the PS5 is still the center of much attention at the start of June. The good news is that it is more and more possible to get the PS5, the proof with the restockings and the stocks of the day.
[Mis à jour le 7 juin 2022 à 09h48] The PS5 is still absent from the shelves for subscribers more than eighteen months after its release. Sony’s latest console is still a victim of the sharp downturn in the semiconductor industry, linked to the coronavirus crisis. A complicated situation for all those who wish to obtain a new console, and enjoy its game in 4K 60 fps and its SSD hard drive. If Intel does not expect this strange situation to return to normal until 2024, this does not prevent the many restocking of the console, especially at this time, which all buyers can take advantage of.
Stock monitoring for Tuesday, June 7 live
- 09:30: The PS5 is back at Super U
- 07:00: PS5 + Horizon Forbidden West bundles have arrived in stores Micromania.
- 07:00 : The PS5 is available for sale used and new at Rakuten at full price (see below), we will have to wait for other restockings.
If you are looking at all costs to get the Playstation 5, know that you can find it every time on the Rakuten site. Indeed, the e-merchant specializing in resale very often offers copies of the Digital or Standard console alone. It should be noted that these offers come from individuals, who offer the console well above its selling price. Indeed, to buy a new PS5 in store, it is necessary to count between 399 € for the Digital, and 499 € for the Standard. Keep these amounts in mind when visiting the Rakuten site. These purchases are reserved for highly motivated players who wish to avoid the great waltz of drops and restocking.

If you want to prepare effectively for the next restocking (which will probably take place this Tuesday morning), you can always consult the various tips, techniques and buying advice on our article below:
It is also possible to regularly find stocks of PS5 at Rakuten. However, the console is sold there at a high price. We only recommend this option if you really can’t get your hands on the PS5 at its base price (when it is available).
No PS5 until 2024?
The month of May starts with bad news that can be found in an article by CNBC. In a recent interview with Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of Intel, the newspaper posed the sore question, and asked for an estimated duration of the shortage of semiconductors which penalizes the computer markets, home consoles and of the automobile. The answer is not very reassuring:We believe the global semiconductor shortage will extend into 2024, despite our previous estimates (2023), as shortages are now hitting equipment and some production lines will be under severe strain.“Bad news for the home console and graphics card market.
