If you still want to buy an Xbox Series X or PS5, you will have another chance today at Walmart. The major retailer will refuel the next generation consoles today, February 4th, at 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET, according to a Walmart spokesman who informed GameSpot by email. The PS5 and Xbox Series X will only be available for delivery and you can place orders through Walmart.com or the Walmart app while supplies last.
It is unclear whether today’s refueling of Xbox and PS5 at Walmart will include the S Series and PS5 Digital, but just in case, we’ve included store links for all four models below. Typically, Walmart listings indicate the next refueling time, but as of now, all four still say “sold out”.

Walmart’s next-generation console refills are known to be particularly frustrating for hopeful buyers. While it is convenient for the store to announce its refueling in advance, it also provides moneychangers with sufficient time to prepare, and all previous console refills at Walmart sold out in less than a minute. Securing a PS5 or Xbox Series X at Walmart is a matter of luck, but you can increase your chances by logging into your Walmart account in advance and having your payment and shipping address updated. This minimizes the chance of running out while you are finalizing the purchase.
Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X remain notoriously difficult to find in stock, despite being almost three months before launch. Although Sony did not specifically speak of the PS5’s refueling situation for 2021, Microsoft recently told The New York Times that it expects the Xbox Series X inventory to be limited until at least June, so we expect the same to be true for the PS5. Still, online retailers continue to offer sporadic refills like what is happening today, although normally no notice is given. It appears that many of the top retailers have received more PS5 and Xbox stock recently, as we saw a series of refills in late January at Best Buy, Target, Walmart, GameStop and even Amazon. We continue to track Xbox and PS5 refueling updates in our availability guides as well.
