PS5 live alerts for Argos restock, early morning EE stock drop, John Lewis, ASDA and more

The PS5 remains tricky to get hold of, despite launching around 9 months ago.

PlayStation 5 stock shortages have been a constant source of irritation for fans hoping to grab a next-gen machine.

Despite the lack of stock, Sony has still managed to shift around 10 million units since last November.

And judging by the latest stock reports in the UK, Sony is about to sell a whole lot more in the coming weeks of August.

According to PS5 UK Stock, Argos, ASDA, John Lewis, Currys, Studio and ShopTo are all likely to restock the PS5 this week.

Scan and Smyths could also get stock in the coming days, followed by the likes of GAME and Amazon later this month.

Then there’s the imminent EE stock drop, which will be available from 8am BST on August 3.

Argos is also expected to drop at 8am, although the retailer sometimes restocks the console overnight. ASDA drops tend to take place between 8-9am, while John Lewis drops at around 7am BST.

Express Online will keep this article updated with live alerts throughout what is expected to be a busy week for PlayStation 5 stock drops.

In the meantime, to give yourself the best possible chance of securing a PS5, it’s worth bookmarking some of the more popular stock checker accounts.

This includes Digital Foundry Deals, Stock Informer, PS5 UK Stock – Instant Updates, PS5 UK Stock and Express Gaming – the latter of which will have live updates throughout the week.

Some of the accounts mentioned above have Discord groups for PS5 customers, while some have live streams and alerts on sites like YouTube.

Customers are generally encouraged to have multiple devices open when trying to purchase a PlayStation 5, and to sign in to retail accounts when available.

Now is an exciting time to pick up a PlayStation 5, because lots of big new games are on the way.

This includes Deathloop, which is the latest game from the developers of Dishonored and Prey.

Players control an assassin trapped in an mysterious timeloop on the island of Blackreef. The only way to avoid playing the same day over and over again is to assassinate eight targets before the day resets.

“Learn from each cycle – try new paths, gather intel, and find new weapons and abilities. Do whatever it takes to break the loop.”

Other upcoming PS5 games include Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima Director’s cuts, as well as GTA 5, Battlefield 2042 and Far Cry 6.
