On November 19, gamers in the UK will finally be able to get their hands on the long awaited PS5 console.
The new Playstation went on pre-sale last month, and sold out at many retailers in record time as gamers battled it out to get their hands on one.
But, according to Yorkshire Live, Sony stores in England will not be able to open up to customers on launch day due to lockdown - meaning that the only way gamers can get their hands on a console is through ordering online or via a click and collect service.
Sony has told customers that there will be no spare units available globally for in-store purchase on launch day and that only those who have pre-ordered a PS5 should turn up.
“Please don’t plan on camping out or lining up at your local retailer on launch day in hopes of finding a PS5 console for purchase,” said Sid Shuman, senior director of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) content communications.
“Be safe, stay home, and place your order online.
“Gamers who have pre-ordered for pick-up at their local retailer should still be able to do so at their designated appointment time, under the retailer’s safety protocols.
“Please confirm the details with your local retailer.”
