Many users want to buy a PS5, but it is hard to come by. However, this week there are supposed to be more consoles available. Therefore, you should keep an eye on important retailers this week or follow our PS5 ticker.
After you can pre-order PS5 controllers in new colors since the beginning of the week, there are also indications that you can now purchase new PS5 consoles at any time.
According to various sources, a large number of PS5 consoles were supposed to have arrived at the beginning of this week. Currently, the goods are mainly located in the UK.
Nonetheless, the rumor gives hope that German-speaking customers can buy a PS5 console at any time again. This rumor is also fueled by the suggestion that Sony has shipped a larger PS5 delivery to Europe. Evidence for this includes various PS5 sales in England, Switzerland, and Austria (via PCGH).
