PS5 restock update: when to look for the next console restock today PS5 stock Sony

• February 16, 2021

There’s a good chance we’ll see a PS5 restock in the US later today, Tuesday, at Sony Direct, the official store of the company behind this hard-to-buy PlayStation. 

As we predicted, the PS5 wouldn’t be on sale yesterday, Monday, due to a US holiday and the fact that Sony has consistently stuck to a Tuesday through Friday schedule.

Give us a follow for more real-time PS5 restock Twitter updates and check out the stores list below.

The pattern: Last week, we saw PS5 become available through Sony Direct four times, starting on Tuesday. That’s been the steady pattern, and we don’t expect it to break, as Sony tries its best to resupply its own official Sony Direct store as well as retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Target and others.

PS5 restocks at Sony Direct: consistent but not guaranteed

The best advice we have is to check every major store below for those random PS5 restocks, especially Sony Direct every Tuesday through Friday. We’ve seen restock times anywhere from 9am EST to 7pm EST.

However, that doesn’t guarantee Sony Direct will have PS5 in stock every week. In January, we saw Sony Direct stay silent for entire weeks coming back from the New Years holiday. In February, though, things appear to be back on track.

GameStop and Walmart has done a few PS5 restocks in 2021, often announcing it an hour or two beforehand. Note that GameStop pushes PS5 bundles, so you’ll need to buy an extra controller, two games and a gift card (or something of that nature) at a higher price than the usual $499 for the PS5 Disc version or $399 for PS5 Digital. You could be spending as much as $750 after state sales tax.

But GameStop remains a worthy source of the PS5 simply because resellers aren’t able to profit as much off of bundles. It’s difficult to resell the system at an inflated price when you also have to include extras like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and NBA 2K21 at full price, too. So you often have much more time to check out there.

As always, we’ll be continuing to alert you of the next restock when it happens in the US. The PS5 restock time is always a mystery, but the Tuesday through Friday time frame does narrow down the inventory drops just a little bit for you.
