PS5 restock confirmed for Tuesday — find out where and what time - Tom's Guide

However, Sony Direct has announced that it will be offering a fresh chance to purchase the console later today (April 13) at 12 p.m.

In addition, there's a small chance Sony Direct will have PS5 stock for the general public after its VIP only console drop. .

In order to get exclusive invites from Sony Direct, you'll want to have an active Sony Direct account and make sure you have notifications set to "yes." Creating a Sony Direct account is easy.

Once you've set up an account, you'll want to add your address and billing info.

To turn on notifications from Sony Direct, you'll want to sign into your account, click on "My Profile," and then click the "edit" button from your profile page.

From within that page, choose "notifications" from the left column and then make sure you opt-in to receive news and special offers from Sony. .

Keep in mind this trick doesn't guarantee you'll get an invite in time for Tuesday's PS5 drop, but it should increase your chances for the next exclusive Sony Direct PS5 restock event. .

The last time Sony held an invite-only PS5 restock was back in mid-March.

Minutes after the invite-only event wrapped up, Sony Direct opened a PS5 queue for the general public.
