Do not go to the website at all until a tweet comes out and it will put you right in the queue, and possibly with less captcha issues. You need to clear cookies AND cache manually to bypass this, or use a new incognito window. If you are on and refreshing often, you can get session locked for up to 10 minutes where a queue will not even show up with a hard refresh. Possible way to avoid captchas: Stay away from the psdirect website.

The only benefit I could see is if one of your devices/browser windows gets lucky and doesn’t get a captcha repeat issue. The queues always progressed in the exact order I got through the captchas. I tried with 3 devices every time, each on a different network. Your queue position is not determined until you pass the captcha.

If I get in immediately upon the queue starting, I do not get full captchas and only have to click the check box once. In my experience it usually happens when I am just a few seconds too late. It’s a bad sign to get lots of captchas in a row. However, whether you get tons of captchas or recaptchas might be. PS Direct usually starts their queues weekdays between 3pm and 7pm EST. I have experimented and tried different methods for weeks, and finally got one on the 12/10/20 drop. As a result, you'll want to make sure your browser tab remains prominent, because if it's not you might miss your captcha challenge and you could forfeit your place in line.I’ll just share my experience from spending weeks to get one on Direct. It usually requires that you select a radio box. (A simple challenge/question to ensure you're not a bot). (For instance, after waiting 20 minutes on a previous PS5 restock event, our time was cut from 'more than an hour' to just 15 minutes).Īdditionally, you may be required to solve a captcha. Your status can rapidly change and you may have a shorter wait time than estimated. All wait times vary, and there's a good chance you'll have 'more than an hour' wait. Once you're on the virtual queue, you'll be given an estimated wait time. Of course, you can bookmark our page and we'll keep you updated on the latest PS5 restock news from Sony Direct and all major U.S. We can't guarantee they'll do this again Thursday, but it doesn't hurt to be online after the 12 p.m. Two hours after Sony's last invite-only drop, Sony Direct opened a PS5 queue for the general public.
