PS5 Pro stock is scarce ahead of GTA 6’s Nov. 19 launch

Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, PlayStation Direct, Target and Walmart were all named as places to check. The article said each was out of stock online at the time, although Amazon and Walmart had third-party listings. PlayStation Direct listed the console at $899; the other retailers listed it at $899.99. GameStop also had pre-owned and refurbished units priced at $1,399.99, according to the article.

For new stock, the guide recommends checking retailer pages regularly and confirming that Amazon or Walmart orders are sold and shipped by the retailer. It advises shoppers to save payment and shipping details in advance, stay logged in, and avoid refreshing during a Best Buy virtual queue, which could reset a shopper’s place. It also suggests checking local store pickup and visiting Target, Best Buy or GameStop when stores open. PlayStation Direct limits orders to one console per customer when new batches go live, the article said.

Rockstar has said GTA 6 will run at 30 frames per second across consoles, with no PC version available at launch. The PS5 Pro is the only console getting sharper 4K visuals through PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and upgraded ray-traced shadows, according to the source. The console also has a 2TB drive; the game is expected to take up more than 210GB.

The article attributes tight supply to component shortages and rising memory costs that have slowed console production during 2026. It also advises against waiting for a Black Friday discount, saying Sony’s early holiday promotions have focused on games and accessories rather than console price cuts. Its guidance: buy a legitimate restock at the standard price rather than count on a sale.
