Update 06:46: Our store scan is now not returning any stock from the Digital Edition or disc console, so we are calling them both out of stock now for the PS5 Target replenishment session.
Target’s much talked about refueling crash was live between 5:30 am and 6:15 am ET for the main disc version, but is now sold out. This was quickly followed by Digital Edition stocks, which aired between 6:25 am and 6:40 am Eastern time, but lasted much less time.
This shows that Target had more stock of PS5 from the main and popular console, focusing less on the PS5 Digital Edition.
However, if you miss this latest PS5 stock announcement, you may still be lucky this week. There is often a queue on the Sony website during the week, so if you are looking for a Sony Direct PS5 refill, then you might be lucky during the days of this week.
Although PS5 inventory is rare and severely limited, here’s where else to check when it lands:
It was reported that Target would receive PS5 refueling shipments, and the expected deadline was December 27-29, according to the video game website Spiel Times, which cited ‘Someone of superior designation’ as the source of PS5 refueling information. from Target. This means that the window has been reduced for tomorrow.
The stock was going to stores earlier in the week and that drop has already happened, albeit at the last minute.
It appears that the Spiel Times source is accurate and the details of the report are strong: specific regions are likely to receive more than others, and that is what we are seeing now.
When the PS5 refuel …
The only good news is that retailers are offering wave stock to prevent their sites from braking under heavy loads at certain times – which could also explain why Target is crashing in the early hours.
The Spiel Times is suggesting that 3 am-7am is the key time for the PS5 stock to land (which turned out to be true), and this is something we have experienced in the past as well.
This previous tweet from the Spiel Times in early December is also worth remembering:

The drop in PS5 stock will be picked up at the store only, with no passing orders (fortunately, to avoid Covid’s tantalizing stampede with news from a PS5 console) – then you will order online and place them in the store at a specific location Time.
The main thing with these PS5 refueling drops is to make the checkout process as smooth as possible – you can often add it to the cart, but every second and click after that dramatically reduces your chance of actually getting one.
Should you buy a PS5?
The PS5 comes with a revolutionary new DualSense controller and is capable of 4K games at 120fps. It is also compatible with all the best PS4 games, so you can revisit some classic titles and take your existing library with you.
What’s more, the PS5 game selection is already shaping up very well. Games like Demon’s Souls and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales are indispensable and continue Sony’s legacy of creating attractive exclusives that you won’t find anywhere else.
