Walmart PS5 restock — latest updates and how to get yours

Wondering where to buy PS5? Walmart PS5 restock events have been increasing in frequency. The latest Walmart PS5 restock happened on December 17 with new inventory going live at 3pm, 3:10pm, and 3:20pm ET. 

Unlike other retailers, there were no queues to form and no wait time. That said, both consoles sold out within seconds. However, shortly after selling out, the PS5 product page on Walmart mentioned more stock would be available in 10 minutes, so if during the next PS5 restock you miss out on the first batch of consoles — stick around because Walmart might release more stock shortly thereafter. 

Walmart PS5 restock  When is the next Walmart PS5 restock event?

Unfortunately, Walmart isn't consistent when it comes to announcing PS5 restock. For instance, the last time they announced it via the Walmart Twitter account was back on November 18. Likewise Walmart's weekly circular has in the past advertised PS5 restock, but they don't do so regularly. As a result, your best bet is to follow our where to buy PS5 guide for the latest updates on PS5 restock. 

That said, once PS5 consoles are available at Walmart you'll have to act lightning fast to secure a console and purchase it. So it's worth creating a Walmart.com account if you don't already have one. Have your address, credit card info, and other details ready to go so if you happen to get a PS5 console in your cart, you can rapidly check out and confirm your purchase. 

Walmart PS5 restock and shipping deadlines

There's still a glimmer of hope if you want a PS5 in time for Christmas. Walmart recently announced its Christmas 2020 shipping deadlines and there's still time for next-day delivery and in-store pickup. However, today's Walmart PS5 restock will not ship in time for Christmas delivery.
