PS5 restocks remain as elusive as ever as Spring begins to bloom around us. If you're a gamer still hoping to get your hands on Sony's latest console, you'll have to be ready with the knowledge of where they'll be and when. That's why we've put together this regularly updated guide.
This week, Amazon (opens in new tab) has confirmed a PS5 Digital Edition restock (that's the one without a disc drive) for 11 am Eastern Time on Wednesday (March 30). Amazon Prime members will get early access to the restock and it's likely the consoles will sell out before they reach the general sale, so do check you're registered or sign up for a free trial (opens in new tab).
In the UK, there's been recent PS5 restocks from the likes of Game, Currys and Very, but they all went fast. Unfortunately, distribution issues, bots and the global chip shortage continue to hold up production of Sony's in-demand console, but we'll be keeping you posted on the latest PS5 restock news in our guide below.
Scroll down for links to all the major retailers that have seen restocks in the past and are most likely to get them again, together with the dates of the last restock we saw there.

PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition?
It's been more than seven years since the last PlayStation console, the PS4, and the world has been eagerly awaiting a more advanced model. And that's exactly what Sony has delivered. The PS5 offers a huge leap in gaming, and there are a lot of amazing games for the platform.
But should you buy the standard or digital edition? There are pros and cons for the latter. On the plus side, you save a cool $100/£100 and you don't need to get the physical games (instead you download them digitally). On the other hand, some people love the physical games, and they do retain a certain value, meaning you can sell them on later. At the end of the day, it's a matter of personal preference. In all other respects, you're getting the same amazing console with both editions.
