Look, I don’t have to tell you that trying to pre-order a PS5 or Xbox Series X has been a bitof a nightmare. Regardless of how the two console manufacturers handled the initial pre-order rollout, the internet melted down, leading to tons of frustrated players. Fortunately, if youmissed outon the first run of PS5 pre-orders, you’re about to have another chance to grab one tomorrow viaWe are pleased to announce that further quantities of PS5 consoles will be made available to pre-order athttps://t.co/hfsGYTcy0Vand in GameStop stores tomorrow, Friday 9/25.pic.twitter.com/EbRMkAe5RW— GameStop (@GameStop)July 14, 2025" target="_blank" rel=“noopener noreferrer”>Gamestop.

It’s not immediately clear if Gamestop is the only retailer putting out a new batch of PS5 pre-orders tomorrow.Sonydid announce last week that they’re releasing more units to retailers. So, over the course of today, we might hear about other stores like Wal-Mart and Target opening their allotment up as well. That said, for now, it looks like Gamestop is your best bet if you’re hoping to get a PS5 this weekend.
It’ll be interesting to see how retailers handle this second wave of pre-orders. Both next-gen consoles had terrible initial pre-order runs. You’d hope to see stores find a way to smooth out the process. Personally, I got my PS5 pre-order directly from Sony through their “exclusive offer” program. For that one, you were entered in a queue and it seemed to work relatively well from my perspective.
Only time will tell if Gamestop has any plans to make this a more customer-friendly process. Their initial tweet didn’t mention anything, so, at this point, I would expect another round of madness. Make sure to keep your eyes on Twitter. If any other stores open their pre-orders, that will likely be the first place you can find out about it. Good luck out there!
