Still haven't been able to find a PS5 pre-order? If you’re very lucky and love fast food, then you could get Sony’s next-gen console for free thanks to a Burger King sweepstakes.
Earlier this week we reported how Burger King teased the boot sound of the PS5, and we speculated that it could be hinting at a potential contest for the console. Turns out our guess was right.

As of October 15 in the U.S., Burger King customers who fork out on the 2 for $5 deal will have a chance of winning a PS5; that’s a heck of a prize for a mere $5 meal.
Of course, there are a few hurdles to jump before the U.S. Burger King fans get into the running for a free PS5.
First, you’ll need to register on the BK App or BK.com to participate in the promotion. Once that’s done you need to either purchase the 2 for $5 deal, or make a $5+ fast food order on the BK App, BK.com, or in-restaurant. Doing that gets you one game token.
Sony’s PlayStation blog warns that you must keep hold of your receipt if you make an in-restaurant purchase as you need that to enter the competition.
Once you have your game token you can then use it in a digital scratch-off game found in the BK app or on BK.com. Working much like a scratch-card in real life, the card will reveal whether or not you’ve won a PS5 console. Those less lucky, but still lucky enough, can win PlayStation game codes or Burger King coupons.
The sweepstakes runs until November 22, meaning you’ll still have a chance to win one for free after the PS5 goes on sale November 12. We’re not sure how good the chances of winning a PS5 are, so we’ll just have to wish you good luck on your next Burger King visit.
If you’re not willing to chomp through burgers, fries, and more to win a next-generation console then check out our PS5 pre-orders page to see if you can bag yourself a console ahead of its release.
