You want to know why the PS5 has been so hard to pre-order? Well, apparently, The King stole all of them. Thankfully, he'll be giving them out to some select folks as long as you eat his burgers.

Newsweek has provided more information today on the upcoming collaboration between Sony and Burger King which will see the fast food chain giving out PS5 consoles to select winners. Much like Taco Bell's ongoing promotion with the Xbox Series X, Burger King will give you the chance to win a PS5 with every purchase a two for $5 meal. This purchase will net you a "game token" which you will then earn on the Burger King app or website. With this token, you can then play a virtual scratch-off game where the prizes include PlayStation video game codes, Burger King coupons, or the PS5 itself.

As for when this promotion begins, it will kick-off later this week on Thursday, October 15 and will last for a little bit over a month until November 22. For those desperate to get a next-gen PlayStation that don't already have one locked down via a pre-order, here's what could be your best shot to obtain one at launch.

Last month, Sony announced that it would be releasing more PS5 pre-order units to select retailers around the globe, but since that announcement, restocks have only appeared a handful of times at certain outlets. With that in mind, I hope you're hungry for some hamburgers, because this sounds like it might be the only way Sony is giving out new PS5 consoles before release on November 12. Good luck.
