Sony will “let you know” when PS5 pre-orders will happen

3.9
Sony has said it won’t put PS5 up for pre-order “at a minute’s notice.”

Earlier this week, rumors stated PS5 would be made available for pre-order this week, but Sony said not to expect such a surprise when it comes to dropping cash early.

Speaking to Geoff Keighley today during a Summer Games Fest stream where the PS5’s DualSense controller was shown off, Sony’s Worldwide Head of Marketing Eric Lempel said the company will let folks know ahead of time when they can pre-order the console.

“I think it’s safe to say we’ll let you know when preorder will happen,” said Lempel (thanks, IGN). “It’s not going to happen with a minute’s notice.

“We’re going to at some point let you know when you can preorder PlayStation 5. So, please, don’t feel like you have to go run out and line up anywhere until you receive official notice on how that will work.”

So, keep calm we suppose, Sony will let us know when it’s time to pre-order your PS5 ahead of its holiday release. Plus, hopefully, there will be plenty to go around as the platform holder is reportedly ramping up production of the consoles, and plans to make 10 million units before the end of the year.

Davi_J_Campbell What a utterly pointless post. Sony will let us know when pre-orders are available? Wouldn't be much point in not announcing it haha, what a waste of time clicking on this one


To be fair a lot of people are flapping because they've heard nothing on it. It's going to happen soon people just got to relax.

They need to let us the minute they know so the ones buying it can save their money if they need to.

FawhsMods Pre ordering will probably cost a lot more then purchasing it when it is out. I will probably wait depending on if i get the xbox or not.


Rather you pre order it or not its still the same price you're just reserving a system on release day instead of dealing with the hassle to actually find one later.

Hopefully they let people know soon so they can save up now instead scrounging last minute to get funds for it.
