Update: We’ve uploaded more photos showing the PS5 restocking in the works at Target stores across the US before Monday, both front (kiosks) and back (boxes in stock). Make sure to follow the Twitter tracker below to receive instant alerts.
TechRadar can confirm that Target employees are preparing for a restocking of the PS5 which is expected to take place tomorrow morning. An Xbox Series X restock would also be ready for the same online-only ordering process, employees tell us.
“We have about 8 Xbox consoles and 22 PS5 consoles,” we were told in a direct message on Twitter from a Target employee who wishes to remain anonymous. At three Target stores, employees told us there are more PS5 Disc editions and very little to no PS5 digital editions for Target’s impending restocking.
Target customers across the country are also seeing PS5 inventory appear on newsstands tonight ahead of the scheduled sale. Twitch streamer MyGuyMcFly took a photo and sent TechRadar a photo, seen below, showing 18 PS5 consoles in stock at a local target in Minnesota, suggesting they are ready for tomorrow morning.
I get a lot of pictures showing Target getting the PS5 disc ready for sale tomorrow. Additionally, three Target employees also said they have PS5 and Xbox stock for online purchase only (in-store).

The three employees we spoke to live in different parts of the United States, so there’s a good chance this is a nationwide replenishment. We saw something similar two weeks ago when the PS5 and Xbox Series X were sold online for in-store pickup. The consoles only lasted a few minutes before Target sold out completely.
Pro type: Target places orders online only, but allows in-store pickup. This means that some stores, especially those in large cities, will sell out faster. Try to adjust your pickup location if the nearest store is sold out.
The last time there was a major Target PS5 restock, it happened at 8:00 a.m. EST, so it’s best to be prepared to wake up early, even if you’re on the West Coast. However, there can be no assurance that Target will initiate orders at 8:00 AM EST.
TechRadar also has several photos of boxes in Target’s backroom showing Xbox Series X and PS5 inventory. We initially withheld these images until we could ensure that there were no marks that could be traced back to our sources.
You can do two things today. Check out the stores below and get alerts from our PS5 replenishment Twitter tracker.

The PS5 has been nearly impossible to find in stock for more than a few minutes every time stores restock the Sony console. We find that the same can be said about the Xbox Series X. Sony and Microsoft are launching their respective consoles in November 2020 and have not been able to manufacture enough to meet demand.
Stores like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy regularly add new inventory to their stores and the stampede of people coming to their sites often blocks pages.
