One of the most anticipated products to buy for Black Friday and the upcoming holiday season is a PlayStation 5. Even two years after its release, demand remains high because of the limited supply. Chip shortage has prevented Sony from producing their expectations, but they have promised to ramp up production. One of the most reliable places to buy one is Walmart, which recently announced plans to restock.
The best part about this is that they will restock before Black Friday. Here’s everything you need to know:
Three Restock Dates for PlayStation 5
The first Walmart PlayStation 5 restock date is on November 21 Monday at noon EDT. However, it is exclusive to Walmart+ members only. To buy a console, you’ll have to become a Walmart+ member before the restock date.

The second restock date is on November 23 at the same time. It will be open to everyone, not just Walmart+ members. The general public will likely look to this date to buy, so expect more competition.
The final restock will be on Black Friday itself on November 25. They will start stocking shelves with the PS5 at 5 AM local time, and the final restock will be available in physical stores. The best option to snag one would be to arrive early and get in line with others.
Which is the Best Restock Date Option
When it comes to improving your chances of getting a PlayStation 5, you want opportunities are open to the least amount of people possible. With that in mind, the Walmart+ restock will be your best chance to get a console. They likely announced the restocks to entice people to get a membership.
While it will be an additional investment, there will be less competition on November 21. Exclusive drops usually take longer to sell out in the past, meaning you’re likely to secure one with a membership. There are also other benefits to getting Walmart+:
- Free same-day delivery to a local store (if available)
- Free two-day shipping
- Early access to Black Friday deals
- Gas discounts
The membership costs $12.95 a month. You’ll save more when you shop there regularly if you get the annual $98 membership. You can cancel it anytime, but the payment is non-refundable.
Other Things to Consider
While the focus is on the PlayStation 5, many items related to it may receive significant discounts on Black Friday. The most common would be games, so Black Friday would be an opportunity to stock your library. Another option would be accessories, such as controllers, a camera, and a headset.
Other accessories are highly anticipated but will only start selling next year. One of these items would be the DualSense Edge, a more expensive controller with full customization capabilities. There’s also the PSVR2 which is still under development and may potentially change the VR landscape during its release.
