PS5 and Xbox restock date: Target could lead a massive restock – here's when

Saurav Yadav March 24, 2021

There's a PS5 and Xbox Series X restock planned tomorrow from at least two stores in the US, according to retailer and warehouses sources who contacted TechRadar over the last 24 hours.

The massive Thursday, March 25 restock may start at Target, with key employees at the retailer sharing details first with TechRadar and YouTuber Jake Randall regarding inventory. We hold that at a 80% chance. 

Retailer Antonline almost came out and said it'll have a restock Thursday (90% odds), while Amazon, well, Amazon is overdue for a restock, but has shifted its scheduled dates on us before (25% chance). Walmart is confirmed to be carrying the Xbox Series X via Microsoft's All Access bundle and financing plan (100% chance).

What time and which stores will restock? Our PS5 and Xbox restock Twitter tracker will alert you the second these consoles restock.

Target PS5 and Xbox restock date

Target employees, both at Target stores and warehouses, have told TechRadar that they have enough consoles consistent with a PS5 restock, but fewer than past weeks (Target has restocked every two weeks recently and March 25 will mark two weeks from the last drop). PS5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series X stock is even lower. Target favors early morning restocks. It has consistently chosen mornings at 7:45am EDT. That's a rough restock time for the West coast of the US, so because it's not 100% we suggest not disrupting your sleep patterns.

Antonline PS5 restock

Antonline just teased that it has "drops every week", but the US store hasn't done a single PS5 or Xbox restock this week. Hence, their PS5 restock date is Thursday or Friday (no major American retailers restock on weekends). Note: Antonine tends to sell out in three minutes, but when it goes on sale, there are no waves or in stock/out of stock funny business. 

If you get our PS5 restock alerts – like the one below – you have a shot... as long as you appreciate loaded bundles. It's better than better than paying resellers.

Walmart Xbox Series X restock date confirmed

  • Probability: 100%
  • Follow our Twitter tracker to gets alerts when

The Walmart Xbox Series X restock is confirmed to be happening Thursday, March 25 at 3pm EDT, according to an official statement sent to TechRadar by the retailer. The Xbox Series S will also be available to purchase. It should be noted that while we can confirm that this is one of two stores that we know will carry a next-gen console, both versions of the Xbox have to be purchased through a financing plan called Xbox  All Access. Some people avoid that, others appreciate not having to pay for everything upfront.

Amazon PS5 restock

  • Probability: 25% – but really who knows anymore
  • Follow our Twitter tracker to gets alerts when

Our white whale. Amazon is overdue for a PS5 restock, but nothing is ever confirmed there. We were sent information that a restock was scheduled for Thursday of last week with 46,000 consoles up for grabs, but the date got rescheduled.

What about the Best Buy PS5 restock date?

  • Probability: 50% for Friday
  • Follow our Twitter tracker to gets alerts when

For the last five weeks, we've seen Best Buy open orders for a PS5 restock. We think it's 50/50 for this Friday, March 26 based on the fact fact that Best Buy had fewer PS5 consoles on hand last Friday (PS5 Disc only, no Digital in the end) and it sold out very quickly (so less inventory). This could be a catch-up week, or maybe the US retailer will surprise us by opening orders for a sixth Friday in a row.

Our Twitter track has helped thousands of new PS5 and Xbox buyers through push notifications – both consoles sell out in three minutes or less.
