Target tipped for PS5 restock next week — what you need to know

According to a credible source, the wait for the next Target PS5 refill may be coming to an end shortly.

Jake Randall, a full-time stock-tracking YouTuber, is predicting that Target will hold a PS5 refill sometime next week. It’s almost certain that the shop will release new inventory the following week somewhere between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). It’s already been almost a year since Target has replenished their shelves during this early morning time slot

Target is undoubtedly the shop to watch right now if you’re still looking for a PS5. Randall’s contacts inside Target are incredibly trustworthy, and he has predicted several restocks in the past. Target is expected to replenish PS5 consoles in the near future, however this has not been verified yet.

Target PS5 restock

Since we’ve beyond the customary drop date, it’s almost clear that Target will not have a PS5 replenishment on today (Friday, March 25). In Randall’s estimation, next week is more plausible because some places are still anticipating another shipment of consoles to arrive at the beginning of next week.

Stores started receiving new shipments immediately after the last restock (3/10) however many stores are still receiving shipments of 10-30+ consoles over the weekend and start of next week. This makes next week much more likely but a small drop is (1/3)

Buying a PS5 from Target means you’ll get it for $499, which is a great deal because the shop never offers the PS5 in bundles. In addition, Target is one of the few big shops that does not require a premium membership for restocks. To make things even more convenient, Target customers may pick up their PS5 consoles the same day they place an order.

Our PS5 refill hub is a good place to keep an eye on while we wait for this Target drop to happen. The most up-to-date resupply information is included in this thorough guide, which is updated regularly. Even if you don’t end up getting a PS5, a PS5 pre-order might make the process a lot smoother.

How to buy a PS5 at Target

First and foremost, make sure you’ve set up an account with your payment and shipping information saved. If you want to get your hands on a PS5 during a replenishment, this is a must. There is still a risk that the console will run out of stock while you are filling out your personal information. Make sure everything is saved so that you can quickly check out.

For the PS5 regular version, Target normally releases stock first, followed by a resupply of the PS5 Digital edition. The PS5 is already sold out, but it’s worth checking back later to see if a second batch becomes available.

If at all feasible, Randall says to use PayPal, Apple Pay, or RedCard as an alternate payment option. These utilize a different payment channel that bypasses Target’s own systems, which have in the past crashed under the weight of hundreds of individuals all seeking to acquire that coveted purchase confirmation e-mail..

You may also try to get your hands on a PS5 by using the Target app. To get the most out of a replenishment, attempt to check out on both your desktop and your mobile device. If you’re able to add the PS5 to your cart on one, it’s advised that you complete your purchase on the other. For as long as you’re logged in, the contents of your cart will be saved.

Finally, if your local branch is sold out, you may modify your location at checkout to select a different shop that has PS5 in stock for you to pick from instead. If this happens to you, simply erase your browser’s cookies and try again.
