Sony’s next-gen console PlayStation 5 or PS5 is slated for release Holiday 2020 and fans would be happy to know that a registration page for pre-ordering their PS5 console is now live on Sony’s official website. This is a registration page for pre-orders and not the actual pre-order page for the PS5 and you should keep this in mind while visiting the live page.
Sony has confirmed that there will be a major shortage of consoles at the launch of PS5 this holiday season and to cater to that, Sony will be inviting existing customers for a chance to secure their PS5 console right at the launch. This is the purpose of this new registration page. Upon registration, you will be required to enter their PlayStation Online ID and pass a security check in order to confirm their interest in a PS5 pre-order.
Once it is submitted, Sony will review your application and if you are selected, you will be invited to pre-order your PS5 console allowing you to secure your console right at launch. This is only because of the limited amount of consoles available for pre-order and the pre-order is an invite-only option. Registration does not guarantee that you will be selected for a pre-order. Your best bet is to still opt for your local hardware or gaming store and get in touch with them regarding securing a console early.
In addition, even if you get invited, you will be required to act quickly. The invite will have the detailed instructions on how you can proceed further with the pre-order. There is an FAQ page live as well that answes some of the generic questions and also confirms that each PSN ID will be able to pre-order only 1 PS5 console. We’ve detailed them below:
Who will be selected to receive an invitation?
Our selection is based on previous interests and PlayStation activities.
When will I know if I’ve been selected or not?
If you are selected, we will contact you via email before pre-orders start. If you do not receive an email, you were not selected.
If I receive an invitation, am I guaranteed to be able to pre-order a PS5 console?
No. Each invitation is open for a limited time and quantities are limited per PSN ID per transaction:
- 1 PS5 Console or 1 PS5 Digital Edition

- 2 DualSense charging stations

PS5 console pre-order reservations will be first come first serve.
In order to pre-order, do I have to pre-order everything?
No. As long as your product selection falls within unit limits, you may pre-order as many or as few products as you’d like.
