The latest replenishment of the PS5 is due today at Target and other retailers. This may be one of your last chances to get the PlayStation 5 in 2020, as Sony offers stores more of the hard to find PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition.
If you are still suffering from not finding a PS5 under your tree, there is still hope. PlayStation 5 has been hard to find for months, as PS5 stocks arrive and sell out almost instantly. Here’s more about why the PS5 is hard to find in stock and when it can get better.
The PS5 costs $ 499 and the PS5 Digital Edition costs $ 399. Both versions sell out quickly, so you need to know which PlayStation 5 console you want to buy before the next PS5 refueling update.
Retailers are battling bots, automated computer programs designed to buy PS5 inventory faster than most buyers. Dissatisfied shoppers are even running their own bots to beat the competition when the PS5 is in stock in stores.
Sony is working to provide more consoles to retailers, and we’re hearing that there is very likely a PS5 replenishment arriving at Target today, December 28th.
We recommend making sure that your credit card and other information is up to date before the next PS5 refill arrives.
Here is an analysis of the latest PS5 refueling information from Target, Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg, Costco, PopFindr, BrickSeek, NowinStock and more.
Target PS5 Refueling
Refueling the PS5 Target is your best bet for finding a PlayStation 5 in 2020. The PS5’s inventory on the target is linked to individual stores, so you need to check the Target website or use a stock checker.
If you find the PS5 in stock at Target, you should add it to your cart and check for pickup at the store as soon as possible. You can expect to see the PlayStation 5 in stock at Target today. Check the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition at Target.
Target offers in-store delivery or pickup for the PS5, and there is a limit of one per customer.

Walmart PS5 Refueling
Refueling the Walmart PS5 could deliver another round of consoles to gamers this year. The PS5 page at Walmart is no longer available and you cannot place a pending order, but you can check the PS5 landing page, which is where the PlayStation 5 consoles will appear at the dealer.
In mid-December, Walmart shared an update: “We have more next generation consoles online soon and we continue to work hard to get them into the hands of as many customers as possible.”

Best Buy PS5 Refueling
Best Buy’s PS5 replenishment is online only, and the retailer reminds customers that they need to order the console online just for pickup on the sidewalk. You can’t go into a Best Buy and take a PS5 off the shelf.
Best Buy lists the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition, as well as five PlayStation 5 packages that include games or controllers and a higher price. Pay attention to the PS5 packages at Best Buy, which can be replenished faster.

GameStop PS5 Restock
GameStop is an essential place to check for PS5 refueling updates. We saw a PS5 package in stock in mid-December with NBA 2k21 and Demon’s Souls, but the two PlayStation 5 consoles are listed as unavailable.

Amazon PS5 Refueling
At Amazon, PS5 refueling isn’t happening as often at other retailers, but it’s still a good place to check. We have no details on when the PS5’s inventory will arrive on Amazon.

Newegg PS5 Refueling
Newegg will occasionally tweet PS5 refueling information when the next PS5 crash is due to happen. Newegg PS5 refueling usually takes place at 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET.
Newegg PS5 options are all bundles, so be prepared to spend more than $ 499, but less than what retailers are charging.
Check the PS5 stock at Newegg.
Antonline PS5 Refueling
We saw an Antonline PS5 refilled earlier this month, but the console is currently listed as out of stock. The list is for a PS5 package with four games and a spare controller.
Check the stock of the PS5 at Antonline.
Costco PS5 Refueling
Costco sells a PS5 package with the latest Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Launch Edition, a second controller and a month subscription for PlayStation Now for $ 639.99, but it’s sold out and there is no information about new inventory.
Check the PS5 stock at Costco.
PopFinder, BrickSeek and NowinStock PS5 Refuel
Inventory check sites and services like PopFindr, BrickSeek and NowinStock may simplify finding a PS5 in stock, but some retailers are blocking services.
