New PS5 update as stock drops at Very – with Argos working on restock

New PS5 stock has finally dropped on Very.co.uk – and from experience you'll have to be quick.

Twitter tipster PS5StockAlertUK let its followers know that new stock had dropped on the website, saying: "The #PS5 is now in stock! [Very]".

It was previously announced that mew PlayStation 5 stock would be added today at two retailers – Very.co.uk and Argos.

PS5 fans have been desperate to get their hands on the console since its launch in 2020 – but retailers are struggling to keep up with demand.

So those who want to get their hands on Sony’s newest console have to stay eagle-eyed and plan for the next drop.

Argos had a big PS5 restock throughout the night, which meant customers were queueing into the early hours.

But unfortunately people were unable to checkout what they had put in their baskets.

One Twitter user said: "You would have thought that you would be prepared for the amount of traffic. Absolute shambles. Can you give us any update?" one asked.

Another said: "Same mine states same delivery but won't check out.”

At the moment Argos is telling customers: “We are working hard to replenish stock of the PS5/Xbox Series X at the moment.

“Please keep an eye on our website, where you will find the most up to date information on current stock availability. Our contact centre staff are unable to provide any additional information.”

According to Twitter tipster PS5Instant, some users are reporting specific regions getting stock again.

The user added that the reported methods “involves adding via wish list and once in basket, to keep refreshing your basket until it goes green for delivery or collection.”

If you’re having no luck with Argos, you can always check Very later on today.

Twitter tipster PS5StockAlertUK has said: “Very will go live tomorrow 17th February around 11am.

“The retailer will be dropping both the Disc Edition and the Digital Edition.”

The Twitter user also informed they are expecting to have 6,000 consoles available.

Meanwhile, the retailer is saying on Twitter they currently don’t have an “ETA” for the arrival of the PS5 stock.

Very continued: “I can only advise to keep an eye on the website for any updates for this.”

If you still don’t manage to get one when the Very stock drops, don’t worry. There are still plenty of drops to come later in the week.

According to PS5Instant, we can still look forward to drops at Currys, John Lewis, AO, BT and More.

Eager gamers flocked to the Curry's website on Monday when scheduled maintenance sparked rumours the retailer was preparing for a restock.

However, a message on its website said: "We are experiencing higher traffic than usual. We are not selling PS5 or Xbox today."
