When Sony announced pricing details for its next-generation game console on Wednesday—confirming that the standard PS5 would cost $499, while a Digital Edition without a disc drive would cost $399—it officially stated that preorders would begin on Thursday, September 17.

Anecdotally, a couple of Ars writers were able to secure orders from Walmart shortly after the retailer set preorders live, but only after several cart refreshes, and only because they acted within the 30 minutes or so that the device was actually available.

Amazon, meanwhile, set their preorders live late Wednesday around midnight ET, only for consoles to sell out within a similarly brief timeframe.

As of this writing, Amazon lists both devices as unavailable, while Target's listing tells customers that preorders have sold out completely and to check back on the console's release date.

Console launches tend to be underwhelming in terms of what's actually available to play, and we've yet to test anything that has been advertised.

Sony has confirmed marquee games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure will arrive on the existing PlayStation 4, too.

Apart from the usual suspects below, we'll note that Sony itself is expected to sell the console through its PlayStation Direct store, though it's not available as of this writing, and the initial wave of preorders may be limited to those who were selected by the company as part of the preorder registration program it announced last month.

Below are the games Sony has confirmed to arrive with the PS5 on launch day.

Those who subscribe to the company's PlayStation Plus online service, meanwhile, will get access to the "PlayStation Plus Collection," a catalog of popular PS4 games that will be playable on the PS5 at no added cost.
