GameStop will have PS5 consoles in stock: According to a recent update on its website, PlayStation gamers who are having trouble finding a console might be able to find one at GameStop very soon.
PS5 bundles will be available at select GameStop stores tomorrow, January 27, 2012. The store locator feature will allow potential PS5 owners to check if they have one at their nearest GameStop.
GameStop says that both PS5 and PS5 Digital bundles will cost PlayStation gamers between $600 and $750. The PS5 bundles are only available to GameStop’s PowerUp Rewards Professional members.
This membership locks behind an annual rate of around $15. These bundles not yet shown, but PlayStation gamers can expect multiple attachments to the PS5, like a GameStop gift certificate and PS Plus subscription.
Bundles like the GameStop bundles have become more popular due to the continuing shortage of PS5 and Xbox Series X/S gaming consoles. They often sell quickly and are less appealing to scalpers.

As they wait for the next big release, some PS5 bundles include a few games that PlayStation players can play right away. GameStop offered Call of Duty Vanguard in the past. This game could be further explored with the PS Plus subscription.
GameStop will not stock PS5 bundles in all locations. GameStop also has no information on which areas they are likely to stock. Despite the lack of new-generation consoles, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S continue to sell exceptionally well.
Microsoft recently revealed that the Xbox Series X/S was its fastest-selling generation. The Nintendo Switch is also a success, with its lifetime sales surpassing those of the original PlayStation 4 and catching up to the Nintendo DS handhelds.
PlayStation gamers can expect to find the new DualSense controller in the bundle. Previous bundles included two. GameStop’s website teased an image that might show a DualSense, but this may be a way to highlight the advanced controller included with the PS5.
The contents of these GameStop bundles may be revealed at retail locations. They might also offer different versions of the PS5 bundles.
