PS5 pre-orders are scheduled to be available on September 17, and with the UK arriving a bit earlier, select retailers have already had PS5 pre-orders on their shelves. This year’s pre-orders are likely to be received on a first-come, first-served basis, and with retailers like Game and Walmart already opening their own order books, the stakes are high.
We’re listing all the retailers that have (or have had) PS5 pre-order landing pages, so these are the stores you’ll need to check for those initial orders. We will update with the latest information as it arrives, but the next 24 hours will change minute by minute, so it’s best to keep checking with these retailers if you’re on a serious search.
You can hedge your bets with these individual email notifications or sign up for TechRadar’s own system – we’ll bring you the best PS5 pre-order deals as soon as they go live so you can go straight to the best retailers. Microsoft has announced that its Xbox Series X pre-orders will be released on September 22, so we expect more news from Sony at any time.
PS5 pre-orders in the US
If you’re shopping in the US, we recommend heading to Best Buy, Amazon, GameStop, or Walmart to place your PS5 pre-order. Best Buy and Amazon will have the stock ready and waiting, while GameStop, as a more focused retailer, is more likely to offer some incentives alongside its new console.
However, Walmart has been one of the first US retailers to make a move on PS5 pre-orders, with product listings now available. Be sure to check each retailer, though, as these things can change minute by minute in these early hours.
Walmart
Walmart has products on the shelves, with PS5 pre-orders launching today, though they’re quickly selling out. While there is no inventory at the time of this writing, it seems like a good place to start with a pre-order before the crowds.

Best Buy
It appears that Best Buy is available for PS5 pre-order, stock is available right now, but it appears the site is crashing at the time of writing, so the refresh button might be your friend here.

Amazon
Amazon’s PS5 pre-order page remains unchanged as of this writing, only offering the option to register your interest. However, the retailer likely has a massive supply of PS5 pre-orders on the books and the infrastructure to support such a large volume of orders, so you’ll have a good chance of securing yours here.

GameStop
As the most gaming-focused retailer, GameStop will undoubtedly offer its fair share of PS5 reserve slots. Plus, with all of your struggles in recent years, you may also be offering additional incentives to drive shoppers away from the bigger stores. However, many others will be heading here as well, so be sure to include your name on that notification list soon.

PS5 pre-orders in the UK
September 17 came much earlier for UK shoppers, which means more retailers are starting to advance their PS5 pre-orders. Check out the latest for pre-orders below, but remember that everything here is only true at the time of this writing, so be sure to check out your favorite retailers for the best shot.
Amazon
Amazon’s PS5 pre-order page has strangely disappeared from the UK store, which means great things are happening behind the scenes. We wouldn’t be surprised if pre-orders went live very soon here, so we’d keep a finger on that refresh button.

Currys
Add your contact information to the Currys PS5 interest registration page to get your email address listed for the first notification when the PS5 pre-order starts. Currys likely has a good stash of consoles on the way when they hit the market, so it’s nice to have a strong retailer behind your dash for a unit.

Argus
The Argos PS5 pre-order page is simple right now, but as a less tech-centric retailer, you’ll face a lot less competition when you’re trying to pick up a first-wave shipment. However, you can still register your interest to receive an email notification here.

Very
If you are looking to reserve your PS5 through Very, you can start by registering on your own notification page. By registering your interest, you’re putting yourself in the best position for when those advance purchases go live.

Game
The game previously had PS5 pre-orders available, the first UK retailer to do so, but it seems they are all out of stock as of this writing. However, select stores will open at 8 a.m. for in-person pre-orders.

PS5 pre-orders in Australia
Pre-orders have officially opened on Down Under, and retailers like EB Games and JB Hi-Fi are already taking orders for both PS5 consoles. You can check out the latest for pre-orders below, but take note: pre-orders are strictly one per customer, and some retailers require larger deposits than others.
Amazon AU
Amazon’s PS5 pre-order page is now available on the Amazon Australia store, with the possibility of saving an additional A $ 50 over the total ticket price of A $ 749 for the standard PS5 console or A $ 599 for the digital edition from PS5 when you pay with Zip. . In addition to this, Prime members get a promotional credit of AU $ 30 towards a future eligible order when they pre-order a PS5 console.

JB Hi-Fi
Unlike EB Games, which requires a hefty deposit, JB Hi-Fi only asks for a deposit of AU $ 50 to secure a pre-order of the PS5 console, which will be a more reasonable option for many. That said, you can’t trade in your old PS4 Pro console at JB, so you’ll have to pay the full ticket price of AU $ 749 for the standard PS5 console, or AU $ 599 for the PS5 Digital Edition.

EB games (PRE-SOLD OUT)
Australians can now pre-order the standard PS5 console (AU $ 749) or the PS5 Digital Edition (AU $ 599) from EB Games, with a limit of one console per customer. The retailer requires a deposit of AU $ 200 which is quite steep compared to other Australian retailers, however you have the option to lower the price to AU $ 449 for the standard console and AU $ 349 for the Digital Edition when you change your PS4 Pro.
