More PS5 stock will be available today at selected US and Canadian retailers

Selected US and Canadian retailers have said they’ll have more PlayStation 5 stock available to pre-order on Friday.

They include GameStop, Walmart and EB Games, but stock is expected to go quickly.

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.

UPDATE 5PM UK: Walmart Canada has said its latest allocation of PS5 consoles have been sold, while EB Games still has consoles available to pre-order at the time of publication.

There have also been unconfirmed reports that GameStop will launch PS5 pre-orders online beginning at 10am PT/1pm ET.

ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES: UK retailer Game also took a second round of pre-orders on Friday but has now sold out online.

Sony 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.
