Sony’s PlayStation 5 remains one of the most sought-after consoles available at the moment and many people are still having trouble finding one. Large retailers like Target, Amazon and Best Buy often see stocks sold out, causing some frustration for potential customers.
Although released on November 12, 2020, PS5 supplies were quickly purchased whenever they were available. If you expect to get a console as a special Easter gift, here’s an analysis of the PS5 stock situation on Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and more.
Refueling Amazon PS5
Amazon had no stock of the PlayStation 5 on Sunday morning. Visitors to the online retail giant were left with the simple message “We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.”

Best Buy PS5 Refueling
Both versions of the PlayStation 5 were sold on the Best Buy website on Sunday morning. Although refueling was expected on Friday, consumers were disappointed when it failed to materialize.
Best Buy has had PS5s available every Friday for the past six weeks. But, at least this Easter, players are out of luck.

The PS5 was sold out at Costco at the time of writing. The retailer was offering the console as part of a package and had units on Tuesday for a limited period of time.

GameStop PS5 Restock
GameStop proved to be a good place for PlayStation 5 seekers, with frequent refueling. The retailer had a stock briefly on Friday morning and was offering packages with Spider-Man Final Edition, Call to action and Avengers games. However, the consoles were later sold out and no other units were made available.
However, Twitter accounts dedicated to games, like @ Wario64 and @GYXdeals, provide useful stock updates and are worth looking for potential buyers.
