GameStop has been a fairly consistent source of PS5 stock lately – if you’re willing to drop by your local store in person, that is. The retailer’s next big restock begins today (August 19) at its physical stores, and as usual, PowerUp Rewards Pro members will get the first dibs.
According to the GameStop website, a limited number of PS5 bundles will be available for Pro members on August 19 and for everyone else on August 20. As with any restock, these will likely sell out quickly, so we recommend heading to your local store early (you can find your nearest GameStop here).
GameStop sells the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition almost exclusively in bundles, which often include a handful of games and accessories. These are more expensive than just buying the $499 PS5 outright or the $399 PS5, but they often stay in stock longer – and include some items you might be considering buying from anyway.
According to The Shortcut, this weekend’s bundles include a PS5 disc with a DualSense controller and Madden NFL 23 ($640-$645), a PS5 Digital with the same extras ($540-$545), and a PS5 Digital bundle Horizon Forbidden West with a DualSense Controller and $70 PlayStation Store Gift Card for $595.
GameStop’s PowerUp Rewards Pro subscription – which is almost necessary for a chance at this replenishment – costs $14.99 per year and includes a number of benefits beyond exclusive access to console drops. . You’ll get store credit (including a $10 welcome reward and $5 every month to invest in games, gear and toys), 2% back in reward credit on every purchase you make, and a monthly subscription to Game Informer magazine.
PS5 restocks have been pretty frequent lately, though you still can’t just hop online and buy Sony’s console whenever you want. According to Polygon, Sony noted in a recent earnings call that it’s ramping up production on the PlayStation 5 to make it easier to get home for the impending vacation. In the meantime, we’ll continue to track all the latest PS5 restock updates to give you the best chance of bringing one home.
