We’re tracking the PS5 restock at US stores including Target, Best Buy, Walmart and GameStop with restock tracker Matt Swider.
The PS5 restock news today is grim with Sony execs officially stating that shortages of the new console will likely continue into 2022. But, there’s good news if you’re the persistent type: our PS5 restock Twitter tracker Matt Swider has been able to help 20,000 people find a next-gen console, according to his latest tally on Monday, May 10. He’ll send you a push notification – if you follow his Twitter account and turn on notifications – as soon as stores like Best Buy, Walmart, Target and GameStop in the US have the PS5 in stock. Here’s what we think for the rest of the week. We’re not expecting a PS5 restock today, Monday, May 10, outside a chance that Sony Direct could restart its virtual queue. No one has sources for Sony’s official retailer store for the PlayStation brand, and it doesn’t really matter. Sony creates a virtual waiting room before it opens up its virtual queue to buy the PS5, offering plenty of time to get in that virtual line. It just hasn’t done it since April 20. Instead, our focus for the rest of this is on Target and GameStop, as both American retailers didn’t have a PS5 restock last week. Less than a week ago, on Thursday, we saw both Best Buy and Walmart team up to launch their PS5 inventory. We usually get advance notice of a Target PS5 restock from both our sources, who help us check inventory levels at individual Target stores and warehouses, and the corporate sources of leaker Jake Randall. Every PS5 Target restock has been leaked accurately in 2021, as employees like to ensure gamers get a heads-up for their early more PS5 drops. It’s basically the opposite of what happens during an Amazon PS5 restock, where sources are much harder to come by at the company. The Antonline PS5 restock of the PS5 Disc console is due up next among the next-gen consoles the smaller, but reliable store drops every week.
