As the release of God of War Ragnarok approaches, it is expected that Amazon will be hosting a large PlayStation 5 restock later this week. Historically, April has been the month of restocks. Argos kicked off April with a massive drop in the stock, followed by Currys, AO, and GAME. However, that drought ended in 2022, and the next restock is yet to be announced.
Amazon
You can’t tell the future, but you can plan accordingly. Most of the retailers that sell PlayStation 5 restock once a month. Most of the time, this happens on a Wednesday. 
In 2022, Amazon did not restock the PS5 until Friday, April 23. There’s a slight chance that the retailer will wait until Friday, April 23, instead of restocking on Monday, March 25.
The retailer may be simply trying to clear out its warehouses of older PlayStation models. It has been rumored that Sony is planning to restock the PS5 digital version during the last three days of Amazon Prime Day. If so, that could speed up the restocking process. However, the PlayStation 5 restock is not guaranteed to happen during Prime Day, so it is best to plan.
GameStop
PS5 restock dates vary, depending on the region and other factors. But on average, PS5 restocks happen once or twice a month. Some stores restock every two weeks, while others restock just once a month. The best way to find out when the PlayStation 5 will restock is to check with GameStop directly. You can also get a PowerUp Rewards Pro membership, which costs $15 per year and gets you $5 in credit for every purchase you make.
Checking the PS5 inventory on the PlayStation Store, Amazon, and GameStop is a good idea. Check their webpages multiple times a day, and check them from different browsers and devices. The more browsers you have, the better. The best way to get the best chances is to visit different retail sites. Usually, a PS5 restock happens around 10 a.m. PT or 1 p.m. ET on a weekday.
Walmart
If you haven’t yet purchased a PlayStation 5 console, then you’re probably wondering, “When will Amazon restock PS5?” Well, the answer to that question is a big yes! PlayStation 5 restock dates have been announced by major retailers including Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, and Walmart. Luckily, Amazon Prime members are given priority access to PS5 restock dates. You can become a Prime member for $139 per year. It comes with a variety of benefits, including free fast shipping, Prime Video content, and even Prime Day sales. You can even get a free trial membership.
For those who want to get in line as early as possible, you can sign up for Walmart+ before the PS5 restock date. It will give you priority access to restocked PS5 titles, but it’s not a pre-order. You’ll need to take action quickly since you’ll be put into a virtual queue. You have 10 minutes to get the deal done, so don’t waste time refreshing the page.
Best Buy
When will Best Buy restock PS5? Often retailers will announce a restock date a day or two in advance, but the truth is that they rarely do. If you are in the market for a PlayStation 5, check out your local Best Buy or Walmart. There are also a few game stores you can check out online, such as Amazon. Best Buy usually unveils its latest inventory on Fridays between noon and 3 PM ET.
Until the PlayStation 5 restock is confirmed to hit all Best Buy stores, you can wait for a few more days. During the last restock, the retail giant gave its Totaltech members priority access to pre-order the console. While this delay is not a huge deal, the retail giant is trying to avoid bots from buying its products. So, it makes sense that Best Buy is trying something new to keep its inventory high.
Newegg
The Sony PlayStation 4 restocks on Newegg quite frequently. The last restock was February 17 – the third time in a week. The restock typically happens in the afternoon and early evening, depending on what time of the day you check. To maximize your chances of getting the PS4, you should try to log in to your account before going to the website. That way, you don’t have to waste time entering shipping and payment information.
You can use a Google Chrome extension called OctoShop to track restocks. The extension can scan any retailer and let you know when the console is back in stock. It is free to install and works great. The extension also lets you know when restocks occur so you can make sure to buy the PlayStation 5 as soon as it hits the shelves. It can be a big help if you’re interested in buying a PS5.
