Fans of Sony have been anxiously awaiting more news about the PS5, as although a lot has been revealed, there is still much that is unknown. The big ticket items that fans can’t help but wonder about are release date and price of Sony’s next gen console, and now it seems it has a plan to reveal both of those things.
The exciting news comes directly from the PlayStation website, and confirms that registration is now open for PS5 pre orders. This isn’t the actual pre order yet, as there is still no indication of price or release date, but players wanting to get the PS5 as soon as possible will almost certainly have to go through this avenue.

Essentially, registering for this will enable the player to receive an email from PlayStation detailing what they need to do in order to pre order the PS5. It’s still unclear when these emails will be going out or how registrants will be selected for emails, though.
In addition to this, Sony revealed some new information about the PS5 pre order process, though most of this was already known or assumed. Notably, it does confirm that PS5 pre order supply will be limited at launch, meaning not everyone will be able to nab one on launch day. In order to do this as fairly as possible, players will need to have already registered and then respond to the email as quickly as possible. Registering doesn’t guarantee a pre order, as in the end it will be first come first serve.
The FAQ associated with PS5 pre orders gives a little more insight as to how the process will work. For starters, Sony claims that the selection of who gets a PS5 will be based on PlayStation activities associated with a user’s PSN account. More active users are probably more likely to be chosen. Quantities of items are limited for this pre order, as players can only purchase one PS5 and a select number of other PS5 accessories at first. Finally, these pre-orders must be shipped to a US based address. PSN users outside of the US can still register and qualify, but they must first ship their order to a US address.
Interested fans should follow the source link below to the registration page. All that is needed to get fully registered is a PSN account ID, and those that think they have a chance of being selected should keep a close watch on their associated email address within the coming days.
PS5 pre order registration is available now.
