PlayStation 5 Restock Date: Check updates for Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy and more

During August 2021, PlayStation 5 (PS5) restocks have been very few. The console was briefly available on Target and PlayStation Direct on September 10, 2021, but the inventory depleted quickly, selling out within minutes of being available. Previously, Amazon also restocked PS5 on September 2, 2021. While retailers such as Antonline, Walmart, and GameStop have had restocks last month, Best Buy has been off the track for quite some time. 

PlayStation 5 is one of the most popular gaming consoles ever built. While that alone is hogging the console prices in the grey market, the ongoing chip shortage affects electronic items being sold worldwide. Additionally, resellers are using software algorithms or bots to purchase large quantities of PS5 as and when they are restocked at popular retailers such as Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, Amazon and more.
