While we are still waiting for an official price and release date for the PlayStation 5, Sony is giving its fans with a “US based address” a chance to sign up to be one of the first people to pre-order the PS5.
If you go to the PS5 Direct Pre-Orders page on PlayStation’s website, Sony mentions that, “there will be a limited quantity of PS5 consoles available for pre-order, so we will be inviting some of our existing consumers to be one of the first to pre-order one from PlayStation.”
The reservations will be taken on a first-come-first-serve basis, so if you are selected, Sony “encourages you to follow instructions and act fast.”

Those who are interested to potentially receive one of these invitations can share their PlayStation Online IDs and, if selected, Sony will e-mail you the instructions to secure a PS5 a launch. So, make sure the e-mail attached to you PlayStation ID is up to date!
Sony also released a FAQ for these PS5 pre-orders, saying that the selection of who gets chosen for a PS5 pre-order is “based on previous interest and PlayStation activities.”
Those who are selected will be able to pre-order the following, if they choose:
- 1 PS5 Console or 1 PS5 Digital Edition
- 2 DualSense wireless controllers
- 2 DualSense charging stations
- 2 Pulse 3D wireless headsets
- 2 Media remotes
- 2 HD cameras
If you live outside the US, you can still register and have it shipped to a “US based address.” Unfortunately, any orders that contain a non-US based address will be cancelled. As of this time it’s unclear what Sony will do in non-U.S. territories, but we’ll update this story as more is announced.
