Start lining up for the PlayStation 5 at Sony | Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Update April 21st, 6:33PM ET: Sony has sold out of PS5 consoles for now.
A year and a half since its release, the PlayStation 5 is still extremely difficult to get your hands on. Sony has been one of the most reliable retailers when it comes to console restocks, though it usually reserves them for invite-only restocks that you have to register in advance for. This is one of the rare moments where Sony is opening up a public queue, so if you're still in the market for this rare console, either the disc-based PS5 for $499 or the $399 PS5 Digital Edition, just go ahead and queue up via its direct store to try your luck.
You don't have to refresh the landing page once you've arrived in the queue - just wait it out - but we do recommend that...
