If you’re looking for where to buy PS5, a couple of retailers have just pushed their stock live, but those consoles have been flying off the shelves. John Lewis and Studio both offered the chance to buy PS5 this morning, but struggled under demand. Keep checking in for stock reloads, and keep refreshing the retailers below for more.
Update: John Lewis and Studio are both currently down. While John Lewis previously had stock, we were seeing it as unavailable and Studio was flashing in and out with Digital Edition units before crashing. Keep checking in, as you’ll want to be at the front of the line if more stock is on its way.
Our advice is to keep checking the retailers below, get your payment and shipping details ready (either ready to copy and paste or logged with your retailer), keep product pages open and refreshed, and don’t give up if you come up short.
If you miss out, keep refreshing this page as there may be more PS5 stock in the UK waiting in the wings. We often see retailers reloading stock every few minutes, so don’t give up if you’re initially unlucky. We’re bringing you all the latest updates on where to buy PS5 as soon as more stock drops.

With EE or BT? Here’s where you can buy PS5
BT & EE customers can order a PS5 on release day – November 19 – via your MyBT account (login required).
BT and EE have announced they’ve secured PS5 stock for their customers, but it’s not clear how much stock will be available, and it’s likely to go quick – as we’ve seen with stock everywhere else.
If you’re an EE pay monthly mobile customer, you also have the option to order the console and add the cost to your price plan, splitting it over 11 interest-free installments with EE’s ‘Add to Plan’ service.

How to buy PS5: top tips
1. Find your retailers
The list above will keep you on top of all the latest PS5 stock updates as soon as they come in, but you should keep checking frequently as you never know when more stock will land and you might get lucky.
2. Prepare your wallet
You’re likely already steeled against the PS5 price, but you’ll want to make sure your retailers know that. Prepare your card and shipping details in a separate page or store them with your retailers of choice for a faster checkout.
3. Sign in
You may already have an account with your favourite retailers, but be sure to sign in ahead of stock. This will steal valuable seconds from your order at checkout and you’ll need all the time you can get to buy PS5 today. Plus, you can often save your checkout details with your login (if you’re comfortable doing this) and track your order a little easier. We’d recommend making accounts for each retailer offering PS5 stock today as well.
4. Find the product page
You don’t want to be left navigating the virtual aisles when the chance to buy PS5 does arrive. We’ll be linking straight out to product pages here when stock does land, but if you’re going it alone be sure to have the relevant pages queued up for your search.
5. Don’t give up
There’s likely to be plenty of chances to buy PS5 in the UK today, though you’ll need to be quick. If you come up unlucky however, keep refreshing the retailer’s page – we’ve seen stock return for quickfire refreshes in a matter of minutes in the past so you don’t want to give up at the first hurdle.

PS5 DualSense controller: £59 at Amazon
Grab the PS5 DualSense controller for £59 at Amazon – that’s a whole 99p cheaper than other retailers. Generally, though, Amazon has had a good supply of PS5 controllers over the course of the last few months so we expect stock to be fairly reliable here today.

PS5 games for pre-order at Game
You’ll need something to play once you get your hands on the next-gen console, and while PS5 bundles may still be a pipe dream you can still order your launch titles ready for the big day as well. Game has the biggest repertoire of UK retailers right now, with everything from Demon’s Souls to Sackboy: A Big Adventure available.

Where can you buy PS5 today?
Amazon
Amazon did have a robust level of pre-order stock during the first phase of the PS5 going live at retailers in the UK. Don’t get us wrong, it still flew off the shelves, but we did see it holding on a little longer before flatlining. Amazon UK has also confirmed it will have more PS5 stock available for release date in the UK on November 19 at midday.

Currys
Currys had a few waves of PS5 pre-orders available earlier in the year, so we’re hopeful you’ll be able to buy PS5 here on launch day if you’re quick. Currys has also used a queuing system for these next-gen console releases, so things at least feel a little more civilized here, even if getting hold of a console is still uncertain.

Very
Very was the most recent retailer to offer PS5 pre-orders in the UK, and this stock stuck around for a few waves. You’ll find that Very has PS5 stock ‘coming soon’, and you can often beat the first wave by grabbing extra accessories as well, as Very does keep stock aside to sell alongside controllers and headsets. We’ve seen this happen with the Xbox Series X, too, which also flashed back into stock after release earlier this week (before selling out again).

Game
Game was one of the first UK retailers to offer a PS5 for pre-order last time we were all trying to buy PS5. That means we’re expecting an early jump here, but also a few higher value bundles to keep stock floating around longer as well.

When will you be able to buy PS5?
Retailers have announced certain launch times when you can buy PS5 today, with the next drop due at Amazon at midday. We’d keep checking in until then, as we’ve already seen the 9am slot go live with John Lewis and Studio and Currys took to the shelves even earlier this morning.
