PlayStation 5 pre-order: Is it possible - and when? All info

The PlayStation 5 is eagerly awaited by gamers around the globe. The desire to pre-order is therefore only logical. Our guide explains what it looks like and what to look out for.

Lottery for pre-orderers: Sony expects a huge demand for the PlayStation 5.

After a long time there was no information at all in the matter of PS5 pre-order, at the beginning of September 2020 finally came movement in the matter - although not to the satisfaction of all interested parties.

PlayStation 5 pre-order? Pre-registration initially possible in North America

Here is the most important info on the situation:

• Sony launched a pre-order phase in September 2020, in which interested parties could apply for the pre-order.
• This is based on the random principle, since Sony initially can not produce enough consoles to meet the demand.
• It is thus a kind of raffle, whose lucky winners get the right to pre-order a PlayStation 5.
• Initially, this was only possible for gamers in North America. Potential buyers in Germany and other countries the registration is not yet available; whether that will change soon, remains to be seen.

The only option to stay officially up to date is currently the registration on this PlayStation page https://www.playstation.com/de-de/ps5/. If pre-registration becomes possible for pre-order in Germany, it is likely that you will hear about it directly this way.
