Limited PS5 stock will be available to pre-order at UK retailer Game this Friday

UK retailer Game says it will have a limited amount of PlayStation 5 stock available to pre-order on Friday morning.

It will only be available online and is likely to sell out quickly based on recent events.

Multiple retailers sold out of PS5 pre-orders just hours after launch details were announced last Wednesday, despite Sony telling fans that pre-sales for the console would begin the following day.

Retailers including Target, Walmart, Gamestop, Game and Best Buy went live with their PS5 pre-orders ahead of schedule, with most quickly selling out of stock.

PlayStation subsequently apologised for the troubled PS5 pre-order launch and promised to release more consoles to retailers imminently.

The platform holder has confirmed a PlayStation 5 release date of November 12 in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia and South Korea.

The rest of the world will get the console a week later on November 19, including Europe, Middle East, South America, Asia and South Africa.

PS5 will be priced at $500/€500/£450 for the standard edition and $400/€400/£360 for the Digital Edition, with the only difference between them being the former’s inclusion of a disc drive.
