PS5 Restock updates for GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy and more

The PS5 was restocked yesterday at multiple retailers including GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon. Thursday was a big day for PlayStation fans, who have struggled to get their hands on the next-gen Sony console since its release in November 2020.

Since its launch, the PS5 has been restocked occasionally, but quantities have always been limited, while demand remains high. Yesterday was one of the few days since November where gamers have had multiple opportunities throughout the day to try and finally buy the PlayStation 5.

While some retailers have announced their restockings on PS5 ahead of time, giving PlayStation fans a warning, others have quietly released more consoles online without warning. Players are usually notified of new replenishments and drops as they occur through dedicated PS5 replenishment accounts on Twitter, as well as through top gaming accounts such as @ Wario64.

Find out below which retailers have released more PS5 consoles and the latest stock situations, as well as how to increase your chances of getting a PlayStation 5 when more become available.

GameStop released more PS5 actions on Thursday, including consoles and bundles. A bundle that has been released included Sackboy and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Moralesand a $ 20 GameStop gift card.
