PS5 pre-orders went live on September 17 and quickly sold out, with stock being scarce ever since. However, it looks like GameStop may have more stock coming in – for those willing to go into the store.

According to industry insider Wario64 on Twitter, who spoke to GameStop employee, the retailer will have more PS5 pre-orders available on Friday (September 25). While it's claimed that GameStop will have stock of the standard PS5 available, those who want to get their hands on these pre-orders will have to visit a store to do so.

What's more, these pre-orders will apparently not arrive on launch day but, instead, will arrive with customers within a week of launch.

According to the tweet, these PS5 pre-orders will be available during normal GameStop hours. In addition, the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset and DualSense Charging Station will not be available for pre-order on Friday, and some stores will not be taking reservations.

It's worth noting that GameStop has not confirmed if it will have pre-orders available on this date. However, Sony has promised that more PS5 pre-orders will be made available following a turbulent pre-order first wave. It could be that this is that promise coming to fruition.
