Customers were allowed to join a queue for registering at 4 pm ET on Tuesday. Within an hour, Sony had sold out the PS5 restock, the Verge reported.

The PS5 with a disk drive was offered as a bundle along with the game "Horizon Forbidden West" at a price of $549.99. Given the console is priced at $400, the game was offered at a $20 discount off its price of $69.99.

Sony closed Tuesday's session down 0.82% at $89.03, according to Benzinga Pro data.
