A new PlayStation 5 report in the UK has bad news for those still trying to get a PS5, at least in the UK, but if the UK has supply issues, it’s safe to assume that the US also has supply issues . More specifically, and according to a new report, many UK stores will not receive shipments of the PS5 until 2021. This is not to say that there will be no new waves of orders, as many retailers may remain seated. in some actions, however, if this is true, getting a PS5 in the UK is much harder, at least until 2021.
As the report notes, major retailers such as GAME and Amazon UK have not had the PS5 since the console was launched in November. Meanwhile, retailers like Argos and Smyths Toys have revealed that they won’t have shares until 2021, while Asda won’t have them until December 25, which means that even if you get a PS5 with the retailer, you won’t get until 2021.
Everyone in the UK should expect limited opportunities to grab a PS5 before 2021. Meanwhile, in the US, things aren’t going much better. While retailers like Walmart, Best Buy and GameStop have run PS5 replacements this week, many of those orders have been canceled while orders from previous weeks have yet to be fulfilled. In fact, in some cases, those who pre-ordered a PS5 this week are being told not to wait until spring 2021.
It’s a mess. And, just like in the UK, PlayStation fans should be prepared to wait until 2021 to get a PS5. Again, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any chance of capturing a PS5 before 2021, chances are there will be. But at this point, it looks like the odds will be against you more than ever, no matter where you are in the world.
