Explained: Latest PlayStation 5 stock update

Thanks to COVID-19 complications, semiconductor shortages and overwhelming demand, the PlayStation 5 has remained extremely sought after for almost a year now.

So, are stock shortages becoming more infrequent - and will the PlayStation 5 be more readily available heading into the holiday season?

In short, yes - hopefully. 

The latest word on stock shortages actually came straight from Sony, who noted in a call to investors in August that it should be able to produce 12 million PlayStation 5 units before the end of the current fiscal year - 31 March 2022. 

This relates back to the semiconductor shortage that plagued the industry since the pandemic began.

How quickly it can start delivering this new wave of consoles remains to be seen, of course, but the hope is that the worst of the shortages are over.
