PS5 is in stock and available to buy at Game UK today

PlayStation 5 disc version consoles are in stock and available to buy from Game UK’s website today, it’s said.

Game has warned that its latest restock will see demand “far outweigh” supply, but insisted that it’s taken measures (such as limiting consoles to one per customer) to ensure as many people as possible get the chance to buy one.

Game’s PlayStation 5 consoles will be available to purchase via the links below, although you’ll be placed in a queue and there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to secure one as stock is limited.

Console manufacturers have struggled with stock shortages for over 18 months now, after the pandemic shut down essential supply chains and saw demand for gaming devices increase significantly as countries implemented social distancing measures.

The boss of AMD, which makes the CPUs and GPUs inside PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, has said she expects chip supply issues to ease gradually in the second half of 2022.

Chip maker Toshiba also recently warned that supply issues for power regulating chips will stretch well into next year and perhaps even beyond.

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.
