Key Takeaways:
- PlayStation is restocking 30th Anniversary items in select regions only, starting in September 2025.
- PS Plus subscribers in select areas will get early access to pre-orders.
- The U.S. is not included in the official restock—for now.
- Expect original pricing and possibly new anti-scalping measures
In an exciting update for collectors and PlayStation fans, Sony has confirmed a restock of select items from its 30th Anniversary Collection. The limited-edition DualSense Wireless Controller, PS5 Digital Edition Console Bundle, and PlayStation Portal will soon return to stores in several global regions—offering gamers another chance to grab these nostalgic, PS1-inspired devices.
Restock Confirmed for Canada, UK, Australia, and More
PlayStation’s official channels confirmed the restock will roll out across Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, though no U.S. release has been officially announced yet. Pre-orders begin as early as July 23, with PS Plus members in the UK, France, and Italy getting early access starting July 21.
- Canada: Pre-orders open July 23, restock hits shelves September 9
- UK: Pre-orders start July 23 (July 21 for PS Plus), restock lands September 29
- France, Ireland, Italy, Japan: All set for September 29 launches
- Australia & New Zealand: Stock returns in November 2025
This second wave follows the lightning-fast sellout of the original release in 2024, where the 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro sold out in seconds.

Pricing and Anti-Scalper Measures
If Sony maintains original pricing, fans can expect:
- DualSense Wireless Controller: $79.99
- PS5 Digital Edition Bundle: $499.99
- PlayStation Portal: $219.99
Scalpers dominated the initial launch, with resale prices skyrocketing. Sony responded in Japan by requiring active PSN accounts for purchases—a measure that may return this time to curb bots and resellers.
US Availability Still Unclear
While the U.S. was notably absent from PlayStation’s official announcement, fans may not be completely out of luck. Industry insider Wario64 spotted a now-deleted post by PlayStation US hinting at a restock, but Sony has yet to confirm. Many are holding out hope for a surprise announcement or stealth drop in the weeks ahead.
More Limited Editions Incoming
Beyond the 30th Anniversary collection, Sony has teased other upcoming themed bundles, including the Ghost of Yotei PS5, set to debut later this year. With collector demand at an all-time high, 2025 is shaping up to be a major year for special-edition PlayStation hardware.
