Those who want to buy another PS5 have had numerous opportunities this week, as we have seen a myriad of inventory once again take place at major retailers online. This appears to be the widespread PS5 stock we’ve seen since Black Friday, starting with a stock back on Target on Wednesday. On Thursday we saw stock at Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop and even Amazon, and on Friday we saw one stock at Kohl and a second at Best Buy. Clearly, major retailers have again received a large quantity of PS5 consoles to sell this week, but only when and where will we see the PS5 next in stock? Sony has not yet given any concrete updates on the stock situation for 2021, but we hope you will be able to find it regularly soon.
In the meantime, we will continue to update this manual as PS5 units are offered for sale. Just be aware that if you want one, you need to be quick and possibly open to purchasing a bundle of games and accessories or may not want one. If you want to buy a PS5 relatively soon, these are the kind of concessions you need to make. With any luck, you will find a bundle that contains mostly relevant articles. You want to get one in hand to play the best PS5 games in 2021.
Where to buy the PS5
PS5 availability on PlayStation Direct
PlayStation Direct regularly opens a queue for buyers to buy the PS5 (and anything else on the first-party website), but it’s more than an hour’s wait and it’s unclear if the PS5 is even available. It’s still worth checking out PS Direct on a regular basis, as it’s the only store that still releases the PS5 on a slightly regular basis. However, the rows also appear to be somewhat random.
Note that finding a queue on PS Direct does not necessarily mean that the PS5 is in stock; it simply indicates high traffic to the store. It never hurts to jump in and wait when you find the rope and you will be at your computer for a while, but know that there is no guarantee that it is in stock by the time you go through it.
PS5 availability at GameStop
GameStop reopened the PS5 on January 21; however, the PS5 was only available in bundles at the price of $ 700 which was available along with two games, an extra controller and a GameStop gift card.
PS5 availability at Walmart
Walmart last had the PS5 on January 21, along with other next-generation systems, on its website. For these re-events, he provided more systems every ten minutes for about half an hour, giving customers the chance to get one. Apparently it made it a little easier to get one of the systems. However, you will still need to prepare to be there the second time a stock has the best chance again.
PS5 availability at Best Buy
Best Buy’s last PS5 relaunch was on January 22 – it was the second consecutive day that Best Buy reaffirmed the PS5 on its website, but everything is now sold out. Best Buy had no stock on store shelves throughout the holiday season, but the retailer has stated that consoles will be available in stores in 2021. We recommend that you contact your local Best Buy store if available.
PS5 availability at Target
Target had a PS5 stock on the morning of January 20th, the first major one we’ve seen since its launch at the retailer. Both the PS5 and PS5 Digital were available, but only for in-store pickup. We still recommend that you call your local stores for availability.
PS5 availability at Amazon
Amazon was the least trusted retailer in terms of PS5 re-stock – we’ve barely seen the next-generation console since its launch there. The most recent reboot of Amazon PS5 took place on January 21st. We only saw the $ 500 disc driver version in stock, and it was gone instantly.
Where to buy PS5 accessories
The Pulse 3D wireless headphone was the hardest PS5 accessory to get in stock, and it was the first accessory sold out at major retailers. Over the past few weeks, the stock has reappeared frequently, though it is still not an item you can buy reliably at any time. However, there are still a number of excellent headsets that you can buy to go along with your new PS5. Our personal favorite is the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro wireless headset; other excellent options include the SteelSeries Arctis 1 and the Astro A50. Any of your existing PS4 headsets should work as well.
Other official PS5 accessories, such as the media remote control and DualSense charging station, are also popular and do not stay in stock with occasional stock.

Where to buy PS5’s biggest games
Quite a few PS5 games are now available, including launch titles such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon’s Souls. Keep in mind that many PS4 games with free next-generation upgrades have been downgraded since launch, which makes it better than buying the PS5 versions straight.
