When PS5 Restocks Are Coming After Black Friday (& Where)

With Black Friday now passed, many who were yet again unable to snatch a PlayStation 5 during the post-Thanksgiving restocks are wondering if there will be any consoles available before the holiday season is over. The unprecedented demand for the new PlayStation 5 has left many in the dust as they battle against scalpers and online waiting queues for major retailer websites. However, the hunt might be over for those following restock information diligently, as more PS5 consoles will be available before the end of the year.

Currently, the best way to know if restocks are imminent is to keep up with retailer websites and social media accounts. Stores like Walmart have been especially good at letting those still waiting know when consoles will be available. One of the bigger issues that has buyers struggling comes from having to purchase PS5 systems online. Only a few stores, like GameStop, have allowed gamers to come in-person to purchase a PS5, due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Buying online often means battling internet connection, scalpers, and crashing servers on retail websites, only complicating the process for those attempting to purchase a PS5 console.

There is hope for those waiting for restocks, however, thanks to a tweet put out by Sony last week. The company says it intends to have more stock available at major retail stores before the end of the year. This is good news for those who want to purchase a PS5 safely from a reputable seller and avoid being scammed by scalpers selling consoles for inflated prices. While there are not yet definite dates for when these restocks can be expected, by keeping up with Sony and retail sites, those still waiting in line will be able to get the most recent updates.

We want to thank gamers everywhere for making the PS5 launch our biggest console launch ever. Demand for PS5 is unprecedented, so we wanted to confirm that more PS5 inventory will be coming to retailers before the end of the year – please stay in touch with your local retailers.

Sony Says PS5 Consoles Should Be Restocked By 2020’s End

As far as retailer announcements of restocks, Walmart Canada announced on November 26 that the retailer’s website will have more consoles on the way sometime after Cyber Monday. There’s no word yet from other regions’ Walmart stores on upcoming restocks, however, and other retailers have been less vocal about their inventories.

For those awaiting #PS5 and #Xbox restocks: Walmart Canada will NOT have stock during our Black Friday or Cyber Monday events. However, we can confirm that we’ll be releasing information on a date and time for an official ONLINE ONLY restock early next week. Stay tuned.

One of the reasons gamers are seeing a shortage in available PS5 consoles may simply come down to the “unprecedented” demand, as Sony called it, for the device. The PS5 outsold the Xbox Series X/S by nearly double on launch day, and, according to PriceCharting, Sony’s console is being resold by scalpers for hundreds of dollars more than the Xbox Series X/S, showing the value that has been put on the PS5 by resellers and fans alike. Gamers shouldn’t purchase from scalpers, however, as restocks will give them fair prices and guarantee that they are getting what they buy, in exchange for the wait.

The wait to finally buy a PS5 may be starting to feel like an impossible task for some gamers, but with news that restocks are intended to come before the end of the year, those still in line will hopefully get their PS5 in the coming weeks. The excitement over the new console and all the new features PlayStation 5 has to offer shows that, while the wait may be long, it will hopefully be worth it. In the meantime, gamers should continue to consult their local retail stores for restock information.
