The new maximum level 50 is currently being tested in Australia for trainers of Pokémon GO. Especially the XP requirement is a shock for many players.
This is currently being tested: A few days ago, Niantic announced level 50 and some trainers can already reach the new maximum level. However, the tests are not being conducted in Germany, but in Australia.
Some trainers are now reporting on their experiences, and data miners have also found information about the new maximum level. The XP amount required for level 50 stands out in particular.
You need this much XP: You need a total of 176 million XP to reach level 50. For comparison: You only need a total of 20 million XP for level 40.
The increase is enormous. The data miners of “Pokeminers” have found this amount of XP for level 50 in the code and shown it here:

What does this mean for level 50? Even though there are only 10 additional levels, the way there is incredibly long. Especially for players who have just reached level 40.
You need to have reached level 40 almost 9 times to get to level 50. Additionally, there are tasks from each level that you need to complete. Comparing the requirements here, level 40 was almost child’s play compared to level 50.
This is how it works with XL candies: Not only the requirements for level 50 are hot but also the XL candies. You need them to level up Pokémon from level 40 and bring them to level 50. Normal candies can no longer be used.
You need 296 XL candies to push a Pokémon from level 40 to 50. Additionally, about 250,000 Stardust per Pokémon is required. If you want to level up all your monsters that are already at level 40, you should already start collecting Stardust diligently.
Here you can see the requirements for a power-up to level 49. Source: reddit
How do you get XL candies? In Australia, trainers can currently convert 100 normal candies into one XL candy. You would need 29,600 normal candies to obtain enough XL candies to push a Pokémon to level 50.
But don’t worry, there are also other ways to get XL candies:
Eggs yield XL candies – players report over 20 XL candies for a 10-kilometer egg, plus normal candies
Raids reportedly yield one XL candy for a Pokémon
Sometimes sending or trading Pokémon also gives one XL candy
Catching Pokémon in the wild sometimes gives XL candies
You don’t have to scrape together all your candy supplies to level up a Pokémon. However, you first need to earn the XL candies in the same ways you get normal candies and cannot push a Pokémon directly to level 50.
You should keep this in mind: So far, this is all just tests that Niantic is conducting. They are paying attention to player feedback and may make adjustments if necessary. So keep in mind that all this data may not be final.
What do you think of the new requirements for level 50? Are the challenges too great or are you looking forward to it?
On November 19, the PS5 was released in Germany, and with it came a 3rd wave of pre-orders. This again happened chaotically and left many interested buyers disappointed. However, for some who were able to snag a console at Otto, there was bad news this morning.
In addition to this user, dozens of other angry customers are currently reporting on Twitter and Facebook. The user @Mike48747365 even says that he would have preferred not to have received any pre-order at all than to have anticipation and then be canceled afterward.
Many are also angry because they had to make a deposit of 150 euros directly. However, according to Otto, the money is supposed to be refunded “in the coming days” (via Twitter).
What is behind the cancellation? As Otto mentions in the email regarding the cancellations, technical difficulties led to the problem. Apparently, the order was erroneously placed when the PS5 was already sold out:
Due to the high demand, there were technical difficulties in the ordering process. Although the PS5 was sold out, erroneous orders were still placed for a few seconds. Unfortunately, your order was one of them. We can fully understand your disappointment and would like to sincerely apologize to you.
Part of the email from Otto regarding the PS5 cancellation
More about the release day and the chaos surrounding the PS5:
What else leads to frustration? As many PS5 buyers report, they were not informed about the cancellation via email, but only found out by checking their customer account.
This is also advised by Otto’s customer service on Twitter. What is stated in the customer account should correspond to the truth. If you haven’t received an email yet, you should therefore check your account for safety.

Are there still problems aside from Otto? In Germany, it seems to mostly affect the provider Otto. However, there were also problems in other countries.
The shop Currys PC World from the UK promised to sell consoles at 9:00 AM British time. However, some users were able to order earlier, so there was no sale at all. As Pushsquare reports, the shop subsequently canceled the entire sale and canceled the early orders.
What happens next? Currently, there is no retailer in Germany that still has consoles available. Allegedly, Amazon is supposed to receive more stock later this year, but there is no official confirmation.
How it will proceed now is summarized for you here:
The MMORPG Aion is gaining traction in Korea, despite experiencing challenging times in recent months. The reason is the launch of a Classic Server.
What is the current status of Aion? The latest financial report from publisher NCSoft painted a rather bleak picture of the MMORPG. The 2nd quarter of 2020 was the weakest since its release in 2008. While the player base is somewhat stable, the online RPG currently stands in the second tier.
The MMORPG Aion is not dead yet and is climbing up the Korean charts.
What has changed now? The current chart rankings from Korea suddenly present a very different picture, as the website Game Meca shows. Aion has managed to rise 6 places in the last week and is currently positioned at rank 7. At the beginning of August, it wasn’t even in the top 20.
What is the reason for this boom? On November 11, a Classic Server of Aion went live in Korea. This brings the MMORPG back to version 1.2, quite far back to the early days. The server is planned to be gradually expanded up to version 2.7. It is unclear whether NCSoft will then shut down the server or if it will simply stop receiving updates.
Players are essentially expected to relive the story of Aion. From the beginning to the current version. How long the server will run is uncertain.
Were MMORPGs better in the past?
Were MMORPGs really better in the past? And did WoW ruin the “old feeling” somewhat? The editorial team has addressed these questions in the MeinMMO podcast.
New is that players receive significantly more rewards than they do in the regular version.
The server is doing really well, evident not only in Aion’s chart placement but also in the fact that the server is full. Videos show how crowded the Classic Server of Aion is:
https://youtu.be/PQ3je6_ziKY
Is this server also coming to us? It is currently unclear whether a Classic Server will also launch in countries outside of Korea. However, the success that Aion is currently celebrating in Korea could lead to NCSoft also starting such a server in Europe and the USA. But this has not yet been confirmed.
NCSoft is currently working on another MMORPG titled Project LW. However, it is not yet known what this is about.

In Pokémon GO, the Corona bonuses have been reactivated. Niantic now offers you more opportunities to play effectively from home. We show you the new features.
This is what happened: Last night, Niantic announced that they are bringing back the Corona bonuses. Just a few weeks ago, they partially disabled the bonuses – now they are largely back.
This is intended to make playing from home easier, so that you don’t have to go outside during the Corona pandemic just to play Pokémon GO.
All Corona bonuses that are now active
These bonuses are new: Starting from November 20, the following bonuses are again active in Pokémon GO:
Incense is more effective again – last time it attracted a Pokémon every 30 seconds instead of just once a minute
Your buddy Pokémon delivers more gifts again – 5 gifts at once and a maximum of 3 times a day
Incense is now more effective
Additionally, various events in the future will bring further Corona bonuses. These include:
Reduced egg distances
Increased trade radius
Boxes for one PokéCoin
How long are the bonuses active? You can benefit from these bonuses at least until June 2021. Niantic wants to give notice one month in advance if they deactivate the bonuses.
What other bonuses are active? Some Corona bonuses have not been switched off yet and have been active since the beginning of the year. These bonuses include:
The maximum number of gifts has been increased from 10 to 20 per bag
The first catch of the day yields triple Stardust and triple XP
Incense lasts for 60 minutes
The PvP league requires no walked kilometers to unlock battle sets
How much is the game changing? These bonuses, along with other adjustments, have significantly eased playing from home. Remote raids also help with this, as you can comfortably participate in raids from your sofa.
With the improved incense, you can also catch Pokémon from home, and your buddy ensures gifts so that you can gift your friends with Poké Balls.
You can now benefit from these bonuses at least until next summer. This also applies to the upcoming event with Shiny Goldeen:
The criticism of Hearthstone continues. Blizzard has now apologized. However, that is not enough for the players.
The Battle Pass in the latest Hearthstone expansion was not well received by many players. This is not only due to the expensive price of 20 €, but also to the low rewards. For days, there has been a flood of criticism in the forums and on Reddit. Now Blizzard has responded and apologized. There are supposed to be some changes – but they do not go far enough for the players.
What happened? Hearthstone has received a new reward system with the new expansion “Madness at the Darkmoon Faire”. There is now a reward path on which players can unlock gold, card packs, and arena access by collecting XP and leveling up.
In addition, there is a Battle Pass for 20 €, which allows players to unlock 7 additional skins.
However, the vast majority in the forums find that the Battle Pass and reward path are not good. The Battle Pass is too expensive and the reward path requires far too many experience points to feel actual progress.
Especially the last levels are very frustrating, as you directly unlock card packs here, but have to put in an extreme amount of work to reach these stages.
This is what the Hearthstone subreddit has looked like for days:
All the top posts are criticism of the new system.
How Blizzard responds: Ben Lee, the Game Director, apologized in the forum for the “confusion and disappointment” they caused. They have heard the feedback and agree on some points, which is why there will be changes soon. The last 6 card packs from the reward path will be exchanged for gold rewards. Instead of 6 packs, there will be 1350 gold – which is a bit more than 13 packs. The value of the last rewards has thus practically doubled.
Lee also explained that they want to support the XP system with bonus events that will take place every season. This way, there will be various opportunities to gather large amounts of XP, so even players in the middle of an expansion can still join and grab rewards.
Players remain dissatisfied: The players’ reactions to this statement are still negative. Although some see it as a first good step, many players are disappointed. Blizzard has only addressed part of the criticism and left many questions unanswered. Players are demanding solutions for the following problems and points of criticism:
Why is the tavern pass not included in the mega pack when the last mega pack had one?
Why is the tavern pass more expensive than a normal Battle Pass in other games, yet offers much fewer rewards?
And why does the new system favor the standard game mode?
Some players also believe that these “XP events” were never really planned and were invented by Blizzard afterwards to appease the players. For example, “Frozenwind” writes in the forum:
If I think about it a little more, it is clear that ‘We have planned special XP events all along’ is a complete lie. Because if that were true, we would have one today to celebrate the launch of the new expansion and encourage players to come back.
The atmosphere around Hearthstone remains tense. It will likely need further revisions before the community is satisfied and Hearthstone is back in a good place.
The situation is unfortunate, as the 135 new cards are quite interesting.

Elite Dangerous is regularly updated. 2021 will bring the Odyssey expansion.
A Sandbox in Space
What exactly does the space game offer? It is the current installment in the long-running Elite series, which began in 1984. You take on the role of a pilot exploring a vast galaxy. Whether you want to be a trader, pirate, or explorer is entirely up to you. During your travels, you meet other players with whom you can interact. Combat between players is also possible.
Over time, you earn money through trading or missions and can upgrade your ship or buy new, better spacecraft. The story is regularly continued with expansions and updates. The Thargoids were introduced to the game, an alien race against which war is waged. Since the Horizons expansion, released at the end of 2015, it is even possible to explore planets with a vehicle. You can also get this expansion for free.
Players in Elite Dangerous love to write their own stories. For example, some try to fly as far into space as possible to see what awaits them. It often happens that they run out of fuel, which leads to interesting rescue missions.
Who is Elite Dangerous worth it for? If you enjoy sandbox games that offer great freedom and let you write your own story, then Elite Dangerous provides the perfect playground. Moreover, you should, of course, like science fiction and enjoy zooming through space in spaceships and engaging in star battles.
What does the future hold for the game? The developers plan further updates. A major expansion called Odyssey is planned, set to be released in spring 2021. With this, you can land on planets and disembark from your ships. You will then explore the alien worlds on foot, and there will even be shooter battles. This way, Elite Dangerous is becoming more and more of a space MMO that can compete with the upcoming Star Citizen.
Have you already gotten Elite Dangerous? Do you like the space game?

Today, on 20.11.2020, Season 22 of Diablo 3 starts. We will show you what it contains and who it is worthwhile for.
When is the start time of Season 22? It starts as usual at 5:00 PM German time for all PC players. Console players will have to wait longer for the start.
Based on the start times of the last seasons, it is assumed that Season 22 will start on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch at 2:00 AM on November 21.
When does Season 22 end? A specific end date has not yet been set. Typically, a season in Diablo 3 lasts about three months. If everything goes according to plan, Blizzard will notify approximately two weeks before this end. As usual, we will immediately inform you here on MeinMMO about the end date as soon as it is determined.
What makes Season 22 special?
This is what to expect: With each new season in Diablo 3, the developers bring a special theme that accompanies the chapter. In S22 this includes the new Shadow Clones and a Cube upgrade.
Shadow Clones: Players activating shrines or pylons with their seasonal character create a shadow clone. This is a clone of your class that scales with your character. It lasts for one minute or until it dies.
Cube Upgrade:Kanai’s Cube now has four slots instead of the usual three. This bonus is available only in Season 22. In the fourth slot, you can choose any property. The only restriction is that you cannot have the same property active in the cube more than once.
What about starter sets? In the last seasons, each of the seven classes in Diablo 3 received a new set. You can eagerly try them out in S22, as the current starter sets for each class consist of the latest set.
This is particularly worthwhile for players who took a break from the last seasons but are now curious about how their favorite class or other classes play with the new sets.
Which class is the best? Due to balance adjustments and changes to Kanai’s Cube, many sets are currently playing in the S-tier. In our Tier List for Season 22 in Diablo 3, you will find out which classes and which builds are currently the best.
The Season 22 is worth it for you if … you have taken a longer break from Diablo 3 and hoped for a fresh wind. The seasonal theme with its shadow clones is a completely new way to battle through the leveling phase and Nephalem portals. Moreover, the theme is different for each class – it won’t get boring quickly as there is a lot to explore. Because for each class, the clones use three different builds.
The fourth slot in Kanai’s Cube finally opens up creative possibilities again to refine builds. Now a new set or another weapon can finally be included in the gear that was previously decided based on “good” or “bad” for a build.
How do you decide? With Season 22, there are several new features and incentives to play in Diablo 3. Is this enough for you to start again this weekend and hunt through the Greater Nephalem portals alone or with friends – or have you lost interest? Let us know your thoughts here on MeinMMO in the comments.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War lurks a deadly threat on the Moscow map that is worse than any Kalashnikov – Soviet windows of death! Learn how these death traps work and how to avoid them here at MeinMMO.
What is the deal with the windows in Moscow? One of the maps in the multiplayer mode in Cold War takes place in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. There, you fight on the streets in front of socialist propaganda art as well as in the halls of a Lenin monument.
When the gunfire gets too intense, there are numerous buildings where you can seek shelter. Among other things, you can dive or slide through windows. But when you want to glide through the windows, be careful that you can actually fit through.
Because at the end of the large boulevard in the south, there is a rectangular office building. There is a tempting window at ground level that looks just passable.
But one does not pass. Those who still want to slide through the window opening get stuck permanently.
By the way, you can learn about a better trip to Moscow here:
What can you do if you get stuck? If you are stuck in the window, you are a defenseless victim that anyone can shoot from a safe distance. There is no way to escape. The only way out is death. In a reddit video, user goodmorningvietnam01 gets stuck in the window and after unsuccessfully trying to free himself, he frustratedly pulls out a Molotov cocktail and sets himself on fire to respawn free and unbound.

To avoid being in this humiliating situation, you should avoid all ground-level windows and not slide through them. At least until the developers fix this issue, because according to fans on reddit, the window was actually intended to be passable but due to a bug, you get stuck.
Where else is there a risk of getting stuck? The window is not the only death trap in Moscow. Pro gamer FormaL wants to pass through a glass door in the middle of the map and breaks it. However, when he tries to climb through the empty door frame, he also gets stuck and cannot get out. Luckily, a teammate helps him with a friendly punch and literally punches him out of trouble.

It therefore seems that Moscow is still full of bugs and dangers and the developers should take another look at the map. However, the developers take the balancing and further development of the game seriously and have already nerfed issues like the excessively powerful submachine gun MP5. It is quite possible that bugs on the maps will also be fixed in the next patch.

One of the most useful travel methods from World of Warcraft does not work in Shadowlands. The Game Director explains why.
Even though Battle for Azeroth was not the most popular expansion, there was an item that players regularly and happily used. The Master’s Whistle was a loyal companion and shortened many a travel time. But now it must be abandoned. It will not work in the Shadowlands.
The days of the Master’s Whistle seem to be over.
What is the Master’s Whistle? The Master’s Whistle is an item introduced with Legion. It allows the player to be picked up by a Gryphon every 5 minutes and dropped off at the next available flight master. It is therefore an elegant way to quickly return to civilization if you want to stay in the respective area or if your Hearthstone is on cooldown.
Additionally, the whistle is a good means to rescue oneself if one gets “stuck” somewhere in the game world.
What was said? Ion Hazzikostas explained in an interview with wowhead that the Master’s Whistle will not work in the Shadowlands and that there are no plans to upgrade it. In every area, there are several transportation options and even more if you belong to the respective covenant.
He further explained:
The Master’s Whistle was created because there were things like the emissary quests of the Wardens and the Kirin Tor, or the goals of the war campaign in BfA. Back then, you looked at the map and the game told you: ‘Hey, you need to visit these four areas and cover thousands of meters in-game to accomplish this one goal.’ This led to a tedious amount of travel time, but in the Shadowlands, we are not demanding such things from players this time.
Ion Hazzikostas, Game Director of World of Warcraft
Hazzikostas then added that the whole idea of the whistle makes little sense in the Shadowlands for story reasons. He is referring to the fact that there are no flight masters of the Alliance and Horde in the Shadowlands, after all, these are realms inhabited and ruled by other forces.
However, the whistle still works in Legion and the areas of Battle for Azeroth.
What does that mean? In plain terms, this means that players will probably have to prepare for a bit more travel time in Shadowlands – at least when returning from a quest to the camp. Whether the overall travel time while questing will also increase remains to be seen. But we will know for sure in a week when Shadowlands has celebrated its release.
Will you miss the Master’s Whistle? Or do you think you wouldn’t have needed it in the Shadowlands anyway?

The new Stasis element in Destiny 2 is extremely powerful, but also causes quite a bit of trouble. Bungie is therefore providing nerfs, especially affecting the popular Warlock.
On November 10, Destiny 2: Beyond Light introduced the Stasis element into the game. The new ice abilities brought many new playstyles and fresh wind into the sandbox.
These problems arise from Stasis: The first new element in 6 years has also brought some issues into the Destiny universe.
On the evening of November 19, Patch 3.0.0.3 was released. It addressed Stasis in general, but specifically targeted the new Shadebinder Warlock.
MeinMMO presents to you in this article the changes that you, as a Stasis user and also a victim, will feel. If you want to know more about how to improve your new Stasis classes and what abilities exist, check this out:
Here are the detailed changes to Stasis in Beyond Light
This is different about Stasis: The Stasis exploit, which made even raid bosses fall instantly, has now been fixed. Therefore, nothing stands in the way of the start of the new raid on November 21.
However, there are also changes that you will feel in the fight against Stasis:
If you are frozen by Stasis skills, you can break out at the press of a button – but this inflicts high damage on you. This break-out damage has been reduced from 110 to 90 – a Guardian has about 200 health.
Additionally, the resilience status now provides a stronger reduction of break-out damage (maximum value at 90 resilience)
Cold Snap seeker speed is now 23% slower
You now have a better chance of escaping from the ice
Only in PvP, i.e. the Crucible, there were further changes. These affect the duration that an opposing Guardian is frozen:
The freeze duration of Cold Snap (grenade) is now 1.35 seconds (previously 4.75 seconds)
This is what Shadebinder Warlocks must now deal with
In our poll about the starter class in Beyond Light on MeinMMO, it was shown that the Shadebinder Warlock is the most popular among you. Therefore, many of you now must be strong, as nerfs are coming.
Here are the nerfs: Penumbral Explosion is the Stasis melee ability of the Warlock. In it, you fire an ice projectile with their staff. The ability has received several nerfs:
The projectile speed has been reduced by 20%
The range is now 16 meters (previously 28 meters)
16 m)
The freeze duration is now 1.35 seconds (previously 4.75 seconds) – keep in mind that the duration is only different in PvP
The Stasis super Winter’s Wrath has also been nerfed:
The maximum duration of the super is now 24 seconds (previously 30 seconds)
The heavy attack (the shockwave) now only affects Guardians who are frozen (only in PvP)
However, the light attack (the 3 ice projectiles) now costs 4.5% super energy (previously 5%)
Stasis Warlocks now have to dress warmer
Bungie further states about the Stasis changes that they are increasingly focusing on separate adjustments for PvE and PvP. Like with the freeze duration, for example. The goal is to only adjust where it hurts.
The Destiny developer further states (via This Week at Bungie), that “when it comes to developing new abilities, we believe that the risk of releasing something too sharp is better than playing it safe and bringing something that doesn’t excite you.” The community’s feedback is being watched very closely.
What do you think about the changes to Stasis? Did Bungie react quickly and adjust the right screws, or are you disappointed and loved Stasis (especially the Warlock) as it was?
Now that the 3rd wave of PS5 orders has (almost) passed, many players are wondering: Will I still be able to get a PS5 somewhere? Maybe in 2020 and at least before Christmas? We summarize the current situation regarding the availability of the PlayStation 5 for you.
On Launch Day, there were no PlayStation 5 consoles available in retail and there won’t be any for the foreseeable future. The reason is the restrictions due to COVID. However, there was at least a chance to buy the PS5 again at some retailers. They offered online ordering opportunities on 19.11.
However, things were just as chaotic here as in the first two waves – if not even more so. In short: Not everyone who wanted to buy a PS5 has been able to get one yet. But what does the current situation look like for those who still want one?
Even in the 3rd wave, there was a lot of frustration and anger alongside joy
This is the current situation regarding PS5 availability: Currently, the PlayStation 5 is completely sold out again.
In addition, there are again reports of subsequent cancellations after the 3rd wave – for example at Otto. Even if you were able to secure a copy on November 19, the PS5 you thought was secured could still be taken away from you – apparently due to technical problems.
Medimax may still be the last KNOWN chance for many:
Update 20.11., 9:30 AM: The situation at Medimax seems to have already been resolved.
We at MeinMMO called Medimax again and asked whether the sale was already over or if it was still worth waiting. The response is likely to disappoint many who have been waiting.
The employee was not 100% sure, but said that some had already gotten through and that it basically isn’t worth waiting on their site anymore, which is still struggling with technical issues.
However, while others managed to get their offers running throughout November 19, Medimax is still struggling with technical problems even now, on November 20. As of now (20.11., 7:30 AM) we have not been able to find reports of successful purchases at Medimax.
When contacted by phone, Medimax’s customer service explained on the afternoon of November 19 that they were experiencing technical issues with their servers and were working hard to resolve them. They advised to keep trying on their site. However, so far, apparently no one has had success. The PS5 stock there is likely still available.
There are also no updates from Medimax on Facebook regarding the current situation. Since November 19, it has been stated there: They cannot say when exactly the site will be live again.
It may still be worth keeping a close eye on Medimax’s site today. You can find it here: Order PS5 from Medimax
Will there be more stock at Amazon? The online giant’s new stock was sold out in no time on November 19. However, many desperate customers contacted customer service and support, and some were advised: Check back in the coming days and weeks – there may be more available.
Whether that is true, many doubt. Because often one had the impression that one was dealing with poorly trained staff who also made contradictory statements – this is the general sentiment. So we will have to see what these support claims actually amount to in the end.
Here is an excerpt from the support chat with an Amazon employee
But if you want to be completely sure, check Amazon regularly over the next few days.
Possible small stock quantities in between: It is also quite possible that, for example, due to cancellations, booking errors, lack of creditworthiness from customers, or smaller restocks, smaller quantities of PS5 may occasionally become available at some retailers in the coming days and weeks. However, there is no guarantee, nor do we know anything more specific about it.
Resellers: There isn’t much to say about this. The trade of the PS5 on eBay is booming, where you could theoretically immediately get the new console. Brazen resellers charge outrageous prices there and on other platforms. Whether anyone really wants to buy there is up to each individual. However, we advise against it.
This is what Sony says: PlayStation head Jim Ryan recently spoke with the BBC about the launch of the PlayStation 5. In the conversation, he also touched upon sales.
“You can be sure that we are really working hard to deliver significant shipments [of the PS5] before and after Christmas.”
No specific times or quantities were mentioned. It is also unclear how the reported efforts to replenish stocks are progressing. But at least there might still be a chance to order a PS5 this year.
But even if – whether you will receive the PlayStation 5 in 2020 is another question. Because already in the 3rd wave, delivery times vary greatly. Some say the newly ordered PS5 will arrive today, on November 20, or on November 21. Others may have to wait until December 16 or even longer.
And even now, some pre-order customers from the 1st and 2nd waves are still waiting for their PS5, although they were supposed to be delivered in time for the launch in Germany on November 19.
Conclusion: In short: Yes, even if Medimax now apparently falls through – there are still chances for a PS5 in 2020, and perhaps even by Christmas. However, more concrete information is still not available.

Update November 19, 6:30 PM: Even if the tweet has been removed, orders at Euronics were already possible. Some MeinMMO readers report successful purchases. Whether the stock is already sold out is currently unknown.
Thank you to MeinMMO user Alex for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 6:20 PM: The tweet has apparently just been deleted by Euronics.
Update November 19, 6:15 PM: Soooo, Euronics is finally starting to take orders! On Twitter, they announced that a limited number of accesses to the shop will now be allowed. First orders have already been placed.
Update November 19, 6:00 PM: Some MeinMMO readers report in the comments that they were able to add the PS5 to their cart at Euronics. However, checkout is still not possible. And the site keeps crashing.
I myself have not even been able to reach the product page – though after today I might have to replace my F5 key…
Update November 19, 5:30 PM: Silence surrounds both remaining retailer sites. Euronics and Medimax are still struggling with server problems. So far, no PS5s have been ordered there today, and when it will finally start there is currently unknown. It appears that we will just have to wait.
Update November 19, 4:45 PM: According to some reports, some users are now also making it to the product page at Euronics. However, the PS5 is still being listed as “Not available” there. Thanks to MeinMMO user Jona Pohlmann for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 4:30 PM: Euronics states the current situation. There is still an available stock of PS5s. It remains exciting what orders will be released.
Update November 19, 4:20 PM: Several users report on MeinMMO that they were advised by Amazon’s support chat to keep an eye on the Amazon site in the coming days if they still want a PS5.
Here’s a chat screenshot kindly shared by MeinMMO reader Rico.
Update November 19, 3:40 PM: When asked by phone, Medimax customer service explained that they are having technical problems with the servers and are working hard to resolve them. You should keep trying on the site. The Euronics product page is still unreachable at this time.
These are currently the last two remaining options.
Update November 19, 3:20 PM: The customer service at Müller has just confirmed by phone that the PS5 is completely sold out there and cannot currently be ordered any longer.
So that leaves only Medimax and Euronics, both of which are still taking their time. At Euronics, it is currently unclear whether orders will still be accepted today. However, they are working hard on it.
Update November 19, 2:32 PM: OK, Amazon appears to have already sold out. Some lucky ones were able to secure a PS5; most are still seeing “Currently not available” displayed. But what about the other retailers?
Medimax is still awaited
Orders at Euronics apparently have not yet started
At Müller, the situation is still unclear. The site is still down
Update November 19, 2:22 PM: It seems to have started. One of the editors at MeinMMO was able to order a PS5 on Amazon just now. At 2:20 PM. The new console is to be delivered between December 14 and 16.
Update November 19, 2:20 PM: Amazon is now showing some movement, at least for me. The display for the PS5 with disc has changed from “Not Available” to “Available at these providers” for me. But selecting a provider and adding the console to the cart is still not possible.
It could start soon. There has been no change regarding the Digital Edition yet.
Update November 19, 2:09 PM: It still says the PS5 orders will go live on Amazon shortly.

Update November 19, 1:50 PM: We from MeinMMO finally got through to the Amazon hotline after a long wait. The lady from customer service stated that the PS5 should indeed be available around 1:00 PM today. However, this is just an approximate time. Furthermore, she explicitly mentioned on inquiry that sales have not yet started.
Also, it is stated on Twitter that the ordering option will still come. However, as of now, nothing has happened.

Update November 19, 1:40 PM: There are some unconfirmed reports that Amazon indicated during a call that orders have already taken place and that stock has already sold out. We from MeinMMO are currently stuck in the queue and hope to bring clarity soon.
Update November 19, 1:35 PM: The Amazon site is now running stable for me, but neither version of the PlayStation 5 is currently available there.
Update November 19, 1:30 PM: At Euronics, orders are still not possible even if one manages to reach the site.
Update November 19, 1:20 PM: On Amazon, both versions of the PS5 are listed as “Not available” for me. It remains unclear whether orders have been possible yet. So far we have not seen any reports about this.
Update November 19, 1:10 PM: Not only Amazon, we are also currently fighting with technical difficulties due to the high demand. We would like to apologize for that. We are working hard on a solution.
Update November 19, 1:06 PM: If you keep landing on the controller page on Amazon, try switching directly to the PS5 page:
Update November 19, 1:03 PM: For the PS5 with disc, it now shows “Currently not available” for me. It is unclear if an order could have been placed yet.
Update November 19, 1:00 PM: Immediately upon trying, the Amazon site has issues – at least for me.
Update November 19, 12:59 PM: It is getting exciting for many now. Orders at Amazon should start soon.
Update November 19, 12:20 PM: It looks like there might still be something going on at Euronics. Some users report that orders there are supposedly set to start according to Euronics itself. So the information about early orders at Euronics seems to have been incorrect.
On their Instagram account, it says: “Orders are actually only possible from this afternoon ?♀️” And additionally, they mentioned: “This afternoon, but we can’t give you a specific time ?”
Update November 19, 12:15 PM: Don’t be surprised if you click on the Amazon links to the PS5 and then land on the controller page. The link is correct, it is an automatic redirect from Amazon. If you search for the PS5 on the platform itself and click on it, you will also be redirected to the DualSense controller. Waiting seems to be the order of the day here.
Update November 19, 11:50 AM: The PS5 might also already be sold out at Müller.
Update November 19, 11:35 AM: At Expert, the PS5 is now also being displayed as sold out. If you can even reach the site. The situation at Medimax and Müller is still uncertain; both sites have been completely overloaded for a considerable time, while Medimax is supposed to start soon. For many, Amazon is likely the last hope for a PS5.
Update November 19, 11:30 AM: Reports are coming in that even after a successful order, no confirmation or even cancellations follow. Technology is likely to again disappoint some people this time around. However, be aware that we cannot currently verify the truthfulness of each of these reports.
Update November 19, 11:20 AM: The delivery time at Expert is currently stated as 1-3 days.
Update November 19, 11:00 AM: Reports are now emerging that previously successful orders at Otto have been canceled afterwards.
Update November 19, 10:52 AM: This is not directly related to today’s ordering wave, but some Amazon pre-order customers are reporting that their delivery dates have changed from today (19th) to November 23rd. Frustrating to learn this on launch day…
Update November 19, 10:45 AM: There are isolated reports that even after a successful purchase and confirmed payment (at Expert), problems arise and the PS5 that was believed to be secured is still taken away – likely due to technical problems. We will keep an eye on this for you.
Update November 19, 10:35 AM: The sites of the “remaining” retailers are currently a mess. Hardly any site is accessible. At Amazon, it appears that sales were supposed to start at 1:00 PM today, but one should really be careful now to see if it actually starts earlier.
Update November 19, 10:15 AM: The PS5 can currently be ordered at Expert, at least if the site cooperates.
Update November 19, 10:10 AM: It seems that you could already order at Müller for a short period of time.
Update November 19, 10:00 AM: The sites of Expert and Euronics are completely down! It seems things are starting there. Expert was the only provider officially mentioning “in the morning” with regard to new ordering possibilities.
Update November 19, 9:50 AM: Consoles were briefly available at Otto, but were sold out within a few minutes.
Update November 19, 9:40 AM: Orders have apparently only been running at GameStop and LIBRO so far. Orders should still be possible today at the other retailers. Good luck to all of you!
Update November 19, 7:50 AM: Previous reports indicate that wherever PS5 orders start, they will be sold out within seconds. You have to be really quick and lucky. The high demand is also making the retailers’ sites crash quickly.
Update November 19, 7:30 AM: There are now reports from Austria mentioning November 15th as a potential delivery date for the 3rd wave. Some have been able to secure a PS5 at LIBRO there and are apparently seeing November 15th as a delivery date. Retailers had already warned in advance that these statements were not set in stone.
By the way, at LIBRO.AT the new stock is also sold out.
Update November 19, 7:20 AM: Reports indicate that Euronics and Otto’s websites were down or hard to reach shortly after midnight. Whether pre-orders had already taken place is currently unclear.
Update November 19, 6:30 AM: You shouldn’t check GameStop today. They presumably started shortly after midnight, and the new stock is already sold out. Let us know how it goes with other retailers, and we will update this!

Update November 19, 6:20 AM: Mediamarkt has apparently already confirmed yesterday that there will be no new ordering possibilities today. They want to secure the orders from the first two waves. You shouldn’t check there.
Original Report:
Release date and price of the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has already been available in the US and several other countries since November 12. For us, November 19 marks the official release and sales launch in Germany and the rest of Europe. Finally, it’s our turn today.
For the PS5 with disc drive, you pay 499.99 euros, while for the purely digital version of the PS5, it is 399.99 euros.
What is the 3rd wave about? The PlayStation 5 could already be pre-ordered in 2 waves. But not everyone who wanted to secure a PS5 was successful. Now, on launch day, several retailers are providing another chance to buy a PS5. They are offering new ordering possibilities today, November 19th.
Keep in mind: The quantities are likely to be extremely limited once again – so there is a rush. And a healthy dose of luck will also be necessary when considering how chaotic the first two waves were.
Additionally, it is important: Even if you can order a PS5 today, you probably won’t receive it until some time after the launch. Because exact delivery times are not specified by the retailers. Only from GameStop there was an official statement: “You will have it in your hands in the following weeks.”
Buy PS5 – Pay special attention to these online retailers: More and more retailers have now announced a new stock for orders on November 19. These include:
Also worth checking with these retailers: MediaMarkt and Saturn have not confirmed any new order possibilities for November 19, but it is possible that you could still grab a PS5 there. It could be worthwhile to take a look now and then.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
When should you check on November 19? Only Amazon has provided a specific time so far. There it is supposed to start at 1:00 PM German time. Expert was more general, stating “in the morning.” For all other confirmed retailers, except for “November 19,” there were no further details regarding the start time of new orders.
To be safe, we recommend checking the shops early and repeatedly. For example, the new order wave at GameStop had already started shortly after midnight. We will also inform you as soon as new orders are available.
And if you know other retailers that are accepting PS5 orders today, please let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
Meanwhile, some buyers are attempting to make a quick profit by reselling their PS5 on the classifieds market on eBay. However, prices there have skyrocketed beyond the normal sale prices:
Update November 19, 6:41 PM: It looks like Medimax is now the only retailer with remaining stock. However, when it will start selling is still unknown. If you want a PS5, keep a close eye on the site.
Update November 19, 6:39 PM: All consoles at Euronics are now sold out!
Update November 19, 6:30 PM: Even if the tweet has been removed, orders at Euronics were already possible. Some MeinMMO readers report successful purchases. Whether the stock is already sold out is currently unknown.
Thank you to MeinMMO user Alex for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 6:20 PM: The tweet has apparently just been deleted by Euronics.
Update November 19, 6:15 PM: Soooo, Euronics is finally starting to take orders! On Twitter, they announced that a limited number of accesses to the shop will now be allowed. First orders have already been placed.
Update November 19, 6:00 PM: Some MeinMMO readers report in the comments that they were able to add the PS5 to their cart at Euronics. However, checkout is still not possible. And the site keeps crashing.
I myself have not even been able to reach the product page – though after today I might have to replace my F5 key…
Update November 19, 5:30 PM: Silence surrounds both remaining retailer sites. Euronics and Medimax are still struggling with server problems. So far, no PS5s have been ordered there today, and when it will finally start there is currently unknown. It appears that we will just have to wait.
Update November 19, 4:45 PM: According to some reports, some users are now also making it to the product page at Euronics. However, the PS5 is still being listed as “Not available” there. Thanks to MeinMMO user Jona Pohlmann for the screenshot.

Update November 19, 7:50 AM: Previous reports indicate that wherever PS5 orders start, they will be sold out within seconds. You have to be really quick and lucky. The high demand is also making the retailers’ sites crash quickly.
Update November 19, 7:30 AM: There are now reports from Austria mentioning November 15th as a potential delivery date for the 3rd wave. Some have been able to secure a PS5 at LIBRO there and are apparently seeing November 15th as a delivery date. Retailers had already warned in advance that these statements were not set in stone.
By the way, at LIBRO.AT the new stock is also sold out.
Update November 19, 7:20 AM: Reports indicate that Euronics and Otto’s websites were down or hard to reach shortly after midnight. Whether pre-orders had already taken place is currently unclear.
Update November 19, 6:30 AM: You shouldn’t check GameStop today. They presumably started shortly after midnight, and the new stock is already sold out. Let us know how it goes with other retailers, and we will update this!

Update November 19, 6:20 AM: Mediamarkt has apparently already confirmed yesterday that there will be no new ordering possibilities today. They want to secure the orders from the first two waves. You shouldn’t check there.
Original Report:
Release date and price of the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has already been available in the US and several other countries since November 12. For us, November 19 marks the official release and sales launch in Germany and the rest of Europe. Finally, it’s our turn today.
For the PS5 with disc drive, you pay 499.99 euros, while for the purely digital version of the PS5, it is 399.99 euros.
What is the 3rd wave about? The PlayStation 5 could already be pre-ordered in 2 waves. But not everyone who wanted to secure a PS5 was successful. Now, on launch day, several retailers are providing another chance to buy a PS5. They are offering new ordering possibilities today, November 19th.
Keep in mind: The quantities are likely to be extremely limited once again – so there is a rush. And a healthy dose of luck will also be necessary when considering how chaotic the first two waves were.
Additionally, it is important: Even if you can order a PS5 today, you probably won’t receive it until some time after the launch. Because exact delivery times are not specified by the retailers. Only from GameStop there was an official statement: “You will have it in your hands in the following weeks.”
Buy PS5 – Pay special attention to these online retailers: More and more retailers have now announced a new stock for orders on November 19. These include:
Also worth checking with these retailers: MediaMarkt and Saturn have not confirmed any new order possibilities for November 19, but it is possible that you could still grab a PS5 there. It could be worthwhile to take a look now and then.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
When should you check on November 19? Only Amazon has provided a specific time so far. There it is supposed to start at 1:00 PM German time. Expert was more general, stating “in the morning.” For all other confirmed retailers, except for “November 19,” there were no further details regarding the start time of new orders.
To be safe, we recommend checking the shops early and repeatedly. For example, the new order wave at GameStop had already started shortly after midnight. We will also inform you as soon as new orders are available.
And if you know other retailers that are accepting PS5 orders today, please let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
Meanwhile, some buyers are attempting to make a quick profit by reselling their PS5 on the classifieds market on eBay. However, prices there have skyrocketed beyond the normal sale prices:
Update November 19, 6:41 PM: It looks like Medimax is now the only retailer with remaining stock. However, when it will start selling is still unknown. If you want a PS5, keep a close eye on the site.
Update November 19, 6:39 PM: All consoles at Euronics are now sold out!
Update November 19, 6:30 PM: Even if the tweet has been removed, orders at Euronics were already possible. Some MeinMMO readers report successful purchases. Whether the stock is already sold out is currently unknown.
Thank you to MeinMMO user Alex for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 6:20 PM: The tweet has apparently just been deleted by Euronics.
Update November 19, 6:15 PM: Soooo, Euronics is finally starting to take orders! On Twitter, they announced that a limited number of accesses to the shop will now be allowed. First orders have already been placed.
Update November 19, 6:00 PM: Some MeinMMO readers report in the comments that they were able to add the PS5 to their cart at Euronics. However, checkout is still not possible. And the site keeps crashing.
I myself have not even been able to reach the product page – though after today I might have to replace my F5 key…
Update November 19, 5:30 PM: Silence surrounds both remaining retailer sites. Euronics and Medimax are still struggling with server problems. So far, no PS5s have been ordered there today, and when it will finally start there is currently unknown. It appears that we will just have to wait.
Update November 19, 4:45 PM: According to some reports, some users are now also making it to the product page at Euronics. However, the PS5 is still being listed as “Not available” there. Thanks to MeinMMO user Jona Pohlmann for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 4:30 PM: Euronics states the current situation. There is still an available stock of PS5s. It remains exciting what orders will be released.
Update November 19, 4:20 PM: Several users report on MeinMMO that they were advised by Amazon’s support chat to keep an eye on the Amazon site in the coming days if they still want a PS5.
Here’s a chat screenshot kindly shared by MeinMMO reader Rico.
Update November 19, 3:40 PM: When asked by phone, Medimax customer service explained that they are having technical problems with the servers and are working hard to resolve them. You should keep trying on the site. The Euronics product page is still unreachable at this time.
These are currently the last two remaining options.
Update November 19, 3:20 PM: The customer service at Müller has just confirmed by phone that the PS5 is completely sold out there and cannot currently be ordered any longer.
So that leaves only Medimax and Euronics, both of which are still taking their time. At Euronics, it is currently unclear whether orders will still be accepted today. However, they are working hard on it.
Update November 19, 2:32 PM: OK, Amazon appears to have already sold out. Some lucky ones were able to secure a PS5; most are still seeing “Currently not available” displayed. But what about the other retailers?
Medimax is still awaited
Orders at Euronics apparently have not yet started
At Müller, the situation is still unclear. The site is still down
Update November 19, 2:22 PM: It seems to have started. One of the editors at MeinMMO was able to order a PS5 on Amazon just now. At 2:20 PM. The new console is to be delivered between December 14 and 16.
Update November 19, 2:20 PM: Amazon is now showing some movement, at least for me. The display for the PS5 with disc has changed from “Not Available” to “Available at these providers” for me. But selecting a provider and adding the console to the cart is still not possible.
It could start soon. There has been no change regarding the Digital Edition yet.
Update November 19, 2:09 PM: It still says the PS5 orders will go live on Amazon shortly.

Update November 19, 1:50 PM: We from MeinMMO finally got through to the Amazon hotline after a long wait. The lady from customer service stated that the PS5 should indeed be available around 1:00 PM today. However, this is just an approximate time. Furthermore, she explicitly mentioned on inquiry that sales have not yet started.
Also, it is stated on Twitter that the ordering option will still come. However, as of now, nothing has happened.

Update November 19, 1:40 PM: There are some unconfirmed reports that Amazon indicated during a call that orders have already taken place and that stock has already sold out. We from MeinMMO are currently stuck in the queue and hope to bring clarity soon.
Update November 19, 1:35 PM: The Amazon site is now running stable for me, but neither version of the PlayStation 5 is currently available there.
Update November 19, 1:30 PM: At Euronics, orders are still not possible even if one manages to reach the site.
Update November 19, 1:20 PM: On Amazon, both versions of the PS5 are listed as “Not available” for me. It remains unclear whether orders have been possible yet. So far we have not seen any reports about this.
Update November 19, 1:10 PM: Not only Amazon, we are also currently fighting with technical difficulties due to the high demand. We would like to apologize for that. We are working hard on a solution.
Update November 19, 1:06 PM: If you keep landing on the controller page on Amazon, try switching directly to the PS5 page:
Update November 19, 1:03 PM: For the PS5 with disc, it now shows “Currently not available” for me. It is unclear if an order could have been placed yet.
Update November 19, 1:00 PM: Immediately upon trying, the Amazon site has issues – at least for me.
Update November 19, 12:59 PM: It is getting exciting for many now. Orders at Amazon should start soon.
Update November 19, 12:20 PM: It looks like there might still be something going on at Euronics. Some users report that orders there are supposedly set to start according to Euronics itself. So the information about early orders at Euronics seems to have been incorrect.
On their Instagram account, it says: “Orders are actually only possible from this afternoon ?♀️” And additionally, they mentioned: “This afternoon, but we can’t give you a specific time ?”
Update November 19, 12:15 PM: Don’t be surprised if you click on the Amazon links to the PS5 and then land on the controller page. The link is correct, it is an automatic redirect from Amazon. If you search for the PS5 on the platform itself and click on it, you will also be redirected to the DualSense controller. Waiting seems to be the order of the day here.
Update November 19, 11:50 AM: The PS5 might also already be sold out at Müller.
Update November 19, 11:35 AM: At Expert, the PS5 is now also being displayed as sold out. If you can even reach the site. The situation at Medimax and Müller is still uncertain; both sites have been completely overloaded for a considerable time, while Medimax is supposed to start soon. For many, Amazon is likely the last hope for a PS5.
Update November 19, 11:30 AM: Reports are coming in that even after a successful order, no confirmation or even cancellations follow. Technology is likely to again disappoint some people this time around. However, be aware that we cannot currently verify the truthfulness of each of these reports.
Update November 19, 11:20 AM: The delivery time at Expert is currently stated as 1-3 days.
Update November 19, 11:00 AM: Reports are now emerging that previously successful orders at Otto have been canceled afterwards.
Update November 19, 10:52 AM: This is not directly related to today’s ordering wave, but some Amazon pre-order customers are reporting that their delivery dates have changed from today (19th) to November 23rd. Frustrating to learn this on launch day…
Update November 19, 10:45 AM: There are isolated reports that even after a successful purchase and confirmed payment (at Expert), problems arise and the PS5 that was believed to be secured is still taken away – likely due to technical problems. We will keep an eye on this for you.
Update November 19, 10:35 AM: The sites of the “remaining” retailers are currently a mess. Hardly any site is accessible. At Amazon, it appears that sales were supposed to start at 1:00 PM today, but one should really be careful now to see if it actually starts earlier.
Update November 19, 10:15 AM: The PS5 can currently be ordered at Expert, at least if the site cooperates.
Update November 19, 10:10 AM: It seems that you could already order at Müller for a short period of time.
Update November 19, 10:00 AM: The sites of Expert and Euronics are completely down! It seems things are starting there. Expert was the only provider officially mentioning “in the morning” with regard to new ordering possibilities.
Update November 19, 9:50 AM: Consoles were briefly available at Otto, but were sold out within a few minutes.
Update November 19, 9:40 AM: Orders have apparently only been running at GameStop and LIBRO so far. Orders should still be possible today at the other retailers. Good luck to all of you!
Update November 19, 7:50 AM: Previous reports indicate that wherever PS5 orders start, they will be sold out within seconds. You have to be really quick and lucky. The high demand is also making the retailers’ sites crash quickly.

Update November 19, 4:45 PM: According to some reports, some users are now also making it to the product page at Euronics. However, the PS5 is still being listed as “Not available” there. Thanks to MeinMMO user Jona Pohlmann for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 4:30 PM: Euronics states the current situation. There is still an available stock of PS5s. It remains exciting what orders will be released.
Update November 19, 4:20 PM: Several users report on MeinMMO that they were advised by Amazon’s support chat to keep an eye on the Amazon site in the coming days if they still want a PS5.
Here’s a chat screenshot kindly shared by MeinMMO reader Rico.
Update November 19, 3:40 PM: When asked by phone, Medimax customer service explained that they are having technical problems with the servers and are working hard to resolve them. You should keep trying on the site. The Euronics product page is still unreachable at this time.
These are currently the last two remaining options.
Update November 19, 3:20 PM: The customer service at Müller has just confirmed by phone that the PS5 is completely sold out there and cannot currently be ordered any longer.
So that leaves only Medimax and Euronics, both of which are still taking their time. At Euronics, it is currently unclear whether orders will still be accepted today. However, they are working hard on it.
Update November 19, 2:32 PM: OK, Amazon appears to have already sold out. Some lucky ones were able to secure a PS5; most are still seeing “Currently not available” displayed. But what about the other retailers?
Medimax is still awaited
Orders at Euronics apparently have not yet started
At Müller, the situation is still unclear. The site is still down
Update November 19, 2:22 PM: It seems to have started. One of the editors at MeinMMO was able to order a PS5 on Amazon just now. At 2:20 PM. The new console is to be delivered between December 14 and 16.
Update November 19, 2:20 PM: Amazon is now showing some movement, at least for me. The display for the PS5 with disc has changed from “Not Available” to “Available at these providers” for me. But selecting a provider and adding the console to the cart is still not possible.
It could start soon. There has been no change regarding the Digital Edition yet.
Update November 19, 2:09 PM: It still says the PS5 orders will go live on Amazon shortly.

Update November 19, 1:50 PM: We from MeinMMO finally got through to the Amazon hotline after a long wait. The lady from customer service stated that the PS5 should indeed be available around 1:00 PM today. However, this is just an approximate time. Furthermore, she explicitly mentioned on inquiry that sales have not yet started.
Also, it is stated on Twitter that the ordering option will still come. However, as of now, nothing has happened.

Update November 19, 1:40 PM: There are some unconfirmed reports that Amazon indicated during a call that orders have already taken place and that stock has already sold out. We from MeinMMO are currently stuck in the queue and hope to bring clarity soon.
Update November 19, 1:35 PM: The Amazon site is now running stable for me, but neither version of the PlayStation 5 is currently available there.
Update November 19, 1:30 PM: At Euronics, orders are still not possible even if one manages to reach the site.
Update November 19, 1:20 PM: On Amazon, both versions of the PS5 are listed as “Not available” for me. It remains unclear whether orders have been possible yet. So far we have not seen any reports about this.
Update November 19, 1:10 PM: Not only Amazon, we are also currently fighting with technical difficulties due to the high demand. We would like to apologize for that. We are working hard on a solution.
Update November 19, 1:06 PM: If you keep landing on the controller page on Amazon, try switching directly to the PS5 page:
Update November 19, 1:03 PM: For the PS5 with disc, it now shows “Currently not available” for me. It is unclear if an order could have been placed yet.
Update November 19, 1:00 PM: Immediately upon trying, the Amazon site has issues – at least for me.
Update November 19, 12:59 PM: It is getting exciting for many now. Orders at Amazon should start soon.
Update November 19, 12:20 PM: It looks like there might still be something going on at Euronics. Some users report that orders there are supposedly set to start according to Euronics itself. So the information about early orders at Euronics seems to have been incorrect.
On their Instagram account, it says: “Orders are actually only possible from this afternoon ?♀️” And additionally, they mentioned: “This afternoon, but we can’t give you a specific time ?”
Update November 19, 12:15 PM: Don’t be surprised if you click on the Amazon links to the PS5 and then land on the controller page. The link is correct, it is an automatic redirect from Amazon. If you search for the PS5 on the platform itself and click on it, you will also be redirected to the DualSense controller. Waiting seems to be the order of the day here.
Update November 19, 11:50 AM: The PS5 might also already be sold out at Müller.
Update November 19, 11:35 AM: At Expert, the PS5 is now also being displayed as sold out. If you can even reach the site. The situation at Medimax and Müller is still uncertain; both sites have been completely overloaded for a considerable time, while Medimax is supposed to start soon. For many, Amazon is likely the last hope for a PS5.
Update November 19, 11:30 AM: Reports are coming in that even after a successful order, no confirmation or even cancellations follow. Technology is likely to again disappoint some people this time around. However, be aware that we cannot currently verify the truthfulness of each of these reports.
Update November 19, 11:20 AM: The delivery time at Expert is currently stated as 1-3 days.
Update November 19, 11:00 AM: Reports are now emerging that previously successful orders at Otto have been canceled afterwards.
Update November 19, 10:52 AM: This is not directly related to today’s ordering wave, but some Amazon pre-order customers are reporting that their delivery dates have changed from today (19th) to November 23rd. Frustrating to learn this on launch day…
Update November 19, 10:45 AM: There are isolated reports that even after a successful purchase and confirmed payment (at Expert), problems arise and the PS5 that was believed to be secured is still taken away – likely due to technical problems. We will keep an eye on this for you.
Update November 19, 10:35 AM: The sites of the “remaining” retailers are currently a mess. Hardly any site is accessible. At Amazon, it appears that sales were supposed to start at 1:00 PM today, but one should really be careful now to see if it actually starts earlier.
Update November 19, 10:15 AM: The PS5 can currently be ordered at Expert, at least if the site cooperates.
Update November 19, 10:10 AM: It seems that you could already order at Müller for a short period of time.
Update November 19, 10:00 AM: The sites of Expert and Euronics are completely down! It seems things are starting there. Expert was the only provider officially mentioning “in the morning” with regard to new ordering possibilities.
Update November 19, 9:50 AM: Consoles were briefly available at Otto, but were sold out within a few minutes.
Update November 19, 9:40 AM: Orders have apparently only been running at GameStop and LIBRO so far. Orders should still be possible today at the other retailers. Good luck to all of you!
Update November 19, 7:50 AM: Previous reports indicate that wherever PS5 orders start, they will be sold out within seconds. You have to be really quick and lucky. The high demand is also making the retailers’ sites crash quickly.
Update November 19, 7:30 AM: There are now reports from Austria mentioning November 15th as a potential delivery date for the 3rd wave. Some have been able to secure a PS5 at LIBRO there and are apparently seeing November 15th as a delivery date. Retailers had already warned in advance that these statements were not set in stone.
By the way, at LIBRO.AT the new stock is also sold out.
Update November 19, 7:20 AM: Reports indicate that Euronics and Otto’s websites were down or hard to reach shortly after midnight. Whether pre-orders had already taken place is currently unclear.
Update November 19, 6:30 AM: You shouldn’t check GameStop today. They presumably started shortly after midnight, and the new stock is already sold out. Let us know how it goes with other retailers, and we will update this!

Update November 19, 6:20 AM: Mediamarkt has apparently already confirmed yesterday that there will be no new ordering possibilities today. They want to secure the orders from the first two waves. You shouldn’t check there.
Original Report:
Release date and price of the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has already been available in the US and several other countries since November 12. For us, November 19 marks the official release and sales launch in Germany and the rest of Europe. Finally, it’s our turn today.
For the PS5 with disc drive, you pay 499.99 euros, while for the purely digital version of the PS5, it is 399.99 euros.
What is the 3rd wave about? The PlayStation 5 could already be pre-ordered in 2 waves. But not everyone who wanted to secure a PS5 was successful. Now, on launch day, several retailers are providing another chance to buy a PS5. They are offering new ordering possibilities today, November 19th.
Keep in mind: The quantities are likely to be extremely limited once again – so there is a rush. And a healthy dose of luck will also be necessary when considering how chaotic the first two waves were.
Additionally, it is important: Even if you can order a PS5 today, you probably won’t receive it until some time after the launch. Because exact delivery times are not specified by the retailers. Only from GameStop there was an official statement: “You will have it in your hands in the following weeks.”
Buy PS5 – Pay special attention to these online retailers: More and more retailers have now announced a new stock for orders on November 19. These include:
Also worth checking with these retailers: MediaMarkt and Saturn have not confirmed any new order possibilities for November 19, but it is possible that you could still grab a PS5 there. It could be worthwhile to take a look now and then.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
When should you check on November 19? Only Amazon has provided a specific time so far. There it is supposed to start at 1:00 PM German time. Expert was more general, stating “in the morning.” For all other confirmed retailers, except for “November 19,” there were no further details regarding the start time of new orders.
To be safe, we recommend checking the shops early and repeatedly. For example, the new order wave at GameStop had already started shortly after midnight. We will also inform you as soon as new orders are available.
And if you know other retailers that are accepting PS5 orders today, please let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
So that leaves only Medimax and Euronics, both of which are still taking their time. At Euronics, it is currently unclear whether orders will still be accepted today. However, they are working hard on it.

Thank you to MeinMMO user Alex for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 6:20 PM: The tweet has apparently just been deleted by Euronics.
Update November 19, 6:15 PM: Soooo, Euronics is finally starting to take orders! On Twitter, they announced that a limited number of accesses to the shop will now be allowed. First orders have already been placed.

Update November 19, 7:50 AM: Previous reports indicate that wherever PS5 orders start, they will be sold out within seconds. You have to be really quick and lucky. The high demand is also making the retailers’ sites crash quickly.
Update November 19, 7:30 AM: There are now reports from Austria mentioning November 15th as a potential delivery date for the 3rd wave. Some have been able to secure a PS5 at LIBRO there and are apparently seeing November 15th as a delivery date. Retailers had already warned in advance that these statements were not set in stone.
By the way, at LIBRO.AT the new stock is also sold out.
Update November 19, 7:20 AM: Reports indicate that Euronics and Otto’s websites were down or hard to reach shortly after midnight. Whether pre-orders had already taken place is currently unclear.
Update November 19, 6:30 AM: You shouldn’t check GameStop today. They presumably started shortly after midnight, and the new stock is already sold out. Let us know how it goes with other retailers, and we will update this!

Update November 19, 6:20 AM: Mediamarkt has apparently already confirmed yesterday that there will be no new ordering possibilities today. They want to secure the orders from the first two waves. You shouldn’t check there.
Original Report:
Release date and price of the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has already been available in the US and several other countries since November 12. For us, November 19 marks the official release and sales launch in Germany and the rest of Europe. Finally, it’s our turn today.
For the PS5 with disc drive, you pay 499.99 euros, while for the purely digital version of the PS5, it is 399.99 euros.
What is the 3rd wave about? The PlayStation 5 could already be pre-ordered in 2 waves. But not everyone who wanted to secure a PS5 was successful. Now, on launch day, several retailers are providing another chance to buy a PS5. They are offering new ordering possibilities today, November 19th.
Keep in mind: The quantities are likely to be extremely limited once again – so there is a rush. And a healthy dose of luck will also be necessary when considering how chaotic the first two waves were.
Additionally, it is important: Even if you can order a PS5 today, you probably won’t receive it until some time after the launch. Because exact delivery times are not specified by the retailers. Only from GameStop there was an official statement: “You will have it in your hands in the following weeks.”
Buy PS5 – Pay special attention to these online retailers: More and more retailers have now announced a new stock for orders on November 19. These include:
Also worth checking with these retailers: MediaMarkt and Saturn have not confirmed any new order possibilities for November 19, but it is possible that you could still grab a PS5 there. It could be worthwhile to take a look now and then.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
When should you check on November 19? Only Amazon has provided a specific time so far. There it is supposed to start at 1:00 PM German time. Expert was more general, stating “in the morning.” For all other confirmed retailers, except for “November 19,” there were no further details regarding the start time of new orders.
To be safe, we recommend checking the shops early and repeatedly. For example, the new order wave at GameStop had already started shortly after midnight. We will also inform you as soon as new orders are available.
And if you know other retailers that are accepting PS5 orders today, please let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
Meanwhile, some buyers are attempting to make a quick profit by reselling their PS5 on the classifieds market on eBay. However, prices there have skyrocketed beyond the normal sale prices:
Update November 19, 6:41 PM: It looks like Medimax is now the only retailer with remaining stock. However, when it will start selling is still unknown. If you want a PS5, keep a close eye on the site.
Update November 19, 6:39 PM: All consoles at Euronics are now sold out!
Update November 19, 6:30 PM: Even if the tweet has been removed, orders at Euronics were already possible. Some MeinMMO readers report successful purchases. Whether the stock is already sold out is currently unknown.
Thank you to MeinMMO user Alex for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 6:20 PM: The tweet has apparently just been deleted by Euronics.
Update November 19, 6:15 PM: Soooo, Euronics is finally starting to take orders! On Twitter, they announced that a limited number of accesses to the shop will now be allowed. First orders have already been placed.
Update November 19, 6:00 PM: Some MeinMMO readers report in the comments that they were able to add the PS5 to their cart at Euronics. However, checkout is still not possible. And the site keeps crashing.
I myself have not even been able to reach the product page – though after today I might have to replace my F5 key…
Update November 19, 5:30 PM: Silence surrounds both remaining retailer sites. Euronics and Medimax are still struggling with server problems. So far, no PS5s have been ordered there today, and when it will finally start there is currently unknown. It appears that we will just have to wait.
Update November 19, 4:45 PM: According to some reports, some users are now also making it to the product page at Euronics. However, the PS5 is still being listed as “Not available” there. Thanks to MeinMMO user Jona Pohlmann for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 4:30 PM: Euronics states the current situation. There is still an available stock of PS5s. It remains exciting what orders will be released.
Update November 19, 4:20 PM: Several users report on MeinMMO that they were advised by Amazon’s support chat to keep an eye on the Amazon site in the coming days if they still want a PS5.
Here’s a chat screenshot kindly shared by MeinMMO reader Rico.
Update November 19, 3:40 PM: When asked by phone, Medimax customer service explained that they are having technical problems with the servers and are working hard to resolve them. You should keep trying on the site. The Euronics product page is still unreachable at this time.
These are currently the last two remaining options.
Update November 19, 3:20 PM: The customer service at Müller has just confirmed by phone that the PS5 is completely sold out there and cannot currently be ordered any longer.
So that leaves only Medimax and Euronics, both of which are still taking their time. At Euronics, it is currently unclear whether orders will still be accepted today. However, they are working hard on it.
Update November 19, 2:32 PM: OK, Amazon appears to have already sold out. Some lucky ones were able to secure a PS5; most are still seeing “Currently not available” displayed. But what about the other retailers?
Medimax is still awaited
Orders at Euronics apparently have not yet started
At Müller, the situation is still unclear. The site is still down
Update November 19, 2:22 PM: It seems to have started. One of the editors at MeinMMO was able to order a PS5 on Amazon just now. At 2:20 PM. The new console is to be delivered between December 14 and 16.
Update November 19, 2:20 PM: Amazon is now showing some movement, at least for me. The display for the PS5 with disc has changed from “Not Available” to “Available at these providers” for me. But selecting a provider and adding the console to the cart is still not possible.
It could start soon. There has been no change regarding the Digital Edition yet.
Update November 19, 2:09 PM: It still says the PS5 orders will go live on Amazon shortly.

Update November 19, 1:50 PM: We from MeinMMO finally got through to the Amazon hotline after a long wait. The lady from customer service stated that the PS5 should indeed be available around 1:00 PM today. However, this is just an approximate time. Furthermore, she explicitly mentioned on inquiry that sales have not yet started.
Also, it is stated on Twitter that the ordering option will still come. However, as of now, nothing has happened.

Update November 19, 1:40 PM: There are some unconfirmed reports that Amazon indicated during a call that orders have already taken place and that stock has already sold out. We from MeinMMO are currently stuck in the queue and hope to bring clarity soon.
Update November 19, 1:35 PM: The Amazon site is now running stable for me, but neither version of the PlayStation 5 is currently available there.
Update November 19, 1:30 PM: At Euronics, orders are still not possible even if one manages to reach the site.
Update November 19, 1:20 PM: On Amazon, both versions of the PS5 are listed as “Not available” for me. It remains unclear whether orders have been possible yet. So far we have not seen any reports about this.
Update November 19, 1:10 PM: Not only Amazon, we are also currently fighting with technical difficulties due to the high demand. We would like to apologize for that. We are working hard on a solution.
Update November 19, 1:06 PM: If you keep landing on the controller page on Amazon, try switching directly to the PS5 page:
Update November 19, 1:03 PM: For the PS5 with disc, it now shows “Currently not available” for me. It is unclear if an order could have been placed yet.
Update November 19, 1:00 PM: Immediately upon trying, the Amazon site has issues – at least for me.
Update November 19, 12:59 PM: It is getting exciting for many now. Orders at Amazon should start soon.
Update November 19, 12:20 PM: It looks like there might still be something going on at Euronics. Some users report that orders there are supposedly set to start according to Euronics itself. So the information about early orders at Euronics seems to have been incorrect.
On their Instagram account, it says: “Orders are actually only possible from this afternoon ?♀️” And additionally, they mentioned: “This afternoon, but we can’t give you a specific time ?”
Update November 19, 12:15 PM: Don’t be surprised if you click on the Amazon links to the PS5 and then land on the controller page. The link is correct, it is an automatic redirect from Amazon. If you search for the PS5 on the platform itself and click on it, you will also be redirected to the DualSense controller. Waiting seems to be the order of the day here.
Update November 19, 11:50 AM: The PS5 might also already be sold out at Müller.
Update November 19, 11:35 AM: At Expert, the PS5 is now also being displayed as sold out. If you can even reach the site. The situation at Medimax and Müller is still uncertain; both sites have been completely overloaded for a considerable time, while Medimax is supposed to start soon. For many, Amazon is likely the last hope for a PS5.
Update November 19, 11:30 AM: Reports are coming in that even after a successful order, no confirmation or even cancellations follow. Technology is likely to again disappoint some people this time around. However, be aware that we cannot currently verify the truthfulness of each of these reports.
Update November 19, 11:20 AM: The delivery time at Expert is currently stated as 1-3 days.
Update November 19, 11:00 AM: Reports are now emerging that previously successful orders at Otto have been canceled afterwards.
Update November 19, 10:52 AM: This is not directly related to today’s ordering wave, but some Amazon pre-order customers are reporting that their delivery dates have changed from today (19th) to November 23rd. Frustrating to learn this on launch day…
Update November 19, 10:45 AM: There are isolated reports that even after a successful purchase and confirmed payment (at Expert), problems arise and the PS5 that was believed to be secured is still taken away – likely due to technical problems. We will keep an eye on this for you.
Update November 19, 10:35 AM: The sites of the “remaining” retailers are currently a mess. Hardly any site is accessible. At Amazon, it appears that sales were supposed to start at 1:00 PM today, but one should really be careful now to see if it actually starts earlier.
Update November 19, 10:15 AM: The PS5 can currently be ordered at Expert, at least if the site cooperates.
Update November 19, 10:10 AM: It seems that you could already order at Müller for a short period of time.
Update November 19, 10:00 AM: The sites of Expert and Euronics are completely down! It seems things are starting there. Expert was the only provider officially mentioning “in the morning” with regard to new ordering possibilities.
Update November 19, 9:50 AM: Consoles were briefly available at Otto, but were sold out within a few minutes.
Update November 19, 9:40 AM: Orders have apparently only been running at GameStop and LIBRO so far. Orders should still be possible today at the other retailers. Good luck to all of you!
Update November 19, 7:50 AM: Previous reports indicate that wherever PS5 orders start, they will be sold out within seconds. You have to be really quick and lucky. The high demand is also making the retailers’ sites crash quickly.
Update November 19, 7:30 AM: There are now reports from Austria mentioning November 15th as a potential delivery date for the 3rd wave. Some have been able to secure a PS5 at LIBRO there and are apparently seeing November 15th as a delivery date. Retailers had already warned in advance that these statements were not set in stone.

And if you know other retailers that are accepting PS5 orders today, please let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
Where can you buy the PS5? Which retailer can you still or again order the PS5 on November 19th? These questions are likely to be of great interest to many players and buyers on the day of the PlayStation 5 release. Here on MeinMMO, we will keep you updated on the progression of wave 3.
Update November 20, 12:35 PM: So, it is now official. Medimax has just announced on Facebook that the PS5 is sold out there:
Dear MEDIMAX fans,
Unfortunately, the PS5 consoles are sold out. Of course, we understand your frustration, but we have tried to make the sale as fair as possible. If you could not reserve a console, please continue to follow our Facebook page for the latest updates.
We apologize and sincerely thank you for your understanding!
Update November 20, 12:15 PM: It looks like you can still order at Müller – since just before 12:00 PM. Some MeinMMO users are currently posting screenshots of successful purchases. Originally, the stock according to Müller was already sold out. The main page also states “The PS5 is currently unfortunately not available for order.”
It is unclear how large this spontaneous stock is and whether it is already over.
Update November 20, 11:30 AM: Currently, different alleged statements from Medimax employees are circulating – even here in the comments on MeinMMO. Some users want to have heard that sales were supposed to start at Medimax today around 3:00 PM. Others have heard that this has already happened. Still, others report that not a single console has been sold yet, Medimax only had a sales permit for yesterday and is now trying to clarify with Sony whether it still applies for today.
In short: There is chaos surrounding Medimax. As of now, there is no official general statement from the company on social media or on the site itself. If you want, you can keep an eye on the Medimax page, but we cannot conclusively tell you at this time whether it is worth it. Because we cannot verify all the info for its truthfulness.
However, it was said to MeinMMO this morning from Medimax that it is probably not worth waiting for the site.
Update November 20, 9:30 AM: We from MeinMMO have called Medimax again and asked whether the sale has already happened or if it is still worth waiting. And the answer is likely to disappoint many who have been waiting.
The employee was not 100% sure but mentioned that some have already managed to get through and it probably is not worth waiting on the site, which is still struggling with technical issues.
Thus, it seems that the last retailer will also fall away.
Update November 20, 6:00 AM: Nothing has changed at Medimax. The site is still almost constantly unreachable. Whether orders were possible is not clear, according to the current status, but we have not found any reports about it.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
Update November 20, 12:05 AM: Also shortly after midnight, there are still no new updates regarding when more PS5 stocks will be available.
The online site of Medimax seems to be the last hope for many buyers right now. But the website is showing a constant error message. There is no indication of when the site will be operational again.
On the Facebook page of the provider, several users say they were able to access the site briefly at around 9:10 PM but could not buy a PlayStation 5.
We from MeinMMO wish every buyer good luck in their hunt; we will soon report back with the current status of the availability of a PlayStation 5 in Germany. As was the case with the pre-order wave, it seems the launch day also has: There is chaos; the PS5 is the new toilet paper.
Update November 19, 9:15 PM: From Medimax, it is said via a Facebook post that appeared at 6 PM:
The servers have been overloaded since this morning
This is due to the overwhelming interest and a “Severe attack on the infrastructure”
When the site will be live again has not yet been specified
Medimax will not currently answer any further questions about the PlayStation 5
Update November 19, 8:32 PM: At Medimax, the message continues: Due to the high demand for the PlayStation 5, the website is not reachable. They are trying to get back online as soon as possible. A frustrating experience for many PS5 buyers who have been trying to score a console since this morning.
Also, it is stated on Twitter that the ordering option will still come. However, as of now, nothing has happened.

Furthermore, she explicitly mentioned on inquiry that sales have not yet started.
Also, it is stated on Twitter that the ordering option will still come. However, as of now, nothing has happened.

Update November 19, 1:40 PM: There are some unconfirmed reports that Amazon indicated during a call that orders have already taken place and that stock has already sold out. We from MeinMMO are currently stuck in the queue and hope to bring clarity soon.
Update November 19, 1:35 PM: The Amazon site is now running stable for me, but neither version of the PlayStation 5 is currently available there.
Update November 19, 1:30 PM: At Euronics, orders are still not possible even if one manages to reach the site.
Update November 19, 1:20 PM: On Amazon, both versions of the PS5 are listed as “Not available” for me. It remains unclear whether orders have been possible yet. So far we have not seen any reports about this.
Update November 19, 1:10 PM: Not only Amazon, we are also currently fighting with technical difficulties due to the high demand. We would like to apologize for that. We are working hard on a solution.
Update November 19, 1:06 PM: If you keep landing on the controller page on Amazon, try switching directly to the PS5 page:
Update November 19, 1:03 PM: For the PS5 with disc, it now shows “Currently not available” for me. It is unclear if an order could have been placed yet.
Update November 19, 1:00 PM: Immediately upon trying, the Amazon site has issues – at least for me.
Update November 19, 12:59 PM: It is getting exciting for many now. Orders at Amazon should start soon.
Update November 19, 12:20 PM: It looks like there might still be something going on at Euronics. Some users report that orders there are supposedly set to start according to Euronics itself. So the information about early orders at Euronics seems to have been incorrect.
On their Instagram account, it says: “Orders are actually only possible from this afternoon ?♀️” And additionally, they mentioned: “This afternoon, but we can’t give you a specific time ?”
Update November 19, 12:15 PM: Don’t be surprised if you click on the Amazon links to the PS5 and then land on the controller page. The link is correct, it is an automatic redirect from Amazon. If you search for the PS5 on the platform itself and click on it, you will also be redirected to the DualSense controller. Waiting seems to be the order of the day here.
Update November 19, 11:50 AM: The PS5 might also already be sold out at Müller.
Update November 19, 11:35 AM: At Expert, the PS5 is now also being displayed as sold out. If you can even reach the site. The situation at Medimax and Müller is still uncertain; both sites have been completely overloaded for a considerable time, while Medimax is supposed to start soon. For many, Amazon is likely the last hope for a PS5.
Update November 19, 11:30 AM: Reports are coming in that even after a successful order, no confirmation or even cancellations follow. Technology is likely to again disappoint some people this time around. However, be aware that we cannot currently verify the truthfulness of each of these reports.
Update November 19, 11:20 AM: The delivery time at Expert is currently stated as 1-3 days.
Update November 19, 11:00 AM: Reports are now emerging that previously successful orders at Otto have been canceled afterwards.
Update November 19, 10:52 AM: This is not directly related to today’s ordering wave, but some Amazon pre-order customers are reporting that their delivery dates have changed from today (19th) to November 23rd. Frustrating to learn this on launch day…
Update November 19, 10:45 AM: There are isolated reports that even after a successful purchase and confirmed payment (at Expert), problems arise and the PS5 that was believed to be secured is still taken away – likely due to technical problems. We will keep an eye on this for you.
Update November 19, 10:35 AM: The sites of the “remaining” retailers are currently a mess. Hardly any site is accessible. At Amazon, it appears that sales were supposed to start at 1:00 PM today, but one should really be careful now to see if it actually starts earlier.
Update November 19, 10:15 AM: The PS5 can currently be ordered at Expert, at least if the site cooperates.
Update November 19, 10:10 AM: It seems that you could already order at Müller for a short period of time.
Update November 19, 10:00 AM: The sites of Expert and Euronics are completely down! It seems things are starting there. Expert was the only provider officially mentioning “in the morning” with regard to new ordering possibilities.
Update November 19, 9:50 AM: Consoles were briefly available at Otto, but were sold out within a few minutes.
Update November 19, 9:40 AM: Orders have apparently only been running at GameStop and LIBRO so far. Orders should still be possible today at the other retailers. Good luck to all of you!
Update November 19, 7:50 AM: Previous reports indicate that wherever PS5 orders start, they will be sold out within seconds. You have to be really quick and lucky. The high demand is also making the retailers’ sites crash quickly.
Update November 19, 7:30 AM: There are now reports from Austria mentioning November 15th as a potential delivery date for the 3rd wave. Some have been able to secure a PS5 at LIBRO there and are apparently seeing November 15th as a delivery date. Retailers had already warned in advance that these statements were not set in stone.
By the way, at LIBRO.AT the new stock is also sold out.
Update November 19, 7:20 AM: Reports indicate that Euronics and Otto’s websites were down or hard to reach shortly after midnight. Whether pre-orders had already taken place is currently unclear.
Update November 19, 6:30 AM: You shouldn’t check GameStop today. They presumably started shortly after midnight, and the new stock is already sold out. Let us know how it goes with other retailers, and we will update this!

Update November 19, 6:20 AM: Mediamarkt has apparently already confirmed yesterday that there will be no new ordering possibilities today. They want to secure the orders from the first two waves. You shouldn’t check there.
Original Report:
Release date and price of the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has already been available in the US and several other countries since November 12. For us, November 19 marks the official release and sales launch in Germany and the rest of Europe. Finally, it’s our turn today.
For the PS5 with disc drive, you pay 499.99 euros, while for the purely digital version of the PS5, it is 399.99 euros.
What is the 3rd wave about? The PlayStation 5 could already be pre-ordered in 2 waves. But not everyone who wanted to secure a PS5 was successful. Now, on launch day, several retailers are providing another chance to buy a PS5. They are offering new ordering possibilities today, November 19th.
Keep in mind: The quantities are likely to be extremely limited once again – so there is a rush. And a healthy dose of luck will also be necessary when considering how chaotic the first two waves were.
Additionally, it is important: Even if you can order a PS5 today, you probably won’t receive it until some time after the launch. Because exact delivery times are not specified by the retailers. Only from GameStop there was an official statement: “You will have it in your hands in the following weeks.”
Buy PS5 – Pay special attention to these online retailers: More and more retailers have now announced a new stock for orders on November 19. These include:
Also worth checking with these retailers: MediaMarkt and Saturn have not confirmed any new order possibilities for November 19, but it is possible that you could still grab a PS5 there. It could be worthwhile to take a look now and then.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
When should you check on November 19? Only Amazon has provided a specific time so far. There it is supposed to start at 1:00 PM German time. Expert was more general, stating “in the morning.” For all other confirmed retailers, except for “November 19,” there were no further details regarding the start time of new orders.
To be safe, we recommend checking the shops early and repeatedly. For example, the new order wave at GameStop had already started shortly after midnight. We will also inform you as soon as new orders are available.
And if you know other retailers that are accepting PS5 orders today, please let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
Update November 19, 6:39 PM: All consoles at Euronics are now sold out!
Update November 19, 6:30 PM: Even if the tweet has been removed, orders at Euronics were already possible. Some MeinMMO readers report successful purchases. Whether the stock is already sold out is currently unknown.
Thank you to MeinMMO user Alex for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 6:20 PM: The tweet has apparently just been deleted by Euronics.
Update November 19, 6:15 PM: Soooo, Euronics is finally starting to take orders! On Twitter, they announced that a limited number of accesses to the shop will now be allowed. First orders have already been placed.
Update November 19, 6:00 PM: Some MeinMMO readers report in the comments that they were able to add the PS5 to their cart at Euronics. However, checkout is still not possible. And the site keeps crashing.
I myself have not even been able to reach the product page – though after today I might have to replace my F5 key…
Update November 19, 5:30 PM: Silence surrounds both remaining retailer sites. Euronics and Medimax are still struggling with server problems. So far, no PS5s have been ordered there today, and when it will finally start there is currently unknown. It appears that we will just have to wait.
Update November 19, 4:45 PM: According to some reports, some users are now also making it to the product page at Euronics. However, the PS5 is still being listed as “Not available” there. Thanks to MeinMMO user Jona Pohlmann for the screenshot.
Update November 19, 4:30 PM: Euronics states the current situation. There is still an available stock of PS5s. It remains exciting what orders will be released.
Update November 19, 4:20 PM: Several users report on MeinMMO that they were advised by Amazon’s support chat to keep an eye on the Amazon site in the coming days if they still want a PS5.
Here’s a chat screenshot kindly shared by MeinMMO reader Rico.
Update November 19, 3:40 PM: When asked by phone, Medimax customer service explained that they are having technical problems with the servers and are working hard to resolve them. You should keep trying on the site. The Euronics product page is still unreachable at this time.
These are currently the last two remaining options.
Update November 19, 3:20 PM: The customer service at Müller has just confirmed by phone that the PS5 is completely sold out there and cannot currently be ordered any longer.
So that leaves only Medimax and Euronics, both of which are still taking their time. At Euronics, it is currently unclear whether orders will still be accepted today. However, they are working hard on it.
Update November 19, 2:32 PM: OK, Amazon appears to have already sold out. Some lucky ones were able to secure a PS5; most are still seeing “Currently not available” displayed. But what about the other retailers?
Medimax is still awaited
Orders at Euronics apparently have not yet started
At Müller, the situation is still unclear. The site is still down
Update November 19, 2:22 PM: It seems to have started. One of the editors at MeinMMO was able to order a PS5 on Amazon just now. At 2:20 PM. The new console is to be delivered between December 14 and 16.
Update November 19, 2:20 PM: Amazon is now showing some movement, at least for me. The display for the PS5 with disc has changed from “Not Available” to “Available at these providers” for me. But selecting a provider and adding the console to the cart is still not possible.
It could start soon. There has been no change regarding the Digital Edition yet.
Update November 19, 2:09 PM: It still says the PS5 orders will go live on Amazon shortly.

Update November 19, 6:41 PM: It looks like Medimax is now the only retailer with remaining stock. However, when it will start selling is still unknown. If you want a PS5, keep a close eye on the site.

Update November 19, 7:30 AM: There are now reports from Austria mentioning November 15th as a potential delivery date for the 3rd wave. Some have been able to secure a PS5 at LIBRO there and are apparently seeing November 15th as a delivery date. Retailers had already warned in advance that these statements were not set in stone.
By the way, at LIBRO.AT the new stock is also sold out.
Update November 19, 7:20 AM: Reports indicate that Euronics and Otto’s websites were down or hard to reach shortly after midnight. Whether pre-orders had already taken place is currently unclear.
Update November 19, 6:30 AM: You shouldn’t check GameStop today. They presumably started shortly after midnight, and the new stock is already sold out. Let us know how it goes with other retailers, and we will update this!

Update November 19, 6:20 AM: Mediamarkt has apparently already confirmed yesterday that there will be no new ordering possibilities today. They want to secure the orders from the first two waves. You shouldn’t check there.
Original Report:
Release date and price of the PS5: The PlayStation 5 has already been available in the US and several other countries since November 12. For us, November 19 marks the official release and sales launch in Germany and the rest of Europe. Finally, it’s our turn today.
For the PS5 with disc drive, you pay 499.99 euros, while for the purely digital version of the PS5, it is 399.99 euros.
What is the 3rd wave about? The PlayStation 5 could already be pre-ordered in 2 waves. But not everyone who wanted to secure a PS5 was successful. Now, on launch day, several retailers are providing another chance to buy a PS5. They are offering new ordering possibilities today, November 19th.
Keep in mind: The quantities are likely to be extremely limited once again – so there is a rush. And a healthy dose of luck will also be necessary when considering how chaotic the first two waves were.
Additionally, it is important: Even if you can order a PS5 today, you probably won’t receive it until some time after the launch. Because exact delivery times are not specified by the retailers. Only from GameStop there was an official statement: “You will have it in your hands in the following weeks.”
Buy PS5 – Pay special attention to these online retailers: More and more retailers have now announced a new stock for orders on November 19. These include:
Also worth checking with these retailers: MediaMarkt and Saturn have not confirmed any new order possibilities for November 19, but it is possible that you could still grab a PS5 there. It could be worthwhile to take a look now and then.
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
When should you check on November 19? Only Amazon has provided a specific time so far. There it is supposed to start at 1:00 PM German time. Expert was more general, stating “in the morning.” For all other confirmed retailers, except for “November 19,” there were no further details regarding the start time of new orders.
To be safe, we recommend checking the shops early and repeatedly. For example, the new order wave at GameStop had already started shortly after midnight. We will also inform you as soon as new orders are available.
And if you know other retailers that are accepting PS5 orders today, please let us and other readers of MeinMMO know in the comments.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Since this morning, many players have been desperately trying to preorder a PS5. While many retailers are sold out, Medimax is somewhat like the last hope for buyers. Because there, technical issues have meant that no console has been sold yet.
Update 1:00 PM: Medimax has now also confirmed on Facebook that the PS5 consoles are sold out:
Unfortunately, the PS5 consoles are sold out. Of course, we understand your frustration, but we tried to make the sale as fair as possible. If you couldn’t reserve a console, please continue to follow our Facebook page for the latest updates. We apologize and sincerely appreciate your understanding!
Medimax on Facebook
Update 9:30 AM: We from MeinMMO have now called Medimax again and asked if the sale has already happened and whether it still makes sense to wait. And the answer is likely to disappoint many who have been waiting.
The employee was not 100% sure but said that some had already gotten through, and it basically doesn’t make sense to wait on that side, which is still struggling with technical problems.
Update November 20, 8:50 AM: We have compiled the current status regarding the preorders of the PS5 and a glimpse of how things will proceed:
Update 9:00 PM: According to the current status, Medimax is the last station still available for purchasing a PS5. However, the site is still facing technical issues.
As communicated via Facebook, the servers are currently overloaded. When they will be back online is uncertain.
Update 6:15 PM: According to EURONICS, the first orders are apparently starting to come in. They announced on Twitter that a limited number of accesses to the shop are now allowed. However, the tweet has since been deleted.
What is going on? We from MeinMMO have been accompanying the preorder of the PS5 with a live ticker throughout the day. There you can find all retailers and general info.
However, the PS5 is sold out at most retailers by now. Only EURONICS has spoken up in a tweet and announced that no consoles have been sold yet.
Instead, preorders will only be possible once their system is running stably. Currently, you can access the EURONICS website, but as soon as you click a link related to the PS5, an error message appears.
Will there be preorders today? It is currently not certain whether the EURONICS system will be stable today or not. There is no guarantee for a purchase on this platform.
Nonetheless, the retailer is currently somewhat of a last hope for interested buyers:
The offers marked with an asterisk are equipped with affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, you support MeinMMO: Without affecting the price, we receive a small commission from the provider.
Medimax is also still struggling with the system
Are there no other retailers left? Many retailers like OTTO, Amazon, Expert, and GameStop are already completely sold out. However, there is still a small hope: Medimax.
Because the retailer is also currently struggling with technical issues. As we were told in a phone inquiry, they are already working on fixing the problems. Once the site goes online, you will also have a chance to get a PS5 there.
How did the release day go? Throughout the entire day, there have been many crazy things to observe regarding the PS5 release. For instance, the shipping retailer Amazon has already gone down and on eBay prices for PS5 consoles have skyrocketed.

In the upcoming update “Steel Dawn,” the legendary Steel Brotherhood finally returns to Fallout 76. But what exactly makes the Brotherhood so special? MeinMMO gives you a little history lesson on Fallout and explains who these knights are, where they come from, and what their goals may be.
What is the Steel Brotherhood? Primarily, the Steel Brotherhood aims to preserve the technology of the old world before the war and safeguard it for the future of humanity.
It is essentially a military order with a strong hierarchy, originating from former soldiers and officers of the US troops, which has evolved over the decades. Goals and structures have continually changed.
The Brotherhood is such an important part of the Fallout world that it has appeared in every official installment of the series. It even received its own game, which, however, is not part of the official canon.
With its knights, paladins, and scribes, it is an iconic presence that every Fallout player has likely heard of at least once. Behind the somewhat mystical name, however, lies much more than just a group of daredevils in centimeter-thick steel armor wielding big guns.
The Steel Brotherhood is known for its use of power armor.
“America has failed. Let us forge a Steel Brotherhood”
The origins of the legendary faction: The very first predecessors of the Steel Brotherhood were still officially soldiers of the US Army, who had served even before the Great War. A unit of the army served in 2076 under Captain Roger Maxson at the Mariposa military base in California.
There, they were to oversee a research project, amid fears from the US government of espionage by China. The project focused on the study of FEV, the “Forced Evolutionary Virus,” which would later lead to super mutants and even the Scorched and Flame Beasts in Fallout 76.
After Maxson’s unit learned that the scientists were conducting experiments with the virus on prisoners of war, they rebelled. Such a venture was against their moral standards.
However, through interrogations, Maxson found out that these projects were sanctioned by the government, and his faith in them was shaken. As the leader of the new rebellion, he declared his separation from the United States and only three days later, the bombs fell.
Arthur Maxson, a descendant of Roger Maxson, still leads a branch of the Brotherhood in Fallout 4. Image source: Fallout Wiki.
How was the Steel Brotherhood formed? After the atomic strikes, Maxson, his unit, and their families fled to Lost Hills, an old government bunker. This remains the main base of the Steel Brotherhood to this day.
Using satellite communications, Maxson sought out other survivors of the army and found Lieutenant Elizabeth “Lizzy” Taggerdy of the US Rangers, who was operating in Appalachia, West Virginia, at the time.
Maxson explained to Taggerdy what he had experienced in Mariposa and why governmental organizations are doomed to repeat the same mistakes that ultimately led to catastrophe.
He made it clear that America had failed and renounced governmental organizations. The Brotherhood was to operate explicitly outside the US government to prevent it from being misused as an army. He stated:
We cannot simply remain the US Army. Then it is only a matter of time before some general or damned politician comes out of a vault and starts commanding us around. And worse yet: They will order some soldier to start again with everything. Another round of atomic death.
Maxson in the holotape “Founding of the Steel Brotherhood”
In a holotape that can be found in Camp Venture in Fallout 76, Maxson gives a speech in which he mentions the Brotherhood by name for the first time, saying: “We will keep only the good from the past. And one day we will reclaim the lost. Let us forge a Steel Brotherhood!”
Did you know? The idea of the Brotherhood is likely based on the “Guardians,” a hostile faction from the game Wasteland. This is considered the spiritual predecessor of the entire Fallout series.
How is the Brotherhood organized? The Brotherhood is an order with a strictly military hierarchy. Every superior gives instructions to their direct subordinates, and they must obey.
The ranks are modeled on archaic structures. In the provisional first model, newcomers start as scribes or knights. Both can be promoted to paladins, though knights must first be dubbed as knights. Paladins then have the opportunity to be elected as elders. Later, these ranks are initially replaced by candidates who choose their path or are assigned one.
The system has been revised and expanded several times during the Brotherhood’s history, with the roles of scribes and knights, and at times also paladins, being further developed. Some chapters even later offered the role of “Lancers” to represent the air forces.
Register of Key Members
Roger Maxson: Founder of the Steel Brotherhood, first elder, and now worshiped by many followers.
Elizabeth “Lizzy” Taggerdy: The likely first paladin and leader of the Brotherhood in Appalachia.
Grant McNamara: A civilian accepted by the Brotherhood in Appalachia, who was instrumental as a researcher in the fight against the Flame Beasts.
Hailey Takano: A researcher working for the Brotherhood in the fight against the Flame Beasts and who trained Odessa Valdez.
Odessa Valdez: One of the first keepers of the code and part of the expedition force that aims to restore the Brotherhood’s presence in Appalachia.
Leila Rahmani: Leader of the expedition to Appalachia.
Elder Elijah: Founder of the chapter in the Mojave Desert.
Nolan McNamara: Elder of the chapter in the Mojave Desert, ensured the Brotherhood’s survival after the war with the NCR (New California Republic). Possibly related to Grant McNamara.
Owyn Lyons: Founder of the chapter on the East Coast, revolutionized the Brotherhood’s hierarchy. His vision for the Brotherhood was to help others instead of just seeking technology.
Henry Casdin: Founded the “Brotherhood Outcasts,” outcasts who disagreed with Lyons’ ideas. He wanted to return to the original mission.
Arthur Maxson: Descendant of Roger Maxson and current leader of the Brotherhood on the East Coast/Commonwealth. He adopted Lyons’ model and further refined it. He also brought back the Outcasts into the Brotherhood.
“New Traditions and Our Own Mythology” – The Brotherhood’s Goals
What is its mission? Although the idea and desire of most soldiers just before and after the founding of the Brotherhood was to help others, the goals soon changed.
Under Roger Maxson’s leadership, the Brotherhood was still supposed to help other people, but this became secondary. The main mission became to find and preserve the technologies of the old world as a kind of guardian organization.
With this, the Brotherhood aims to ensure that knowledge from the past is preserved for humanity while also preventing it from being misused.
To rebuild civilization, to reclaim it, our successors will need the secrets of the past. And these secrets are at risk of being lost forever […]
Until now, the Brotherhood has been a well-armed combat force. In the future, we will be the guardians of civilization. Therefore, we must gather every blueprint, every holotape, every book, and every damned note that contains the building blocks of the old world before it is too late.
Our scribes will take them, keep them safe, and perhaps even gain new insights. The knights will protect them like a hard shell around a precious seed. One day […] this seed will blossom into a new civilization […]
Helping fellow humans is a good goal, the goal of a soldier. But in this way … we will be the driving force that changes the world.
Maxson in the holotape “Preservation of Technology”
The Brotherhood’s Religion: After Maxson’s death in 2135, the Brotherhood’s mission evolved into something akin to a religion. Many members referred to him as the “Founder” and “Savior” and nearly worshipped him.
The code created by the scribes, containing Maxson’s ideologies, is seen as something like the holy scripture of the Brotherhood. Thus, this quasi-military organization transformed over time into a proper order.
The sword with wings and gears is the Brotherhood’s emblem and represents their mission to preserve and protect technology.
“West vs. East” – Divided Views in the Brotherhood
What is this inner conflict? These views, however, led to the development of various currents within the Brotherhood. Some members placed more value on helping their fellow humans, while others viewed Maxson’s mission to preserve technology as the highest good.
This development was further exacerbated by the Brotherhood being scattered throughout North America. Although their numbers were relatively small, expeditions were launched in many different areas.
This led to the establishment of new “chapters,” groups within the Brotherhood, each led by its own elder in their respective area. As each chapter faced its own challenges and had different conditions, many different ideas of the Brotherhood emerged from this.
The Chapters of the Brotherhood
The Steel Brotherhood: The original Brotherhood based in Lost Hills with several outposts. This is where the Council of Elders operates and manages all chapters of the Brotherhood.
The Steel Brotherhood in Appalachia: The sister organization of the Brotherhood led by Lizzy Taggerdy, which was founded almost simultaneously. It was wiped out a few years after its founding when the knights were overwhelmed by Flame Beasts.
The Mojave Chapter: Founded by Elder Elijah, who betrayed and abandoned the Brotherhood at the height of the war with the NCR. It is now led by Elder McNamara, who has since isolated the chapter from the outside world.
Lyons’ Steel Brotherhood: A chapter led by Owyn Lyons that openly disregarded the orders of the Elder Council. The chapter’s primary goal is humanitarian aid rather than the forced preservation of knowledge. At some point, the Brotherhood withdrew all support from this chapter.
Elder Owyn Lyons, known from Fallout 3, revolutionized the Brotherhood’s hierarchy. Image source: Fallout Wiki.
The Eastern Chapter: Led by Arthur Maxson, who founded the new chapter in the Commonwealth from the remnants of Lyons’ Brotherhood and the Outcasts. Currently active in the wasteland around the capital and in the Commonwealth.
The “Circle of Steel”
To maintain order within the Brotherhood despite the many currents and ideas, there exists something akin to an internal affairs department: the “Circle of Steel.” Members of the Circle ensure that rules within the Brotherhood are followed and violations are punished.
The most well-known member is Christine Royce, who is assigned to Elder Elijah in Fallout: New Vegas after he betrays the Brotherhood. The fact that she hunts him with a sniper rifle and camouflage gear shows roughly how the Circle carries out its missions.
Deserters and Outcasts
Throughout the many years of existence, numerous members of the Brotherhood have split off from it. Some of the most well-known include the Outcasts, who were later brought back under Maxson, and the chapter in Chicago, which severed all ties with the Brotherhood after a plane crash.
Most of the deserters harbor no ill will against the Brotherhood; they simply disagree with the leadership’s decisions or those of their chapter.
Hank Madigan was one of those former members. He separated from the Brotherhood after Roger Maxson’s plan to focus primarily on preserving knowledge and to make helping people a secondary concern. Madigan helped found the Fire Devils, a civilian aid organization in Appalachia that closely collaborated with the Brotherhood until tensions eventually arose.
What role does the Brotherhood play in Appalachia? Already before the events of Fallout 76, the Brotherhood chapter in Appalachia was wiped out. Like all the people that players can initially encounter, the knights and paladins are dead.
Nevertheless, they are an important part of the story, as players must undergo the initiation test so that they can ultimately succeed in the fight against the Flame Beasts and create a cure for the Scorched plague.
These hinted, when decrypted, that the Brotherhood wants to return. In a new video, Bethesda itself tells the background of the Brotherhood in Appalachia:

How can I interact with it? During various community events, it was possible to donate resources to Russel Dorsey so that the Brotherhood could establish a base in Appalachia. Every week during the events, a specific material had to be donated.
This has been the only real interaction with the Brotherhood so far. Since the major “One Wasteland” update in Fallout 76, however, there is the quest “Breaking the Silence,” where you first truly come into contact with the Brotherhood.
With this letter, a real member of the Brotherhood contacts you for the first time.
The quest is linked to the new daily operations, in which you must complete a small scenario with special tasks and enemies for Vernon Dodge. In return, there are rewards corresponding to your performance that match the ranks of the Brotherhood.
When will the Brotherhood return? With the upcoming update “Steel Dawn,” scheduled for December 1st, the Brotherhood is finally set to return to Appalachia. However, there is no specific date for this yet.
Since the update “One Wasteland”, there have been increasingly concrete hints about what will actually happen. For example, we already know that scholar Odessa Valdez is traveling to Appalachia with the “First Expeditionary Unit of the Brotherhood.” Leila Rahmani, scholar Valdez, and knight Daniel Shin will settle with Russell Dorsey at the ATLAS Observatory.
Support comes directly from Lost Hills, the main base of the Steel Brotherhood, under the leadership of Leila Rahmani. She is to ensure that Appalachia becomes safer again.
The story of the Brotherhood will continue to be told in upcoming updates. This was revealed to us by Project Lead Jeff Gardiner and Lead Quest Designer Brianna Schneider in an interview here on MeinMMO.

The Steel Brotherhood after Fallout 76 – What Happens Next?
This is how the Brotherhood’s history will proceed: From the history of the other Fallout parts, we already know that the Brotherhood gets embroiled in a war with the New California Republic, in which they are nearly wiped out.
Moreover, some parts of the Brotherhood forget their origins and their mission or are at risk of ceasing to exist due to lack of successors.
However, the Brotherhood still exists in Fallout 4, which takes place nearly 200 years after Fallout 76. It will not find its end already in Appalachia.
What will players be involved in? There are currently no concrete details about what players in Fallout 76 will be able to do. However, the legendary Roger Maxson is still alive at this time.
He may even personally make an appearance, and you will help him lead the Brotherhood to the greatness it later achieves. However, you might also encounter descendants of Grant McNamara or ancestors of Nolan McNamara and watch as the Mojave chapter is established.
What the Brotherhood exactly intends to accomplish in Appalachia and how you can help with it is still uncertain. However, many players are already excited about the update and have even made suggestions on how it can be improved.
What are you particularly looking forward to? What do you think about the Brotherhood? Discuss in the comments and listen to our MeinMMO podcast with editor Leya Jankowski, GameStar editor-in-chief Michael Graf, and Fallout expert Benedict Grothaus, whether Fallout 76 can make a turnaround and how the Brotherhood can help with it.

In League of Legends, the Pre-Season 11 has arrived. With it came various changes, especially to the items. Several new items were introduced, and with the Mythic items, even a completely new category. We from MeinMMO reveal what has changed and which are the best Mythic items for Season 11.
What has changed regarding the items in the Pre-Season? With Patch 10.23, the items in LoL were significantly adjusted:
19 items were removed or changed. Some of them will return as the so-called Mythic items
What are the new Mythic items? These new items are items of which you can only have one at a time. They are particularly powerful, have a passive effect that enhances your other “finished items” and are meant to serve as cornerstones of your build.
What is this guide about? In this guide, we want to tell you which Mythic items are most useful for each position in the game. We will also adjust this to future updates to provide you with the most current list possible.
Especially at the start of the Pre-Season, the changes caused some confusion among players. For those who want to inform themselves generally about the Pre-Season, here is a fitting video:

The item here depends a bit on which champion type you are playing.
AP damage over time: If you like playing mages with a lot of damage over time, like Malzahar, Cassiopeia, or Azir, you should go for Liandry’s Anguish. With the special effect, you burn your opponents and gain more magic penetration for your later attacks:
80 ability power
600 mana
20 ability haste
Unique – BURN: When you deal damage to enemies with abilities, they burn and take 15 damage (+2.5% ability power) per second for 4 seconds, as well as magic damage equal to 1% of their maximum health. You gain 5% magic penetration per second against burning targets (up to 25%).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,400 gold
AP burst damage: If you instead rely on mages that deal a lot of burst damage, such as LeBlanc, Zoe, or Syndra, you should take a closer look at Luden’s Tempest. The item generally provides more magic penetration and causes additional AoE damage when you cast abilities:
80 ability power
10 magic penetration
600 mana
10 ability haste
Unique – ECHO: Damage-dealing abilities deal an additional 100 (+15% ability power) magic damage to the target and 3 nearby enemies, and grant you 30% movement speed for 2 seconds (10 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 5 magic penetration.
The item costs 3,400 gold
LeBlanc is the epitome of a burst damage mage in LoL.
AP melee fighters: Fans of AP melee fighters, like Sylas or Ekko, should use the Hextech Rocketbelt instead. Here you gain extra health and have an ability with which you can jump to enemies:
80 ability power
250 health
15 ability haste
Unique – HYPERSONIC (ACTIVE): Jump in the target direction and fire magical projectiles in an arc that deal 200–300 (level 1–18) (+15% ability power) magic damage. You then gain 75% movement speed for 2 seconds when moving towards enemy champions (40 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 magic penetration.
The item costs 3,200 gold
AD in the middle: If you’re building an AD character like Talon, Zed, or Jayce in the Midlane, you should look at Eclipse. Here you get particularly high damage and gain movement speed:
55 attack damage
18 lethality
10% omnivamp (magic and AD)
Unique – EVER-RISING MOON: If you hit a champion within 1.5 seconds with 2 individual normal attacks or abilities, they take additional normal damage equal to 8% of their maximum health and you gain 30% movement speed and a shield equal to 150 ([+40% of bonus attack damage] for melee champions) or 100 ([+30% of bonus attack damage] for ranged champions) for 2 seconds (6 second cooldown for melee champions, 12 second cooldown for ranged champions).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 4% armor penetration.
The item costs 3,200 gold
An alternative for assassins in the middle is also the Duskblade of Draktharr, which we will introduce again in the Jungle items.
The best items for Junglers
For Junglers, much also depends on the playstyle. Four items have stood out in the meta so far.
Jungle Tanks: In the Pre-Season, tank junglers like Sejuani, Zac, or Jarvan IV are making a return to the meta. One reason for this is the Mythic item Sunfire Aegis, which causes burning around them. This affects both enemy players and neutral minions in the jungle:
450 health
30 armor
30 magic resistance
15 ability haste
Unique – BURN: Deal 20–40 (level 1–18) (+1% bonus health) magic damage per second to nearby enemies (damage against minions is increased by 50% and against monsters by 200%). If an enemy champion or epic monster takes damage from this effect, the subsequent burning damage increases by 12% for 5 seconds (max 6 stacks).
Unique – FLAMING TOUCH: At maximum stacks of “Burn”, your normal attacks burn nearby enemies. The burning deals damage per second for 3 seconds.
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold.
Sejuani is a strong tank and enjoys great popularity in Pre-Season 11.
Lane Ganker: If you actively attack lanes and are looking for kills, the new item Duskblade of Draktharr may make you happy. It is especially suited for champions like Shaco, Rengar, or Kha’Zix, as enemies are slowed by attacks:
55 attack damage
18 lethality
20 ability haste
Unique – NIGHTWALKER: Attacks against a champion deal an additional 100 normal damage (+30% bonus attack damage) and slow them by 99% for 0.25 seconds (15 seconds cooldown). If a champion you damaged within the last 3 seconds dies, this cooldown is reset and you become invisible for 1.5 seconds.
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold
AP Jungler: Although they are currently a bit weaker than tanks, AP junglers like Elise, Nidalee, or Evelynn are still very popular. The item Night Harvester is best suited for them:
80 ability power
250 health
15 ability haste
Unique – SOULREAPER: When you deal damage to a champion, they take an additional 175–250 (level 1–18) (+15% ability power) magic damage, and you gain 25% movement speed for 1.5 seconds (60 seconds cooldown per enemy).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold
Ability Users: For certain champions like Hecarim, Vi, and Xin Zhao, the strength of Trinity has always been the best item. This remains true even after the rework:
200 health
35 attack damage
35% attack speed
10 ability haste
Unique – TRIPLE STRIKE: Normal attacks grant you 25 movement speed for 3 seconds. If the target is a champion, your base attack damage is increased by 6%. Can be stacked up to 5 times (max 30%).
Unique – SPELLSWORDS: After casting an ability, your next normal attack is empowered and deals an additional 200% base attack damage (1.5 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 10% attack speed.
The item costs 3,333 gold.
Hecarim is one of the champions that always rely on the strength of Trinity.
The best items for the Top Lane
In the Top Lane, two items are well-suited, depending on the champion type you play.
Tanks: In the Top Lane, tanks like Volibear, Ornn, or Malphite can be played wonderfully. They all benefit from Sunfire Aegis and the additional damage around them:
450 health
30 armor
30 magic resistance
15 ability haste
Unique – BURN: Deal 20–40 (level 1–18) (+1% bonus health) magic damage per second to nearby enemies (damage against minions is increased by 50% and against monsters by 200%). If an enemy champion or epic monster takes damage from this effect, the subsequent burning damage increases by 12% for 5 seconds (max 6 stacks).
Unique – FLAMING TOUCH: At maximum stacks of “Burn”, your normal attacks burn nearby enemies. The burning deals damage per second for 3 seconds.
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
The item costs 3,200 gold.
Ability Users: For certain champions like Fiora, Darius, and also Garen, the strength of Trinity is the best item here. This remains true even after the rework:
200 health
35 attack damage
35% attack speed
10 ability haste
Unique – TRIPLE STRIKE: Normal attacks grant you 25 movement speed for 3 seconds. If the target is a champion, your base attack damage is increased by 6%. Can be stacked up to 5 times (max 30%).
Unique – SPELLSWORDS: After casting an ability, your next normal attack is empowered and deals an additional 200% base attack damage (1.5 seconds cooldown).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 10% attack speed.
The item costs 3,333 gold.
AP Top Lane: Currently, AP Top Laners like Lulu or Galio are rather rare. For Lulu, the strength of Trinity is also recommended, for Galio, the Hextech Rocketbelt.
The best items for AD Carries
Classic AD Carries: The new item “Shieldbow of Immortality” has proven to be particularly strong for classic AD carries:
+50 attack damage
+15% attack speed
+20% critical strike chance

MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 3% movement speed.
The item costs a total of 3,400 gold
The best items for Supporters
Supporters in League of Legends can again take on various roles in Season 11. These include tanks, healers, or even aggressive supporters who want to deal damage as well.
Tank Support: If you like standing in the frontline with champions like Leona, Braum, Tahm Kench, or Nautilus, you should get the Amulet of the Iron Solar. This provides a lot of defensive capabilities while also protecting your teammates:
200 health
20 ability haste
30 armor
30 magic resistance
Unique – DEVOTION (ACTIVE): Grant nearby allies a shield equal to 250–420 (ally level 1–18) that degrades over 2.5 seconds (90 seconds cooldown).

+100% mana regeneration
Unique – GRACE OF STARDUST: When you hit champions in battle with normal attacks or abilities, you heal the most wounded nearby ally for 30–60 health (ally level 1–18, 2 seconds cooldown). With each second you are in combat with champions, this healing effect increases by 37.5% (max. +150%).
MYTHIC: Grants all legendary items 5 ability haste.
AP Supporter: If you play an aggressive supporter who needs ability damage and mana, you should use the item Imperial Mandate. It provides exactly what characters like Nami, Yuumi, or Seraphine need:
40 ability power
200 health
20 ability haste
100% mana regeneration
Unique – MARK OF HOSTILITY: Abilities that slow or immobilize a champion deal an additional 60–100 magic damage (level 1–18) and mark them for 4 seconds. Damage from an allied champion will trigger the mark to explode, dealing 60–100 additional magic damage (ally level 1–18). You and your ally will then gain 20% movement speed for 2 seconds (6 seconds cooldown per enemy).
MYTHIC: Grants all other legendary items 15 ability power.
The item costs 2,700 gold.
Seraphine fits well with this item and is a good support, but still unpopular with many players. We will show you why this is and how great the frustration really is here:
Just before the release of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Blizzard is making changes to the most important system: the Covenants. More specifically, the Kyrian Covenant. They have been considered an absolute top tip among experts. That might change now.
What kind of Covenant is this? The Kyrians are the first Covenant you will encounter in the new expansion Shadowlands. The orderly beings are somewhat like the law of the Shadowlands and ensure that everything runs according to the rules.
What made it so strong? The reason was the NPC Pelagos. He is one of the companions with whom you can form a Soulbind. Soulbinds are a new mechanic that strengthens you by granting you various buffs.
Most NPCs with whom you can form a bond offer either:
two potency conduits and one enhancing ability
or one potency conduit and two enhancing abilities
Potency conduits enhance your class-specific abilities by granting them bonus damage, for example. Enhancing abilities are, for instance, abilities that improve your secondary stats for a time.
Pelagos was the only character who offered both two potency conduits and two enhancing abilities. For almost every DPS specialization, the Kyrians were therefore considered a pro tip. However, this is changing now.
The abilities at the top and bottom as well as the slots with the crossed swords are the reason for Pelagos’ strength.
Nerf for Pelagos – Which Covenant is now the strongest?
This has been nerfed: The ability “Letting Go of the Past” originally granted you a bonus to versatility. Instead, each stack of the ability now reduces your magic damage taken by 1%.
This means that “Letting Go of the Past” no longer enhances your damage, as was the case with versatility. Pelagos will be a bit weaker than before. Additionally, two of the Necrolord NPCs will become stronger.
What should I play now? Due to the changes, the Kyrians are likely no longer the “top Covenant”. However, they have previously only been the best on paper. Effectively, the difference to other Covenants was only a few percentages.
The Necrolords of Maldraxxus have received a buff. Maybe they are worth it for you now?
If you want to get the maximum out of your character, you should take a closer look at all the Covenants. There is likely no longer an “absolutely best Covenant”. In our special on MeinMMO, you can find all abilities and rewards of the Covenants.
Otherwise, the best option is to play what you enjoy. The difference is hardly relevant for your progress in Shadowlands. It’s more important to understand how the dungeons and mechanics work. If you still need help, you can find out with our quiz which Covenant suits you.
With the nerf to Pelagos, Blizzard is addressing the criticism of some players, according to which the Kyrians were too strong and a “mandatory choice” for progress players. Additionally, the Covenant is now placed on a level with the other Covenants, and you are no longer “worse off” if you prefer being a blood-sucking Venthyr.
In our podcast on WoW Shadowlands on MeinMMO, we also talk about the Covenants, their history, and their function in the new addon. You can find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes, and on our podcast page. It will be released on November 25, shortly after the release of Shadowlands.

Now the next ban has followed, but this time it was about a conversation about sex that he had live in stream with his viewers.
Ban after “Sex Talk” – MontanaBlack finds it unfortunate
What is the reason for the ban? MontanaBlack talked about the topic of sex in his livestream and, according to his own statements, “explained/showed to his viewers how he likes to have sex with women.”
He also demonstrated some movements that he makes while doing so to his viewers. On Twitter there is a corresponding clip. However, we warn you that these scenes are not suitable for children.
What does the streamer say about his ban? MontanaBlack himself finds the ban unfortunate. He says: “I find it a bit unfortunate, as I talked very respectfully about the topic of sex and the female sex in this ‘sex talk.’ In the end, it is a 3-day ban because I streamed ‘sexual content’ while I was reenacting a few examples of good sex…”

Here are the rules on Twitch: The guidelines from Twitch state that sexual gestures are prohibited. MontanaBlack did not adhere to this, which is why there is now a short ban.
However, MontanaBlack has not been banned in the past for sex content. He had already received another ban for insults prior to his scandal ban from his vacation in Malta:
Nvidia has commented on the availability of the RTX 3080 during a conference call. According to Nvidia, it may take some time before you can get an RTX 3080. There are various reasons for this.
Nvidia has released a very strong graphics card (GPU) for gamers with the RTX 3080. Accordingly, the demand for the very fast GPU is extremely high. However, they can barely keep up with the supply. There is also speculation about a possible memory upgrade for the RTX 3080.
Where does the information come from? At Nvidia, there was an “Earnings Call”. This is a conference call where a corporation discusses the financial results of a quarter. Several people from Nvidia spoke during this event.
Who spoke? Colette Kress, the Chief Financial Officer of Nvidia, explained during the call that it might take some time before there are enough graphics cards available again. The first devices were sold out immediately:
Many of our retail and online partners were sold out immediately and the RTX 30 series was the biggest launch we have ever had.
Although we expected strong demand, it even exceeded our highest expectations. Given industry-wide capacity constraints and long cycle times, it may take several months before product availability matches demand.
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang also stated that they would be pleased if the supply could increase more quickly. But due to COVID, they are currently in a difficult situation. He said: “But we would welcome shorter cycle times; we would welcome more flexible supply chains.” However, it may take some time before the situation improves.
Sony, Microsoft, and AMD also affected by high demand
Nvidia is not the only company currently facing challenges with high demand and low availability. Alongside Nvidia, Sony, Microsoft, and AMD are also struggling with this:
AMD has been struggling with high demand since the launch of the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT. The graphics cards were sold out immediately and there is still high demand.
Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S is also currently sold out. Meanwhile, the Xbox chief has stated that this will not change quickly until there are enough consoles.
Sony’s PlayStation 5 was also sold out immediately shortly after pre-order. However, there is often a replenishment. Overall, the devices are also in short supply here.
If you’re interested in an RTX 3080 or RTX 3090, then check this out: Here we introduce all the shops where you can normally buy an RTX 3080 or 3090. Currently, however, there are hardly any graphics cards available.

The AK-74u is an MP variant of the famous AK-47 and was a hit in the alpha version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. After the nerf of the MP5, it might receive more attention again. MeinMMO shows you a strong setup and the comparison to the MP5.
Why should I try the AK-74u now? If you were looking for the best weapon for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in the first days after release, you often found only one answer: the West German MP5. Many gave a recommendation, and a good part of them even demanded its quick nerf.
And so it happened. 6 days after release, an update nerfed the MP5. It lost 33% of its damage range, and according to developer Treyarch, they also adjusted the recoil of the first shots.
If you are looking for a solid alternative for the MP5 after the nerf, which even surpasses the German model in some aspects, then MeinMMO provides you with a strong setup for the AK-74u and the comparison to the MP5 in the most important values.
Cold War: AK-74u setup that easily competes with the MP5
What does a strong setup look like? SMGs are close combat fighters and are supposed to quickly take down enemies at short distances. Therefore, you need a high aim-down-sight speed to get on target quickly, a few extra shots to respond to multiple enemies, and good hip fire:
Muzzle: Suppressor
Barrel: 9.3 VDV Reinforced
Underbarrel: Foregrip
Magazine: 40-round Drum
Grip: GRU Elastic Wrap
What does this setup bring? The suppressor supports your advances behind enemy lines and keeps you hidden from detection when you take fire at enemies. However, this comes at the cost of your damage range, which you balance out with the reinforced barrel.
On top of that, you get 80% more projectile acceleration so that the bullet travel time at short distances is hardly noticeable. This value is much more important in Cold War than it was in Modern Warfare and becomes particularly noticeable with SMGs at a certain distance. On average, their bullet speed is only half that of other weapons in Cold War. Not so with the AK-74u, which reaches 900 meters/second.
The foregrip helps you with horizontal recoil control and provides a secure feeling while firing. The drum magazine also gives you more security when fights last longer or multiple enemies appear in your line of sight asking for bullets in their faces.
With the grip, you then reduce your aim-down-sight time to 210 milliseconds but lose a bit of movement speed and take longer to go from sprinting to firing.
AK-74u setup with Gunfighter compensates for drawbacks
What else can I attach with Gunfighter? With the powerful wildcard “Gunfighter,” you can even equip 8 attachments to a weapon. You can choose the following:
Optic: Microflex LED – If you find the Iron Sight (Rear & Front) difficult
Body: Steady Aim Laser – Improves your hip fire
Stock: Wire Stock – Partially compensates for the sprint-to-fire delay from the grip
This gives the weapon a little more boost to its hip fire and movement, but you have to forgo the other strong wildcards.
AK-74u beats MP5 in 2 important values
What makes the Soviet SMG special? Two things you should definitely know about the AK-74u:
Its bullet speed is at least twice as high as that of other SMGs
It has the potentially lowest time-to-kill of all SMGs
These facts already made it one of the strongest weapons in the alpha, and even in the full version, it can benefit from its stats. With similar setups, the comparison to the MP5 in these important values looks like this:
Time-to-Kill: AK-74u – 258 ms / MP5 – 280 ms
Damage per bullet: AK-74u – 38 / MP5 – 32
Shots for kill: AK-74u – 4 / MP5 – 5
Projectile acceleration: AK-74u – 900 m/s / MP5 – 450 m/s
In direct damage comparison, it outperforms the MP5 at the shortest ranges. Additionally, the risk of missing a moving target due to bullet speed is lower. Compared to the MP5, you also save bullets since the damage per projectile is about 16% higher.
What can the MP5 do better than the AK-74u? However, the MP5 is also no slouch after the nerf. The reduction in range has hurt it, but it hasn’t broken it. Here are important values in which the MP5 has the edge with a similar setup:
Aim-down-sight time: AK-74u – 210 ms / MP5 – 192.5 ms
Damage range: AK-74u – 7.85 m / MP5 – 9.45 m
Due to the reduced range, the MP5 remains in the race against its fiercest MP competitor, but the difference between the two is now virtually just a matter of taste. This also applies to the damage range over 8 or 10 meters. Because even here, the AK is a bit faster in TTK (both around 350 ms).
More tips & tricks for Cold War can be found here:
Which one should I take? If you want to minimize your aim-down-sight time, go for the MP5. If you find TTK more important, the AK-74u is your choice. Also, opt for the AK if you notice that the low bullet speed of the SMGs bothers you.
Your preference for fire rate may also play a role. If you prefer a high fire rate so that a missed bullet costs less time, the MP5 wins. With the AK-74u, you save bullets and need to sink fewer bullets into your target to take them down.
If you want to stick with SMGs, compare the two in your matches and find out for yourself which one hits the hardest.
Not for me! What can I use instead? If you are struggling with the low range of the MP5 and the AK-74u is no longer an option for you, consider another Soviet product: the AK-47.
