PS5 Restock at Walmart Time
Wamlart will restock PS5 consoles at 12PM ET / 9AM PT today, April 19th, 2022, so get your devices ready to be at the launch on time!
Walmart will restock both the disc ($499) and digital versions ($399) of the PS5 on April 19th, 2022. You must have a Walmart+ membership, which is $12.95 per month or $98 per year.
How to Purchase a PS5 at Walmart
- Sign-up and get your account ready. Make sure you’ve already created an account with Walmart, have signed-up for Walmart+, and then get your address, payment method, etc. saved so that there is less to input on the day of the restock.
- Download their mobile app. It’s handy to try to score your PS5 during a restock through both the retailer’s mobile app as well as through their website using your desktop/laptop.
- Be ready at restock time but don’t give up yet. Walmart often releases the inventory in waves, so you may want to stick around for a half hour and keep trying if you don’t succeed initially. They also have bot-protection so do not refresh too often.
- There is a queue, so once you’re in it, wait! Once you’re able to ‘add to cart,’ you’ll be added to a queue to make your purchase. This makes it a lot more orderly than many other retailers!
