Trying to buy the new PlayStation 5 Pro? While the first round of pre-orders sold out quickly, more stock of Sony’s newest console – as well as the 30th anniversary PS5 Slim – arrived with retailers yesterday, 10 October. The PlayStation 5 Pro launches 7 November for £699.99.
To help you find one, we’re tracking UK retailers to bring you the latest PS5 Pro restock updates as they happen. Follow our liveblog for all the latest stock drops, and be ready to pick one up while you can, as they’re almost certain to sell out again soon.
Last month’s stock drop also saw Sony release the limited edition PlayStation 30th anniversary collection, which included a vintage, PS1-themed version of the PS5 Slim. A very limited number of the rare consoles were made available, but we’re holding out hope that more units could be on the way.

The initial launch of the PS5 Pro was limited to Sony’s official store, but this week’s drop included retailers like Amazon, Currys, Argos and Very, giving you a better chance of picking up Sony’s latest console. We’re also predicting additional stock to be available at PlayStation Direct.
Below you’ll find a list of UK retailers selling the PS5 Pro, as well as the 30th anniversary editions of the consoles and DualSense controller. We’ll do our best to keep this as accurate as possible as the day goes on, but it’s always worth checking these retailers yourself as stock can appear and sell out very quickly.

Is the 30th anniversary PlayStation collection in stock?

Steve Hogarty
While you’ll have an easy time picking up a PlayStation 5 Pro pretty much anywhere, the limited edition PS5 Slim has sold out across all retailers in the UK and the US.
Launched as part of the 30th anniversary collection – which includes a PS1-themed PlayStation 5, controller and accessories in that bleak-yet-classic 90s grey – the limited edition PS5 Slim was snapped up quickly by middle-aged Sony fans (and let’s face it, some greedy scalpers too).
Thursday’s PS5 Pro restock saw a few more limited edition units appearing at EE, Very and Argos, but these have now sold out too. The fact that some new stock popped up yesterday gives us hope we could see a few more appearing today. We’re on high alert.
Where is the PS5 Pro in stock right now?

Let’s kick off with a quick recap of where you buy the PlayStation 5 Pro this morning. Sony’s latest console was announced in September with a 7 November release date and sold out quickly. Despite some scarcity early on, there’s been a healthy supply of fresh PS5 Pro stock arriving at the official PlayStation Direct store in recent weeks.
We certainly haven’t seen the sort of wild stock shortages that surrounded the launch of the original PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, when the Covid-struck supply chain saw the production of everything from cars to consoles grind to a halt.
Yesterday, the PS5 Pro had a wider launch across most of the usual retailers. Here’s where you can shop for one today.

Good morning! And welcome back to our live PlayStation 5 Pro stock tracker, where we’ll be scouring UK retailers for Sony’s latest new hardware.
We’ll be bringing you the best deals on the PS5 Pro, which saw a major restock yesterday, as well as live stock alerts for the more elusive 30th anniversary editions of the PS5 Slim and DualSense controllers. Stick with us to be the first to know when new inventory appears online.
Whatever happened to the 30th anniversary collection PS5 Pro?
Thursday 10 October 2024 21:29
Steve Hogarty
The 30th anniversary collection includes themed versions of the PS5 Pro as well as the PS5 Slim, but while we’ve seen a few restocks of the slim today, the pro version hasn’t made an appearance.
Sony made a limited number of the themed PS5 Pro consoles available on 26 September through the official PlayStation storefront, where they almost immediately sold out. Because so few exist, it’s unlikely we’ll see this console restocked any time soon. If you happen to see it for sale online anywhere, you can expect some scalper to have added a couple of extra zeroes to the asking price.
Where can you buy the 30th anniversary collection PlayStation Portal?
Thursday 10 October 2024 20:28
Steve Hogarty
The PlayStation Portal got a 30th anniversary collection makeover alongside the consoles and controller.
But, like the consoles, it sold out fast and hasn’t been restocked. Tale as old as time. You can grab a regular PlayStation Portal from Amazon, and imagine what might have been.
PlayStation Portal remote player: £194.81, Amazon.co.uk
The PlayStation Portal is a Nintendo Switch-style device that’s effectively a second screen for your PS5, letting you play your existing library of PS5 games on a portable display anywhere on your home wifi network – in bed, on the sofa, on the toilet (no judgements here) – freeing up your television for other people at home.
Can you buy the 30th anniversary PS5 from Smyths Toys?
Thursday 10 October 2024 19:29
Steve Hogarty
Like every other online store, Smyths Toys has sold out of the 30th anniversary collection PS5.
The retailer’s site claims that there are some consoles available in-store, though we’d take that with a pinch of salt. The store checker doesn’t list anywhere with the limited edition PS5 still in stock, but if you’re wandering through a Smyths Toys any time soon, it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
Here’s where you can still find a PS5 Pro in stock

Steve Hogarty
We’re about to start wrapping up our PS5 stock tracking liveblog for the evening, so let’s quickly run through the situation as it stands.
The following retailers have the PlayStation 5 Pro in stock at the time of writing.
The 30th anniversary edition of the PS5 slim appeared at these retailers earlier today, but they’ve since sold out.
Argos has sold out of the PS5 Pro
Thursday 10 October 2024 17:34
Steve Hogarty
Worrying news for anyone who thought there was an abundance of the new PS5 Pro floating around: Argos has just run out of Sony’s new console across several towns and postcodes we’ve checked.
This could potentially mean that stock is in short supply at remaining retailers, like Amazon and Very, so bear that in mind if you’re planning on buying the new PS5 Pro sooner rather than later.
Where to order the limited edition Fortnite PS5 controller

Missed out on the 30th anniversary DualSense controller? Well it isn’t the only limited edition pad in town.
Limited edition Fortnite DualSense controller: £84.99, Playstation.com
The official PlayStation storefront debuted a Fortnite-themed DualSense controller, which launches on 7 November for £84.99. Personally I think it looks hideous, but then I’m probably not the target demographic here.
Is the PlayStation 5 Pro worth it?
Thursday 10 October 2024 15:28
Steve Hogarty
Sony’s mid-generation refresh gives the PS5 Pro more computing power, meaning you can play games at their maximum graphics settings without sacrificing framerate. It’s not a generational upgrade over the regular PS5 and it won’t have any exclusive games (that is, every PS5 game will work on every PS5 console), so that £699 price tag might be tough to stomach if you’re an existing PS5 owner.
“The PS5 Pro is pure raw unfettered power, making it a big step up from the original PS5,” said our tech reviewer. “Boasting a larger GPU, Sony says that the console’s rendering power has been boosted by 45 per cent, enhancing game fidelity at high frame rates to make it run buttery smooth. The GPU has 67 per cent more compute units than the current PS5 console and 28 per cent faster memory.
The PS5 Pro launches 7 November.

Alongside launching the more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro, Sony recently debuted a fresh set of pearlescent covers for the console, which you can easily swap out for your existing panels.
Called the ‘chroma collection’, the panels are available in pearl, teal and indigo colourways. They’re exclusively available at PlayStation Direct, and will ship on 7 November.
What is the PlayStation 30th anniversary collection?
Thursday 10 October 2024 13:55
Steve Hogarty
To celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, Sony has launched a limited edition series of consoles and accessories with the legacy grey colour palette and the classic multi-coloured PlayStation logo. The hero product was the PS5 Pro 30th anniversary edition bundle, but it’s unlikely to be restocked.
Instead we’re seeing a few restocks of the PS5 Slim 30th anniversary edition, which sold out quickly. We’re on the lookout for more inventory, but you can check the retailer links in the post above too.
The throwback bundle includes the PS1-themed DualSense controller (complete with the old-style connector at the end of its charging cable), four PlayStation-shaped cable ties, a PlayStation sticker, a limited-edition PlayStation poster and a PlayStation paperclip. The bundle sold out within minutes.
The 30th anniversary collection PS5 is sold out at EE
Thursday 10 October 2024 13:19
Steve Hogarty
Having sold out already at Very, Argos and Amazon, the 30th anniversary PS5 slim has now sold out at EE.
That means Sony’s limited edition console is nowhere to be found online right now, unless you really want to get ripped off by a scalper on eBay.
We’re still looking out for fresh stock updates, and we’ll shout from the rooftops if the elusive console rears its little grey head again.
Will we see more stock of the 30th anniversary edition console?
Thursday 10 October 2024 12:33
Steve Hogarty
Stock levels of the new PlayStation 5 Pro seems to have stabilised, with good availability across a bunch of online UK retailers.
But what about the limited edition 30th anniversary PS5 slim? This elusive PS1-themed console is much more difficult to find online, with Sony only having made a few thousand of them. The initial batch of pre-orders sold out within minutes when the console was announced on 26 September.
Right now EE is the only place you’ll find the 30th anniversary console in stock.
So far this morning, three retailers popped up with fresh inventory. Amazon, Very and Argos each had the 30th anniversary PS5 slim on sale, where they sold out quickly.
That gives us hope that a few other retailers could launch more stock later today. We’re scanning the horizon for the merest hint of another drop, so stick with us for the latest updates.
The 30th anniversary PS5 is back in stock at EE
Thursday 10 October 2024 12:12
Steve Hogarty
EE has the limited edition 30th anniversary PlayStation as part of an exclusive bundle costing £539.
The bundle includes an extra DualSense controller (standard issue) as well the PS1-themed controller that comes with the limited edition console. There’s also a £50 gift card thrown in for good measure.
Right now this is the only place we’re seeing the PS1-themed console available, so act fast if you want to pick one up.
Here’s where the PS5 Pro is in stock right now
Thursday 10 October 2024 11:46

Let’s recap the retailers currently offering PS5 Pro pre-orders. All of these are priced at the RRP of £699.99.
There seems to be plenty of stock available across all of these sites. No retailer has sold out of inventory since the second batch of pre-orders launched earlier this morning.
EE just restocked the PS5 Pro
Thursday 10 October 2024 11:14
Steve Hogarty
EE is the latest UK retailer to launch its PlayStation 5 Pro pre-orders.
Unlike other sites, the network’s online store is offering bundles. You can get EA FC 25 and an additional DualSense controller available with a £20 overall saving.
The PS5 Pro is in stock at Amazon

Steve Hogarty
The limited edition 30th anniversary DualSense controller is now in stock at Very for £69.99.
These rare pads sell out quickly, so act fast!
Where is the 30th anniversary DualSense controller in stock?
Thursday 10 October 2024 10:12
Steve Hogarty
The limited edition, PS1-themed DualSense controller sold out in seconds when it was first announced back in September.
Unlike the PS1-themed console however, we’ve seen the controller come back into stock a few times at retailers like Amazon and Very. Today’s big restock should include the 30th anniversary collection DualSense controller. If it does, we’ll let you know all about it.
Looking for a regular PlayStation 5? Here’s a £50 discount
Thursday 10 October 2024 09:53
Steve Hogarty
Not fussed about all this limited edition business?
The official PlayStation store is offering a £50 discount on the standard-issue PlayStation 5 Slim this week. The deal brings the price of the console down to just £429.99.
30th Anniversary Edition PS5 appears at Very
Thursday 10 October 2024 09:42
Steve Hogarty
Very could be getting a restock of the 30th Anniversary Edition PS5 any minute now.
The retailer’s pre-order page just went live, but the site is currently showing no availability for the limited edition console. We’ll keep checking for more stock.
These retailers all have the PS5 Pro in stock
Thursday 10 October 2024 09:34
Steve Hogarty
Here’s a quick round-up of the retailers currently offering PS5 Pro pre-orders.
Trying to find the 30th Anniversary collection? Argos briefly had stock of the themed PS5 Slim this morning, but it quickly sold out. We’re doing our best to track down more.
The PS5 Pro is back in stock at Very
Thursday 10 October 2024 09:25
Steve Hogarty
Ignore our last update about Very not coming through with any stock – in the last few minutes the retailer has made more PS5 Pro consoles available to pre-order.
Very launches its PS5 Pro pre-order page
Thursday 10 October 2024 09:21
Steve Hogarty
Online retailer Very has just opened up its PlayStation 5 Pro pre-order page, though right now there’s no actual stock of the console available to buy.
We’re likely to see more inventory arrive at Very as the morning goes on, so we’ll be keeping a close eye on the retailer for more updates.
Argos sells out of the PS5 30th Anniversary edition
Thursday 10 October 2024 09:04
Steve Hogarty
We’re no longer seeing stock of the 30th Anniversary edition PS5 Slim at Argos – at least not in our own postcodes.
We’ll keep refreshing the retailer’s pre-order page to catch any more inventory if it arrives.
Argos restocks the PS5 30th Anniversary edition
Thursday 10 October 2024 08:41
Steve Hogarty
Well this is more like it – Argos has just opened up pre-orders for the limited edition PlayStation 5 30th anniversary edition console.
The rare throwback edition of the PS5 sold out quickly when it first appeared back in September, so act fast to have any chance of picking one up.
PS5 Pro pre-orders are open at Currys
Thursday 10 October 2024 08:35
Steve Hogarty
Currys has kicked off its PlayStation 5 Pro pre-orders this morning.
Like Argos, it’s selling the console with a DualSense controller for £699.99 – no sight of any special bundles or discounts just yet.
PlayStation Direct drops more stock
Thursday 10 October 2024 08:25
Steve Hogarty
PlayStation Direct is also selling pre-orders of the new pro-edition console this morning.
The official storefront has had some stock of the PS5 Pro available since it was first announced on 26 September, so no great surprises there. We’re holding out hope that we’ll see some more inventory of the 30th Anniversary accessories later today too.
Argos is first out of the gates
Thursday 10 October 2024 08:18
Steve Hogarty
And we’re off! Argos is the first UK retailer to open up pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 Pro in the UK.
The retailer is selling the PS5 Pro console with DualSense controller for £699.99, with a delivery date of 7 November.
