of consoles in stock or the quality of bundles on offer varies, too, so it's best to shop around.
Amazon: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition | Forbidden West Bundle
Amazon tends to have at least one console or bundle available at any one time. It can switch between the PS5 by itself, a bundle featuring God of War Ragnarok or the Horizon Forbidden West version. Digital Edition restocks are still harder to find but do pop up regularly. Also, you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to buy a PS5 any more.
Very: View all PS5 bundles
Online department store Very has lots of PS5 bundles available at any one time now. It tends to have a few more customisable options compared to other retailers, so it's good if you have some different games or accessories in mind to buy with a console. Just check that the bundle you order is actually in stock now and not a preorder for a few weeks' time.
Game: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
Game is a fairly solid source of PS5 consoles and bundles in the UK. Multiple options are available at any one time featuring the latest games and accessories. Just try to avoid the ones that come with unwanted tat such as caps and t-shirts - unless that sort of thing is your bag, baby.
Currys: PS5 | PS5 Digital Editon
For a long time, Currys used an invite system to hand out its PS5 consoles. Now, it adds a few bundles to its online store during each PS5 restock. These tend to be very expensive options that are packed with extra games and accessories such as PS5 SSDs, steering wheels and wireless headsets.
PlayStation Direct: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
Sony's official PlayStation Direct store has lots of consoles or bundles in stock at any one time. It's good if you want the standard PS5 by itself or the much harder-to-find Digital Edition. PS Plus members get free delivery, too, while non-members have to buy an additional game or accessory to avoid paying for shipping.
Argos: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
Tracking PS5 restocks at Argos can be a challenge as the retailer distributes consoles to different regions at different times, which means some areas of the UK and Ireland have availability when others might not. Our best advice is simply to check regularly just in case the PS5 or a bundle is available to buy in your area this time around.
Smyths Toys: PS5 | PS5 Digital Edition
When the PS5 is available at Smyths Toys it tends to be through Click and Collect only, though more home delivery options have opened up lately. Individual stores have a very limited number of consoles, too, so you just have to be quick enough to secure one before they sell out. That's less frequent now, at least.
ShopTo: PS5
ShopTo has the PS5 in stock fairly regularly, but it's usually just the latest bundle on offer. You can choose to customise yourself in some cases by adding extra games or accessories, but these are usually limited to what the retailer decides is available - and you pay full price anyway. Look out for bundles with a £20 gift card, though, as this is effectively free money to spend on any extras.
