PS5 restock confirmed at PlayStation Direct today - here's when consoles are available
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, or can always follow our PS5 restock live blog for the latest updates on console drops from here and all the top retailers.

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 pubic sale after this exclusive early access period, but it's not always the case.

That's not guaranteed, though.
For those hearing about this for the first time, take yourself over to the PlayStation Direct store 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
