It\u2019s been a minute since Sony last offered the PlayStation 5 via its digital storefront. Last month, the company ran public restocks three days in a row, allowing anyone with a PlayStation Network account to line up online for a chance to buy one. And frankly, recent restock events have been fairly easy to breeze through and nab a console. So now is the time to line up, as Sony has a restock going on right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you wait in the queue and your turn comes around (keep your volume on and you\u2019ll hear a chime) you should be able to shop for a PlayStation 5 console and a selection of accessories and games. While availability has varied for past restock events, it appears Sony is currently only offering the disc-based PS5 for $549.99 with a digital copy of Horizon Forbidden West<\/em><\/a>. Sadly, while we have seen non-bundle options for both the disc-based console and the PS5 Digital Edition in the past, neither is available at the moment.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t mind opting for a bundle, however, be sure to wait out the queue even if the estimated wait is over an hour, namely because many of these online queues end before the estimated wait time is up. That said, best of luck on getting your new PS5!<\/p>\n

Games and accessories you can\u2019t go wrong with<\/h2>\n

Get your console, get your games, and get your accessories. There are plenty of fantastic titles and accessories for Sony\u2019s next-gen gaming console, but below are a few of our current favorites.<\/p>\n
