PS5 Slim and DualSense Anniversary Edition restock live: Latest on PS Direct stock drop

Update

There's still an hour left…

There is still an hour until the time listed on the store listing pages at 9:00 a.m. PDT. However, it is important to remember that the language on these pages encourages us to “check back on October 29th.” out of 9 a.m. PDT”. This could indicate that the stock is expected some time later and closer to the exact hour. Either way, it won't be long before we find out for sure.

To prepare, we recommend that you open the appropriate PS Direct listing pages in your browser tabs. Now is also a good time to make sure you're signed in to your PlayStation account and that all your payment information is up to date.

Don't forget your CD drive…

If you manage to snag the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary bundle today, don't forget to grab the compatible drive accessories.

A disc drive isn't included, so it's worth getting if you plan on playing a lot of physical games.

Luckily, the accessory is currently readily available at some retailers, but there's no guarantee that stock will last long. You can browse a range of offers below.

The PS5 Pro remains readily available

If you haven't quite managed to get your hands on the 30th anniversary gear yet but are still keen on the upcoming PlayStation pinnacle, keep in mind that the PS5 Pro is still available to pre-order at plenty of retailers.

With brand new features like PSSR and already confirmed support for a wide range of games, it looks like a great option if you want to push your gaming performance to the maximum.

But the DualSense is also a big deal

I love the 30th Anniversary DualSense controller and think it's an excellent addition to the overall 30th Anniversary collection – something many other fans agree, considering how quickly it sold out in the US when it was available , and how quickly it will also be available in the UK as soon as it appears in stock.

Its relatively low price (compared to the rest of the collection) as well as the ability to instantly integrate into a setup (everyone always wants a larger collection of DualSenses, right?) make it particularly attractive to many fans, so we'd be happy to see it We are also early ready to restock this item.

The PS5 Slim is the big attraction

The PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary Digital Edition console is a big attraction in this restock and is likely to sell out extremely quickly again.

It has a great retro aesthetic and comes with a drive cover in case you want to add a drive later – it's digital only as standard.

Below you'll find the main PS Direct link for the PS5 Slim 30th Anniversary console, as well as a number of other retailer inks you can use to check availability just in case.

Why we are here and what we know

This PS5 Slim 30th anniversary restock has only recently come to light, as both listing pages for the PS5 Slim bundle and the PS5 DualSense have changed in the last few days and include a “write it again” note .

Although we've almost completely given up on stocking up on more of the 30th anniversary collection in the US, it looks like we're taking another bite of the cherry today. Both pages will now display the message “Please check back on October 29th at 9:00 am PDT.” This is our clearest indication that stocks will be restocked in just a few hours!

As mentioned at the top of our article here, we don't expect any stock drops on other 30th anniversary items today, but we'll keep these links handy just in case. I would recommend doing the same if you are in the UK as stock declines can sometimes repeat.
