© Provided by TechRadar Walmart PS5 restock dateUpdate:There was no Walmart PS5 restock today, as we had anticipated, according to Matt Swider, our console restock Twitter tracker expert. There's potentially a Best Buy restock tomorrow, but that's far from confirmed.
There have been five PS5 restock updates this week: GameStop, Antonline and three drops from Newegg. There was no Target or Walmart PS5 restock for April 8, and we're haven't been able to confirm that there's a Best Buy PS5 restock on Friday, April 9 with our warehouse sources. We're also looking out for random PS5 drop times from Sony Direct, Amazon, Costco and Sam's Club.

When will PS5 restock in the US?
New PS5 restock dates happen every week, and we issued alerts on April 6 for stores in the US: GameStop, Antonline and Newegg. Our PS5 Twitter tracker also let people know that there was no PS5 Target restock happening this week.
A Best Buy restock could happen tomorrow, April 9, although even this date isn't confirmed yet. Where else? Sony Direct hasn't had a restock in over two weeks; the official PlayStation store never shows signs of when it'll restock, whereas Walmart always gives us a heads-up.
That's why we set up our PS5 restock Twitter tracker – it's only getting harder today.
Best Buy PS5 restock date and time
- Best Buy PS5 restock date: maybe Friday, April 9 just after 12pm EDT
- Last Best Buy restock date: two weeks ago – Friday, March 26
- When it's in stock: Best Buy PS5 Disc | Best Buy PS5 Digital
- Wait time: Online orders, in-store pick up 3-5 days later

Ps5 Restock Alerts Twitter
It's not confirmed, but the next Best Buy PS5 restock date and time may be Friday, April 9 at 12pm EDT / 11am CDT / 10am MDT / 9am PDT, according to the big-box retailer's past patterns. Best Buy had a rare miss this last Friday, April 2 and some of its warehouses haven't been able to confirm to us that they have inventory (some still have zero PS5 consoles in stock). Two weeks ago, Best Buy only had PS5 Disc for $499, no inventory of the PS5 Digital for $399.
Best Buy has a Friday launch window of 12pm EDT to 3:15pm EDT (we haven't seen it later than that) and hasn't done a PS5 restock over the weekend in 2021. Our Twitter tracker has always picked up on when they 'add to cart' button goes live. In fact, we were able to run an exclusive report ahead of the official time thanks to sources at Best Buy warehouses regarding inventory.
Here's our PS5 restock tracker alert from Friday March 26:

Target PS5 restock date and time
- Rumored restock date: maybe Thursday, April 15 at 7am EDT
- Last restock date: Wednesday, March 31 at 7:40am EDT
- When it's in stock: Target PS5 Disc | Target PS5 Digital
- Wait time: Online orders, in-store pick up same day
It seems like there won't be a Target PS5 restock this week, according to our sources and the fact that YouTuber Jake Randall hasn't geared up a live stream for the event. That means you shouldn't stay up for an early morning Target restock.
We checked with Target stores and warehouses sources to see if there was a chance of a PS5 restock for Thursday, April 8. No, there's not enough inventory on hand, at least at those stores and regional distribution centers. In other words, wake up for the 7:40am EDT / 4:40am PT PS5 drop time at Target.
Here's what our Target PS5 restock alert looked like last time (March 31 example shown):

Sony Direct date and time
- Next restock date: Happens randomly weekdays – usually afternoons
- Last restock date: Tuesday, March 23 at 5pm EDT
- When it's in stock: Sony Direct PS5 Disc | Sony Direct PS5 Digital
- Wait time: Online-only, ships very fast
The Sony Direct PS5 restock can happen any time this week, usually in the afternoon. Sony Direct hasn't had the PS5 in stock since Tuesday, March 23 at 5pm EDT – it took all last week off and most of this week so far.
That means Sony Direct is overdue for a restock, and this could be the week. When it is back in stock, there's good news: Sony requires a PSN account and restricts orders to one console per address, limiting resellers. You have a good shot at winning this lottery of sorts.
Here's what our Sony Direct PS5 restock alert looked like last time (March 23 example shown):

Sam's Club PS5 restock
- Possible restock date: Happens randomly on weekdays (any time)
- Last restock date: Tuesday, March 23
- Wait time: Online orders, average one week shipping
Sam's Club just had a Microsoft restock this week and the last time we saw one for Sony, it was a surprise PS5 restock at 1am EDT on March 23. That off-putting time made it stay in stock way longer than normal: a whole four minutes. That's a lifetime in the console restock world.
Sam's Club, unlike Best Buy and Walmart, doesn't do frequent restocks or stick to a time schedule. So it's important to follow our PS5 restock tracker for this store. While you don't have to be a member of Sam's Club to buy PS5, you will get charged a fee or use a temporary membership to purchase the Sony console.
Here's what our Sam's Club PS5 restock alert looked like last time (March 23):

GameStop PS5 bundle restock date
- Last GameStop date: Tuesday, April 6 (afternoon)
- When it's in stock: GameStop PS5 consoles and bundles
- Wait time: Online only, no in-store pick up or ordering
- Get alerts: Follow our Twitter tracker
There was a surprise GameStop PS5 restock on Tuesday, April 6, with a 45-minute wave of new Sony console stock. It wasn't an easy get; most people who tried to find it were met with error messages. We saw an easier restock on the morning of Friday, April 2 – maybe these were leftover consoles?
GameStop usually does a restock every week to week-and-a-half, so you won't have a new restock this week. Hold out for next week or the week after. You may dislike the higher price of GameStop bundles, but the retailer offering everything at face value and the bundles slow down resellers who have a harder time profiting from extras.

Walmart PS5 restock date
- Rumored Walmart date: maybe as late as Thursday, April 15 at 3pm EDT
- Link for when it's in stock: Walmart PS5 Disc | Walmart PS5 Digital
- Get alerts: Follow our Twitter tracker
The next Walmart PS5 restock date could be as late as Thursday, April 15, according to the retailer's pattern of launching consoles every other Thursday for a month and then taking an entire month off. The last time we saw the Sony PS5 back in stock at Walmart, it was Thursday, March 18 at 3pm EDT and we know Walmart is behind of shipping out current orders, so while we could see it sooner, we think this is a solid date to start looking again.

Antonline PS5 restock date
- Next PS5 restock date: Likely next week
- Last PS5 restock: Tuesday, April 6
- PS5 restock date before that: Tuesday, March 30
- When it's in stock: Antonline PS5 bundles
- Wait time: Online-only, ships very fast
The next PS5 restock at Antonline may be next week, with the retailer promising to do weekly drops of next-gen consoles. These are always in the form of loaded PS5 bundles, so the price is higher, but it's easy to snag the console that way.
Antonline sell out of PS5 in three minutes, but when it goes on sale, there are no waves or in stock/out of stock funny business with the add to cart button.
Here's what our Antonline restock alerts look like:

When is the Amazon PS5 restock?
- Potential date: Unknown
- When it's in stock: Amazon PS5 Disc | Amazon PS5 Digital
- Wait time: Online orders, obviously, ship fast unless backordered
- Get alerts: Follow our Twitter tracker
This is the $499 question: when will PS5 restock at Amazon? The retailer was said to be ready to go live with 46,000 consoles in its inventory, according to our sources at its warehouses. However, we haven't seen the retailer update its PS5 Disc and PS5 Digital Edition pages beyond what third-party resellers are offering at outrageous prices. New: We're told that the Xbox may drop sooner than the PS5, even though Amazon just had a small round of Microsoft consoles for sale two weeks ago.
You didn't miss it. Amazon PS5 restock was scheduled for today 14:00 UTC (10am ET). Could drop any time – it's up to Amazon. Best Buy last Fri was 3hrs late on me. Everyone doubted then too.The good news? Amazon has a 46,000 PS5 inventory–just waiting. I'll ping u. Info is free pic.twitter.com/c7UGidMjSKMarch 18, 2021
Costco
- Next restock date: Happens randomly on weekdays
- Last restock date: March 9
- Wait time: Online orders, average one week for shipping
The PS5 restock at Costco goes quickly, even though the retailer only offers the new console to its members. That really tells you how strong demand is for PS5. It often has reasonably priced PS5 bundles, so it's no wonder it sells out in four minutes, according to our PS5 restock tracker. The good news is that Costco is overdue for a Sony console restock.

TechRadar will continue to report on PS5 restock information as the news breaks. We'll keep this page updated with the most relevant data regarding Sony's console and when it's back in stock. Time is always a factor, so knowing when PS5 will be in stock at Best Buy and other retailers give you a better chance to buy it in April, rather than having to wait until the summer of 2021 – or even later this year.
