This week’s PS5 resupply has yet to materialize. Despite Sony’s PS5 release, there have been no other significant drops.

Amazon, on the other hand, is taking applications for invitation-only PS5 restocks. Sony Direct invite-only restocks can still be applied for. Do keep in mind that signing up for any retailer’s invite-only drops does not guarantee that you’ll be welcomed. For the last few Sony restocks, the general public has been able to purchase them.

If there is any news of a PS5 resupply this week, we’ll be sure to keep an eye on Twitter. For this reason, we encourage you to bookmark this page and check back frequently for the newest restock announcements.

PS5 restock — latest news and rumors 

In the early hours of July 21, no PS5 restocks are available at this time. You can, however, join up for Amazon’s invitation list below.

A limited number of PS5 replenishment invitations are currently being accepted through Amazon. This is a significant departure from the retailer’s usual approach to the sale of PlayStation 5 consoles.

Similar to Target’s announcement, which may give gamers hoping for a next-generation console new hope: the retailer has announced major changes to the way it sells PS5 gaming systems. Retailer refill events are no longer held and instead individual stores will be able to sell goods when they receive it, so make sure you check your nearest location.

Please remember that Sony’s invite-only PS5 replenishment registration is still open (The last drop was June 28). You won’t get a console, but you can enter your email in the drawing for future Sony Direct console drops and possibly be selected for one of those as well.

Amazon PS5 restock date 

Sony recently informed investors that getting more PS5s into the hands of consumers is one of its top priorities. Sony intends to expand PS5 production to “never attained before” levels in the next months in order to achieve this. Restocks may become more frequent as the PS5’s production ramps up.

Best Buy PS5 restock date 

Nobody knows if or when Amazon will start selling PS5 consoles. Amazon PS5 restocks, on the other hand, are the most erratic. Amazon restocks tend to sell out in a matter of seconds, so plan accordingly. In order to get a console, you may wish to use this Amazon method. However, your chances of obtaining a console should improve now that Amazon is conducting invite-only restocks.

Now is the best time to examine Amazon’s PS5 inventory (opens in new tab)

Target PS5 restock date

Even though the PS5 was first released on Friday afternoons, Best Buy has been known to refill as early as Thursdays and even as late Sunday afternoons. As a result, there is no longer a recognizable pattern. Here are a few pointers to bear in mind: The PS5 and PS5 Digital are always $499 and $399, respectively, at Best Buy in the afternoon (between 12 p.m. ET and 3 p.m. ET).

It’s proven difficult to pin down exact supply dates for the PlayStation 5. This is due to the retailer’s proclivity to reduce inventory in specific geographic areas. Someone in Chicago could be able to find PS5 inventory at their local store, whilst people in New York might not be able to find any. In addition, Target performs early morning restocks at 8 a.m. ET on a regular basis. Despite this, the company’s most recent replenishment was gone in a flash.

Remember that PS5 replenishment availability may be localized or even restricted to a small number of retailers. Check the retailer listings on this page frequently, or bookmark this page and keep checking back frequently.

How to buy PS5: Essential tips 

You can increase your chances of getting the PS5 by using an Amazon technique that has been reported by multiple sources. This approach worked for us four times in a row, each time resulting in an Xbox One X in our cart. A PS5 should be able to use this (we tried it on an Xbox Series X). The following are some additional hints for PS5 retailers:

Prepare yourself: When you find a PS5 for sale, make sure you have all of your credit card information and two-factor authentication ready to go. You could miss out on a PS5 order if you’re tinkering about with your credit card while trying to locate it.

To begin, you’ll need to pick a retailer from the list we provided above. With so many options, purchasing a PS5 can become a bit of a hassle. We recommend that you keep an eye on the PS5 landing sites of a few large stores, such as Walmart and Amazon.

You can sign up for stock alerts, which will notify you when a merchant has PS5 restocks. We recommend that you sign up for the services offered by the retailers that are participating in the program.

Find the product page: Please double-check that you’re on the official PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition purchasing page. On a landing page, you may miss out on the arrival of new stock.

You should also sign in to any merchants where you may already have an account. If you see a PS5 for sale, this will expedite the process considerably. Today, it’s all about speed.

Don’t give up, keep refreshing: When everything seems to be sold out, it’s easy to lose hope when trying to locate PS5 resupply. But don’t be afraid to keep checking back to see what’s new; you never know what you’ll find. Also, keep an eye on this page for any changes to the supply of the PS5.

The subscription-based wholesaler merchants like Sam’s Club, BJ’s Wholesale Club, and Costco are also worth checking out (opens in new tab). Although you must pay a membership fee to shop at these stores, there is less competition for a unit because of this. Check out these spots regardless of whether or not you have to pay for a package. For the time being, there are no online listings for these retailers to check, but you might try your luck at each physical location to see if you’re fortunate.

This console generation has made it tough to commit to a next-generation purchase. However, as the holidays approach, it’s quite probable that Sony will catch up with individuals looking to acquire PS5s and make additional PS5s available for purchase.

Where to buy PS5: Avoid the PS5 scalpers

Scalpers are mostly to blame for the current PS5 console shortage. It appears that a small number of unscrupulous individuals are taking advantage of the availability of the PlayStation 5 by scanning retail locations for the console and then making a bulk purchase of several units.

You should expect to pay hundreds of dollars or perhaps thousands of dollars if you can get your hands on one of these highly sought-after consoles. Reselling 200 PS5 systems for more than $40,000 has been reported by Business Insider(opens in new tab).

This isn’t illegal, but it’s also not the most ethical thing to do. This is better than some people attempting to sell PS5 systems on eBay by just posting images of the console and tricking people into bidding when there was no PS5 on offer.

It may seem crazy to spend over $1,000 on a PS5, especially given the lack of depth in the launch game roster. With more people remaining at home due to the coronavirus outbreak, some PlayStation enthusiasts are plainly keen to get their hands on a new system to keep them entertained.

We strongly encourage you to steer clear of resellers like this, whether they are real or not. Even at $499, the PS5 is an expensive console with a limited selection of titles. This means that if you can wait until later this year, you will have a wider selection of PS5 games, as well as additional systems to choose from.

A note on PS5 restocks

It’s nearly impossible to track down PS5 restocks at this time. Unfortunately, despite our best attempts to provide you with timely information, we are unable to guarantee that you will have the means to acquire a PlayStation 4. Regardless, you can count on us to keep you apprised of any and all restocks as soon as they occur.
