Sony PlayStation 5 has had a bitter-sweet journey ever since it was launched. It came loaded with incredible new features, an amazing DualSense controller, and some great games. But at the same time, it has faced massive stock availability issues since its inception. That is majorly owing to the chip availability crisis but that might end this year as pandemic seems to be settling now. Anyways, last week we saw a lot restocks that we predicted and this week (April 4-10) also some restocks are expected. Here’s what we know about it.
Target
As you know, Target is one of the top retailers which continuously restocks. Target’s last restock occurred three weeks ago. Being one of the top retailers which according to the insider Jake Randall, received lots of PS5 shipments, restock is almost a guarantee this week. He predicted it for last weekend as well but to our disappointment reported on Thursday that it won’t be happening. But we go by the tweet attached below, this week Target’s restock almost a guarantee. It will most probably take place on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. ET. So, follow Target very closely this week. (Probability – Very High)
Target Product Page HAS NOT Updated yet. PS5 Link here: https://t.co/DRGJxcAFhB
Typically by 7:15am EST the page would be loaded IF the restock was happening. Updating to let you know it is now UNLIKELY; I'll keep watching.They WILL NOT restock over the weekend so next week!

Walmart
Walmart has been the best place to buy a PS5 for some time now, as the next-gen consoles are regularly available for Walmart+ members. The last restock from Walmart was on March 14, so it seems like another one could be coming up pretty soon. If we see a Walmart+ drop, it’ll be announced ahead of time, so no need to worry there. But the catch here is that some PS5 orders from Walmart have been canceled recently so there could be some stock issues. (Probability – Low)
PSN Direct Restock
PlayStation Direct is one of the best and easiest places to get your beloved console. But first, you will need to Sign up for a PS5 invite here. Only then you might get easy access to the site’s next drop. Also, we’ll suggest you to register multiple times as it increases your chances of getting registered quickly and being ahead in the line. PSN Direct’s last drops occurred on 25th March ago but as you may know they drop consoles twice a month. April has begun and we saw no drop in these 3 days so far, so the first drop for this month can be expected this week. (Probability – Medium)
Other expected drops:
Antonline – Last Restock on March 2
As for Amazon, Gamestop and Best Buy, they all saw restocks last week so there seems to be no chance we’ll be seeing a drop this week as well. Although its being said that Gamestop might be concealing a few consoles from their latest stock, its best not to waste time on them. So, this week keep your eyes posted on Target and PS Direct as they are the only ones which can drop this week, with Walmart having a very bleak chance. We wish you all the best and may you finally bag the console you’ve been waiting for sometime.
