While there’s still a lack of information, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a way to be notified of when pre-orders become available. Several retailers, includingBest BuyandGame(a UK-based store) are now offering pre-order notifications to alert users to the moment thePlayStation 5 becomes availablefor pre-order. It’s likely a service that will be appreciated by fans, as the PlayStation 5 could potentially fly off store shelves and leave players who weren’t quick to pre-order wanting.
While the specifics regarding the PlayStation 5 are still largely a mystery, that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been myriads of leaks and rumors swirling around the next-gen system. It’s rumored that thePlayStation 5 may be backward compatible, for starters, and multiple images of dev testing kits have appeared online. The console wars are sure to continue, too, as comparisons between the Xbox Project Scarlett and PS5 continue to rage with rumors claiming that the PS5 can play games better than Project Scarlett.
Game developers are ready for the PlayStation 5’s official reveal, too. The developers of games that are being or have been developed for the current generation of systems, likeCyberpunk 2077andControl, have talked about how the next system will play the game even better than the PlayStation 4. Future games are also rumored to already be in development for Project Scarlett and thePS5, includingResident Evil 8andGrand Theft Auto 6.
For now, gamers will have to wait until Sony is ready to place the PlayStation 5 on pre-order. This isn’t likely to happen for a while yet, as the console hasn’t even had an official reveal in the public eye, but with these pre-order pages fans will be ready when it does happen.
