PS5 restock news: Best Buy and GameStop dates

PS5 restock news is going to become more relevant this week, according to restock expert Matt Swider. Short holiday weeks (and it was just that last week) tend to act as replenishment dates for major stores in the US. This when inventory moves through warehouses, but when the PS5 doesn’t necessarily go on sale. We saw the same exact thing happen during Memorial Day in the US a few weeks ago. The only movement we saw this last week was the Target PS5 restock surprise.

So far, we’ve seen Antonline lead us off with a brief restock of a PS5 bundle. But we are expecting GameStop and Walmart to have inventory with Best Buy just having had a restock today.

About limited Target restocks: There have been very limited Target PS5 Digital sales this week. This PS5 restock news is limited to a few zip codes in the United States on Monday and Tuesday morning, likely consoles that didn’t make it to stores for last Friday’s restock. Your chances will be much better at GameStop and Walmart this week if those stores release their PS5 inventory.

We are turn our PS5 restock date predictions for Wednesday, July 14, to GameStop and Walmart, likely in that order over the next several days, with Best Buy shaping up to be next week (though plans can and do often change). We may also see more Antonline restock news in addition to the PS5 Disc bundle that just went live (they tend to do it earlier in the week), always in bundle form, as they promise at least one next-gen console stock date per week – though, sometimes it’s limited to an Xbox Series X restock.

GameStop has a restock every 10 to 15 days, and so far it’s been 13 days as of today. Our best estimate on a GameStop PS5 restock date is this week and maybe today, July 14, at either 11:30am EDT or 2pm EDT. At least that’s been the drop time before, with Wednesday being the date and time GameStop favors.

PS5 restock tracker: step-by-step guide

• 1. Get alerts: Follow PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider with notifications turned on. Otherwise, you’re going to miss the PS5 restock. 
• 2. Live coaching: Matt has been doing PS5 restock live streams on YouTube to help illustrate – in real-time – how to buy the console.
• 3. Remember not to buy from Twitter resellers which are filled with scams, no matter how tempting they are.

Best Buy PS5 restock date and time

The Best Buy restock date and time is likely to happen within the next two weeks during daytime hours, according to Matt Swider, and while the largest electronics retailer in the US favors Thursday and Friday drops, it has happened on a Monday and Tuesday when there’s enough inventory (or when certain Best Buy regional warehouses don’t have enough consoles to launch on the prior Thursday or Friday) – it’s just extremely rare compared to the latter half of the week.

It’s become unpredictable and that’s why our PS5 restock Twitter tracker account has become so important today. We’ve seen PS5 in stock at Best Buy anywhere from 9:38am to 6:05pm, spanning the entire day Monday through Friday. It’s worth tracking Best Buy because it always has a lot of local inventory and fast shipping to individual stores from its regional warehouses (it’s a case of buy online and pick-up in stores 3-5 days later).

PS5 restock tip: you may see a Best Buy GPU in-stock alert from Matt Swider before the console orders go live – that’s how it worked during the last major Best Buy restock.

GameStop PS5 restock date

• Next GameStop PS5 restock date: Could be this week (Wednesday is the most popular day)
  Last GameStop PS5 restock date: Thursday, July 1 at 11:30am EDT
• How to buy PS5 from GameStop: Follow our PS5 restock tracker account

The GameStop PS5 restock may be as soon as this week, and today, Wednesday, July 14, is the most popular day of the week for GameStop, according to the past patterns tracked by Matt Swider. That doesn’t mean it’ll happen today, however. Matt was able to coach 4,000 viewers during the PS5 restock live stream on YouTube nearly two weeks ago, and he’ll do the same when GameStop announces its next restock. 

The GameStop PS5 restock date is every 10 to 15 days, according to our analysis. We last saw the retailer have bundles eleven days ago, and today, we sit at 13 days since the last restock, and the company often favors Wednesdays. We’ll update this news when we get official confirmation from GameStop.

Antonline PS5 restock today

• Next Antonline PS5 restock date: There may be more coming
• Last PS5 restock date at Antonline: Wednesday, July 14 at 10:20am EDT
• How to buy PS5 from Antonline: Follow our PS5 restock tracker account

Antonline just had a PS5 restock with a mega bundle containing two games (Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon’s Souls), along with a 12-month membership to PlayStation Plus, two DualSense controllers and a PlayStation camera. The PS5 price is $829.94, and with sales tax in most US sates, you’ll pay close to $900.

The good thing about the Antonline PS5 restock is that everything is at face value, so you’re not paying a premium for just the console like you would a reseller. The retail site doesn’t mess around with the add-to-cart button (meaning once orders open, the checkout process is first-come, first-serve) and Antonline ships the PS5 quickly. It just lasts two minutes in stock, so you’ll need out alerts.

Target PS5 restock date

• Next Target PS5 restock date: Likely next week or the week after
• Last Target PS5 restock date: Friday, July 9 at 7:07am EDT
• How to buy PS5 from GameStop: Follow our PS5 restock tracker account

The Target PS5 restock just happened last Friday, so we don’t expect there to be another for a week or two. Target went three weeks without a restock of the PlayStation 5, so it’s safe to assume it needs way more than a single week to move inventory through its warehouses and to individual stores. There have been a few Target PS5 Digital restocks on Monday and Tuesday, the theory being it’s at stores that got late shipments of the restock last week.

In 2021, the Target PS5 restock date has always been on a Wednesday or Thursday – except for this past week in which is happened on a Friday (maybe because of the 4th of July holiday). It’s also usually at 7:40am EDT, but the PS5 Disc went on sale at 7:07am EDT, which is why we always advise checking for our alert during the 7am EDT hour. Again, no PS5 restock date is expected from Target this week.

Walmart PS5 restock date

• Next Walmart PS5 restock date: could be Thursday, July 15 at 3pm EDT
• Last minor Walmart PS5 restock date: Thursday, July 1 at 3pm EDT
• Last major Walmart PS5 restock date: Thursday, June 17 at 3pm EDT
• How to buy PS5 from Walmart: Follow our PS5 restock tracker account

The next likely Walmart PS5 restock date is July 15, as we haven’t seen major stock from the retailer since June 17. With more people having received their orders from the prior PS5 restock (yes, Walmart takes this long to ship to some customers), we’re likely going to finally see another round at 3pm this upcoming Thursday.  

The good news is that Matt Swider often gets advance notice if there’s going to be a Walmart PS5 restock, citing a press release that the retailer issues to TechRadar. The official word comes almost three hours in advance of the restock at 12pm EDT.

Sony Direct PS5 restock date and time

• Last Sony Direct PS5 restock date for email invites: Wednesday, June 23
• Last major Sony Direct virtual queue: Wednesday, June 16 at 5pm EDT
• How to buy PS5 from GameStop: Follow our PS5 restock tracker account

We’re also coming up to one month since the last PS5 restock from Sony Direct, and we’re now able to create a news story announcing the likely restock date. This is due to the fact that Sony Direct often sends out (random) email invites to PSN users who get into an earlier virtual queue – and often, but not always – it opens up a second queue when this finishes. 

There’s a 15- to 30-minute waiting room for Sony Direct before the virtual queue opens. So that means you don’t have to be first in line. And we know that the queue for everyone has been happening at 5pm EDT, and Wednesdays have been popular for Sony Direct. Look for our tweet if you track a queue opening up then.

Newegg PS5 restock date

• Next Newegg PS5 restock date: About every other week in the Newegg Shuffle
• Last Newegg PS5 restock date: Thursday, July 8 at 11am EDT
• How to buy PS5 from Sam’s Club: Follow our PS5 restock tracker account

The true Newegg PS5 restock is part of its Newegg Shuffle, not the individual console product pages where the prices are well beyond MSRP care of third-party resellers. Newegg Shuffle is the retailer’s popular products lottery in which is raffles the ability to purchase GPU, CPU and console items daily – often in bundle form.

The PS5 console doesn’t always make it into the selection. In fact, we’ve been seeing it as part of the Newegg Shuffle every other week. We’ll send out an alert daily before the two-hour window in which the Newegg Shuffle period is open for new entries (usually the time is from 11am EDT to 1pm EDT).

Sam’s Club PS5 restock date

The next Sam’s Club PS5 restock date is likely next month, as we’ve already seen the Sony console in stock at the Walmart-owned club store in July, specifically the date was July 1. We don’t see Sam’s Club offer many PS5 bundles week-to-week, but the benefit to this store, as opposed to Costco, for example, is that you don’t have to be a member – you can pay a small fee to buy the console and checkout as a guest.

With Sam’s Club restock dates being so rare, we don’t advise staying up until 1am EDT every night in order to snag the PS5. However, that’s been the most popular time from Sam’s Club since launch and we’ll send out an alert via our Twitter tracker like the one you see below.

Costco PS5 restock date

Costco doesn’t restock PS5 often – maybe once a month – and it’s limited to Costco members, which is actually a good thing if you’re a paid member. Even then, it sells out of its bundles just as quickly as Best Buy, GameStop and Walmart. This is due to the fact that its bundles are at face value for the games and accessories. You’ll have less than three minutes on most Costco PS5 restock dates to get the console.

Our PS5 restock alerts for Costco, like the one below, is a good reason to tracker the PlayStation 5 with us on Twitter. It can crop up at any moment. 

Monday, July 12, could be slow, as are always Monday restock events. But we’re still tracking  PS5 24/7 at a dozen retailers in the US. We’re working overtime to help out the 750,000 followers of Matt Swider, all trying to buy the PS5. It’s actually gotten easier to find PS5 in stock during the summer months (it’s still not what we’d consider easy), but we don’t expect that to last. By the end of September, every parent will want PS5 for the kid during Christmas, so we suggest trying to get it before Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

We’ll continue to update PS5 restock news at more retailers gain inventory of the Sony console. Of the main retailers in the US, GameStop has become the easiest to buy the console from thanks to its bundles that turn off resellers. Even then, it sells out consistently without everyone being able to buy it, accordingly to the vocal followers of PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider. We’ll keep checking tonight as well as tomorrow, July 15.
