PlayStation 5 consoles will be available at more GameStop stores this Friday

PlayStation 5 will be available to purchase at more GameStop stores this Friday, October 29.

Last week, the retailer sold PS5 bundles at some of its stores in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, San Antonio, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, Chicago and Boston.

This week, it will have limited quantities of PS5 bundles available for purchase across Seattle, San Francisco, Nashville, Raleigh, Detroit and Philadelphia.

You can check if your local store is participating by entering your chosen city or zip code on GameStop’s website.

GameStop regularly makes limited PS5 and Xbox Series X console bundles available to purchase online, but in-store sales of the sought after consoles have been much more limited.

UPDATE 27/10/21: GameStop is selling PS5 console bundles online today, with early access to the products reserved for Pro members.

ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES: In late September, US retailer Best Buy sold limited quantities of PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles in stores for the first time this year, attracting large queues at numerous locations.

Last week, market research firm the NPD Group said PS5 had ended Nintendo Switch’s long-running streak as the US market’s best-selling console.

Prior to September, Nintendo’s system was the best-selling console in the US for a record 33 consecutive months based on units sold.

But PS5 took the crown in both unit and dollar sales last month after Sony was able to make “a big number” of the supply constrained console available to consumers, according to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella.
