PS5 UK restock schedule for August includes Amazon, John Lewis, and Argos

All the major UK retailers are getting new stock of the PS5 this month and some of them as early as this week.

July was a pretty good month for PlayStation 5 stock, with most retailers getting in more than one wave. It already seems as if they’ve got more planned for August, with some stores expected to offer consoles for sale as early as this Tuesday.

Stock checkers PS5 UK Stock – Instant Updates and PS5 Stock UK are both predicting new waves of console availability in the next few days; although, as always, they’re only estimates, since few stores ever make an official announcement.

The following combines predictions from multiple sources and it may be that more specific times and dates are available later in the month, but this is the most accurate heads-up available at the moment.

Asda – Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th (8 to 10am)
John Lewis – Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th (7 to 8am)
Very – Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th (9am to 12pm)
Argos – Tuesday 3rd to Friday 6th 10th (1 to 4am)
ShopTo – Tuesday 3rd to Wednesday 11th
Smyths – Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th (8am to 11am)
AO and Amazon.co.uk – Thursday 12th to Thursday 19th (8 to 10am)

The times are based on when these retailers have previously released new stock, which given the PlayStation 5 has been out for over six months now has become quite predictable.

Most of these stores are expected to get at least one more wave of stock this month, which looks to be the pattern going forward for the rest of the year – perhaps even increasing to three a month nearer Christmas.

The only major retailers without a prediction at the moment are GAME and Currys PC World, although they’re likely to get two drops this month as well.
