Both the $499 PS5 Disc and $399 PS5 Digital have been out of stock for more than a week. Here’s where to find it next.
The PS5 restock news today surrounds GameStop, and if you follow our PS5 restock Twitter tracker Matt Swider, you’ll get the next PlayStation 5 restock alert – if you follow his Twitter account and turn on notifications. Matt’s exclusive reports on the Best Buy PS5 restock offer the earliest news on when stores in the US will have shipments of the console, and GameStop will have the next in-store restock in select cities. Walmart and Target will continue to offer online restocks every few weeks, so it’s best to turn on notifications to get the first jump on the precise restock times because the $499 PS5 Disc and $399 PS5 Digital consoles sell out fast in 2021. Here’s how to know when the next PS5 restock will happen: This past week has been a good week for the PS5 restock opportunities in the US, especially if you followed Matt Swider ahead of the Best Buy in-store restock, the first time any major retailer has had the console in stores. GameStop didn’t have a PS5 restock this week because it’s doing the same thing that Best Buy did last week. GameStop is amassing inventory for an in-store restock in select cities around the United States. Right now, in 2021, it’s nearly impossible to buy the PS5 because of a global chip shortage. That’s why we’re laying out the potential PS5 restock dates and tweeting about them through our Twitter tracker. Best Buy had an in-store restock on September 23,2021, after it failed to have the console online for more than a month. It was odd because Best Buy stocked the PlayStation 5 almost weekly before that, so clearly it was changing up its strategy. This doesn’t mean the retailer will continue to have in-store restocks of the PS5. It may do what it does with the GPU restocks: alternating between online restocks through its website and in-store restocks on select Thursday mornings. Best Buy restock time online: The date is harder to nail down outside of the fact that it’s never in stock during the weekends or evenings. But the official restock time always falls between 9:37am EDT and 5:05am EDT, so destined for working hours in the US Eastern time zone.
