You'll be able to play as Aloy, take part in a LTM event that pairs her up with Lara Croft, and take part in a special tournament.

The content will go live in Fortnite on April 15.

While stock levels are still very low, there's a small chance that GAME and Argos stores have PS5 consoles available in store today.

The message from Sony is that stock should still be sold online only, but small numbers of units are still trickling out to be picked up at stores.

Otherwise, it sounds like the PS5 consoles stock shortages are even worse than we expected.

Now, GAME has changed their console listings online to suggest that they won't be getting stock until the end of May.

As for the US, anyone with a special invite will be able to try and get a console from PlayStation Direct on Tuesday, April 13 at 12pm PDT.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait for later in the week.

Walmart is rumoured to have a stock drop ready for this Thursday.

The Final Fantasy XIV open beta is the only new game to launch on PS5 today, so you can download that if you'd like to jump in.
