The next Sony Direct PS5 restock has been announced and invitations are being sent out to customers who registered their interest over the last few weeks. Anybody with an invite will have a chance to purchase a PS5 from Sony Direct today (November 11) at 11 a.m. ET.
This will be Sony Direct's first PS5 restock since it opened up registrations to everyone last month. The signup page is still live, so even if you miss out on this restock it's definitely still worth registering as there could be further drops to come now that we're in the Black Friday deals period.
Confirmation of today's Sony Direct PS5 restock originally surfaced via Twitter with several users sharing their invitations. If you didn't get an invite, a restock for the general public could follow an hour or so after the initial drop. You'll be able to get the PS5 for $499 via this link or the PS5 Digital for $399 via this link.
Now that Black Friday PS5 deals have arrived, slashing the price of loads of the best PS5 games and accessories, we're expecting to see additional PS5 restocks at a host of major retailers. Make sure to bookmark our PS5 restock hub and we'll alert you with the latest updates as we get them.

How to get notifications from Sony Direct
Occasionally, Sony Direct has restocks for invited guests only. (The invites are sent out via e-mail). Sony recently opened up registration to these events to the general public. Now anyone can sign up for invite-only Sony Direct PS5 restocks.
Alternatively, you'll want to have an active Sony Direct account and make sure you have notifications set to "yes." Creating a Sony Direct account is easy. You can sign up via this link here. Once you've set up an account, you'll want to add your address and billing info. Having this info on file will make things easier should you manage to get a PS5 console in your cart.
To turn on notifications from Sony Direct, you'll want to sign into your account, click on "My Profile," and then click the "edit" button from your profile page. You'll then be redirected to a new account settings page. From within that page, choose "notifications" from the left column and then make sure you opt-in to receive news and special offers from Sony.
Keep in mind this trick doesn't guarantee you'll get an invite in time for the next PS5 drop, but it should increase your chances for the next exclusive Sony Direct PS5 restock event.
How to get a PS5 if you didn't receive an invite
Usually after an invite-only PS5 restock, Sony tends to open its virtual queue to the general public. However, that's not always a guarantee. (There have been instances where the retailer has completely sold out.) If there are extra consoles, a restock for the general public will likely occur after the invite-only event wraps up. (Usually an hour or two after the start of the original drop.) Of course, you can bookmark our page and we'll keep you updated on the latest PS5 restock news from Sony Direct and all major U.S. retailers.
What to do once you're in the queue
Once you're on the virtual queue, you'll be given an estimated wait time. All wait times vary, and there's a good chance you'll have "more than an hour" wait. If that's the case, don't despair. Your status can rapidly change and you may have a shorter wait time than estimated. (For instance, after waiting 20 minutes on a previous PS5 restock event, our time was cut from "more than an hour" to just 15 minutes).
Additionally, you may be required to solve a captcha. (A simple challenge/question to ensure you're not a bot.) It usually requires that you select a radio box. As a result, you'll want to make sure your browser tab remains prominent, because if it's not you might miss your captcha challenge and you could forfeit your place in line.
