Ever since Sony’s PlayStation 5 console launched at the end of 2023, nabbing a person a tricky ask. The console was constantly sold-out at online retailers, brick and mortar stores would request you to put down a preorder, and purchasing one direct from Sony involved long queues. It was thanks to a number of reasons – the worldwide chip shortage, shipping delays, trade wars, and general COVID-19-induced madness.
But despite many of those issues continuing to exist, it seems Sony is far more confident in being able to deliver PS5 hardware stock in 2023, with the company announcing there is now an ‘increased supply of PS5 consoles’ inside a PlayStation Article penned by Isabelle Tomatis, Sony Interactive’s VP of Hardware and Peripherals.
‘Appreciate your patience once we navigated unprecedented interest in the PS5 console amid global challenges,’ the post reads. ‘If you're looking to purchase a PS5 console, you should are in possession of a much easier time finding one at retailers globally.’
A brief look on Amazon shows that, at the time of writing, the PS5 Digital Edition is within stock, out of the box the PS5 Controller Bundle (which will come with two controllers), as well as the God of War Ragnarok Bundle. The PS5 Disc Edition appears to be unavailable, however.
The announcement coincides with a brand new, broad marketing campaign from Sony Interactive Entertainment, which features a live-action commercial depicting several of its big-name franchises. A clip shows characters and scenes from games like God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Final Fantasy XVI happening in the real world, and being reported on with a news team.
A brief segment from the commercial also has many speculating that the new and unannounced Uncharted game is on the way, despite its primary developer, Naughty Dog, recently proclaiming that it was ‘done’ with Uncharted.
