PlayStation 5 predictions this week - Argos and Amazon could launch sales as Very goes live

If you're yet to secure a PlayStation 5 then you may want to keep an eye on three major retailers this week.

The Sony console is still proving extremely difficult for some to get their hands on, despite it first launching in the UK nearly a year ago.

Both editions of the console - Digital and Disc - rarely come up in stock with retailers across the country but when they do they sell out, fast.

It's why accounts like PS5 Stock UK on Twitter, among several others, have been set up especially to follow the shopping trends of the PlayStation 5.

The PS5 Stock UK Twitter account has gained a huge following due to its correct predictions of PS5 sales in the past.

And now, they are predicting possible PS5 restock launches with Amazon and Argos.

The account also predicted a sale at Very correctly, indicating that the retailer could go live with a drop today (October 19) or tomorrow (October 20).

And just minutes after their tweet the retailer did - see their PS5 landing page here for updates.

Here are the predictions:

  • Argos - 8am on Wednesday October 20
  • Amazon - Wednesday October 20

PS5 Stock UK said on Twitter: "Our internal sources still indicate a 20th October 8am drop for Argos, so that's one to look out for this week.

"We have no information to confirm this but previous restock patterns indicate a possible drop this week for Amazon (20/10) & Very (19/10 or 20/10). Just a prediction."

Argos's last restock of the PlayStation 5 came on September 30.

The retailer dropped their sale online shortly after 8am.

Both the Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Console - priced at £359.99 and the Disc Version - priced at £449.99 were available to buy on the Argos website.

Save the Argos landing page here for their possible PS5 sale on October 20.

Amazon's last restock of both versions of the console took place on September 29 and sold out within the hour.

The PS5 was made exclusively available to Prime members for the first time.

Customers who add the console to their wish list on Amazon or use Amazon Smile, a separate website with portions of the sale costs being donated to charity, have had better luck in securing a PS5.

Check back here on Amazon UK for stock updates on the PS5. It's rumoured that the UK site may go live with a sale on Wednesday, October 20.
