PS5 GAME UK restock: Surprise PlayStation 5 stock drop available today
PLAYSTATION 5 consoles are tipped to to return to GAME this week, as the retailer makes some behind-the-scenes changes to its website.
UPDATE: Fans are encouraged to check out the GAME website between 9-10am this morning.
The belief is that GAME will release a smaller batch of stock to cover cancelled orders from the previous stock drop.
"GAME likely to release small PS5 stock which was cancelled due to bugs & failed payments, 9-10am today or tomorrow," reads a PS5 UK Stock - Instant Updates tweet.
ORIGINAL: PS5 restocks are coming thick and fast this week, after Amazon, AO, John Lewis and ShopTo all make stock available for customers.
However, in a surprise twist, there's also a chance GAME could restock the device, despite dropping a huge amount of consoles last week.
According to the ever-reliable PS5 UK Stock account, GAME has made some changes to its website.
Not only have the PS5 release dates been tweaked on the site, but the company has updated its list of PlayStation 5 bundles.
This is usually a sign that consoles are about to go on sale, perhaps as early as Thursday, May 20.
"Exclusive: GAME have just changed the release dates from 21st May to 28th May," reads a PS5 UK Stock tweet. "We reported they were updating the listings yesterday and removed bundles.
"Suggests they could release a second round with cancelled orders as soon as tomorrow, Thursday 20th."
