It has been almost two years since Sony launched its latest PS5 console, and yet it remains out of bounds to the buyers. Indian users have to rely on monthly PS5 restocks to buy the new console, which is already pretty inconvenient for prospective buyers. What makes things worse is the limited PS5 units during the monthly restocks, which get sold out within minutes. PS5 stocks are expected to be limited this year as well, and getting your hands on one could be a little tricky in the coming months. But, fret not, below is a quick guide on how you can track PS5 restock in India and successfully buy or pre-order when it is available:

Why is there a PS5 shortage?

1. The pandemic

Sony’s PS5 shortage began due to the COVID-19 pandemic related global lockdowns. The pandemic led to a shortage of components and logistics issues. Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and President Jim Ryan has said that the Russia-Ukraine war has partly affected logistics and component inventory.

2. Shortage of semiconductors and other components

The Work from Home trend of working during the pandemic brought a lot of demand for PCs, laptops, and webcams. Many manufacturers prioritised producing these, leaving limited components for the PS5.

3. Scalping

Many scalpers managed to get their hands on the PS5 before potential buyers, who hoarded the consoles for reselling at a higher price. Sony Center employees have also been accused of scalping PS5 consoles.

  • Login on all of the websites 10 to 15 minutes before the PS5 restock time or create a new account if you don’t have one
  • Refresh the websites when PS5 restock goes live until you see the Buy Now or Add to Cart button
  • Click on the Buy Now or Add to Cart button, confirm your details, and proceed to complete the payment
