PS5 pre-orders may be limited to one per household, Sony code reveals

PS5 pre-orders could be limited to one console per household, code found on a Sony website suggests.

Redditor Kgarvey has found code on the PlayStation Direct website that reads, “You
can only purchase one version of the PS5™ Console: Disc or Digital. You have already added one PS5™ console to your cart.”

The move seems isolated to the PlayStation Direct website, so those looking for a second console could presumably pre-order through another retailer.

The user has also found code that will flag PS4 games as backwards compatible on PS5 — the banner simply reads “PS5 Compatible”. Kgarvey used the code and applied it to Days Gone to give an idea of what the banner will look like.

PS5 pre-orders are not yet available, though Sony has confirmed that users will get advanced notice before the big event. We’ll keep you informed as we learn more.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
