Sony is once again parting with a refreshed stock of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles through its PlayStation Direct marketplace. Just as we’ve seen through the past restocks, a waiting room has opened up for shoppers to wait in until they’re dropped into the actual queue for PlayStation Direct. Once you’re through the main queue, you’ll have a shot at buying one of the new consoles assuming they’re not already sold out by the time you’re in.

Right now, finer details on the restock are unknown. In other words, it’s unclear how large the restock is and whether it will release in waves or be limited to a single queue. Whatever the case, it’s not often PlayStation Direct releases new stock. In fact, this is only its second restock of 2021. As a result, its restock tends to be comprised of more supply than restocks from Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, Target, and others. Further, the process isn’t weighed down by website issues and bots and there’s no competing to see who can get the console in their cart the quickest.
As always, refreshing the page or having multiple queue tabs open has no effect on your place in line. And because the page refreshes automatically, you don’t need to worry about spamming it as you do on other sites.
Just like before, it’s one console per person and you will need to use your PSN account to complete the purchase.
At the moment of publishing, there are still six minutes left until the waiting room is complete and the proper queue opens. That said, by the time you’re reading this, much of the information above may have changed and be outdated.
