When can you place your PS5 pre-orders? As early as tomorrow — 17th September — according to Sony. The company just dropped that bomb on Twitter following the PS5 Showcase livestream.
It's yet to be made clear which retailers will get first dibs, but we'd be willing to bet that all the major online stores will be ready to go tomorrow. Think Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy.
In case you somehow missed it, the release dates and prices for PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition have also been revealed, which you can read about through the link.

"We'll give everyone plenty of notice"
Looks like Sony games are priced at 70$.....super bummed
Also Geoff mentioned some retailers may open preorders today. Keep your eyes open !
Amazon UK has their links up but they're not live.
Dropping $500 on a system with barely anything to play?

Wow super vague .... At least tell me what time so I can be up and ready .... I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning at 8 am as I usually do and find out I was to late because pre-orders started at 1am or something .
Welp here we go.
My pre-preorder with shopto in the UK has just turned into an actual preorder. Processing to begin on the 13/11/2020
Price for the console I'm happy with. Not many launch games are crying out to me though so unsure what to do
Anyone able to confirm what launch titles actually are?
@roe - exactly - WTH, sony? it's gonna be a free-for-all tomorrow!
@severeatrophy Good to know, as I registered interest with them. Did you get notified by email? I've not had anything yet, and their site is currently fooked as far as logging in goes, presumably by everyone scrambling to get in the queue.
@Paranoimia Yeh im having the same issue too, I registered interest with them as soon as you could but no email or notification about it
@Paranoimia no email as yet, and your right about their site, but i kept trying and was able to log in to my account and check under preorders and the price has changed from 0.01 to 449.99. And processing to begin on the 13/11. So fingers crossed its confirmed.
this is the good amount of notice they said they'd provide, awful
@roe I'd imagine these are last minute changes as a result of the Xbox leaks last week. Got to get those PS5 preorders in before Tuesday morning which pretty much guaranteed a free for all around tomorrow.
@Akurusu cyberpunk, watchdogs legion, CoD, Assassin's Creed Valhalla etc etc etc
@Xaessya It’s one of the reasons being an early adopter isn’t always the best. I’ll wait until all the glitches and bugs have been patched out.
@Akurusu this is the ps5 page. Not xbox series x
I was firmly in the PS5 camp.
What happened to our preorder warning Sony.
What happened to we believe in generations.
You have lost my respect tonight.
@Razrye888 Are you talking about the comment I made regarding bugs and glitches? PlayStation isn’t perfect. I for one didn’t appreciate my PS4 ejecting my games on their own when I was in the middle of playing something.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I can play those on my PS4. Got anything else?
I remember when I woke up to pre-order Death Stranding Collectors Edition and it was already sold out. Might have to make this an all nighter.
@Akurusu Keep trying. Someone might listen to you, one day.
Game for us brits then.
What retailers is select restailers? What was that stupid signup all about? And i knew they'd get us to pay for those console subsidies with pricy games and accessories..... Everyone wants new but never asks what it costs.
@Dezzy70 "What happened to we believe in generations?"
What do you mean? If you're upset that they no longer believe in that for some reason, why are you switching to Xbox (based on your avatar)? Curious.
Eb games here in Australia have opened pre-orders. I got mine in! I was wearing a towel as I'd just come out of the shower as they went live, it was a real Homer Simpson moment haha
But I'm in, I'll be there launch day! Disc version for me
Because Sony have frustrated me tonight and have not been that transparent at all.
Well at least we found out now before preorders. Also I have game pass ultimate and a lot of Xbox one digital games.
It’s being well hell of a next generation ride with lots of flip flopping, we never got this before and I thought Sony believed in generations, well they don’t seem to now.
Also I have a PS4 Pro so not much to lose for a while.
And Being really honest my Pro sounds like a jet plane sometimes. Will the PS5 be any less noisy, Sony said it’s quiet, but they also said they believe in generations.
I don’t trust Sony now.
@Dezzy70 wow okay, I just noticed the articles about Horizon and Miles Morales. I can understand what you mean now. Disregard my earlier comment.
@Orpheus79V
It’s all cool.
Game in UK have opened preorders now.
*EDIT : Their homepage now says preorder in 5 days yet they are accepting orders??
*EDIT 2: 5 days now disappeared and preorders live. I wonder if preorders were originally meant to be Monday 21st, and Sony changed it last minute??
@severeatrophy Good to know. Cheers for the info.
@severeatrophy
Just had a look, site must be getting bashed as can't log in and use my £225 I've got on me GAME account thing. Or a cynical move so we CAN'T use points/reward/wallet etc??
@Skywalker1080p could well be I can't log in to my account either, though I can go right through the checkout process...
@severeatrophy they're just getting battered. I completed my.purchase using a guest login, I'll just amend it through customer service at later date to tie it to my account.
@Pinkman
Astro’s Playroom (pre-installed on PS5)
Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War
Demon’s Souls
Destruction All Stars
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Mile Morales Ultimate Edition
Sackboy A Big Adventure
Godfall
Cyberpunk
I'd really prefer to get it through Amazon, but if they aren't live tomorrow, I'll get it where its up and running.
Pre-order exactly what Sony?
No UI shown, we got PS4 legacy games and Demon's Souls for launch...
Nah. I will wait until you sell this properly.
Cant even believe im saying this but i think ill just wait a bit until some more games release.
I wonder if id be able to help myself if i actually had the money to spend lol.
@Rash If you’re suggesting I’m trying to troll then you’re wrong. I’m not gonna be an early adopter of a system with next to no original games on it. At the moment they are ports I can play on my PS4. Consoles almost ALWAYS have issues when they first launch, you can’t say that they don’t.
@Ridwaano
Excellent thank you.
@Akurusu Sounds like bad experiences if you ask me. My Launch PS3 is better, than my second PS3, that I bought a year later for another room. Ended up trading that one, for a white, PS3 slim and all though they both still don't have any issues, my original PS3 is still of better quality, all round. Most products always start off with the best of quality and slowly cut costs along the way. So I don't quite agree with your presumptions.
As for games, you do realize it will enhance all your PS4 games. My first purchases will probably be Control and Marvel Avengers, which I've held back till I get my PS5. Then there's Astro's Playroom and Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales, that also look cool. On top of that, PS Plus will give me the chance to play Persona 5 and Days Gone for free, since I haven't got those exclusives yet. Let's not forget all those third party games coming out at the same time, I don't see why you think it has next to no original new games, while games will still be coming out at a consistent pace.
All fine if you want to wait, but as for me, i"m really looking forward to all the next gen enhancements for games I've already held off playing.
I missed out on the preorders Wednesday night and all of Thursday...hoping to get lucky and secure a pre-order today while at work.
