In Sony’s most recent quarterly report, released on February 3, chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki said: “It is difficult for us to increase PS5 production amid a shortage of semiconductors and other components.” Despite this, the company is still trying to “ship as many units as possible to customers who are waiting for a PS5”.

OctoShop, PopFindr and more tools to find PS5 consoles
Finding the right PS5 refill at the time it happens is difficult, especially on sites that don’t advertise refueling in advance. Fortunately, there are many tools online that will help you in the fight to get a PS5 console. For example, OctoShop is a Google extension that will notify you as soon as it is replenished before it is available on a website for which you have configured notifications.
In the meantime, PopFindr is a useful tool for those who want to see if the console is in stock at their local store. It is also worth following Twitter accounts like @ PS5StockAlerts, @SpielTimesand @ Wario64 who will tweet whenever new consoles are available from a reseller. This article will also have links to the website of each retailer from which you want to obtain a PS5.

Target
Target is a fairly consistent retailer for the PS5 and has had several consoles in stock since November 2020. Although it replenished at the store earlier this month, fans still hope that more consoles will be available soon. To track inventory in the store, use PopFindr. If you are trying to get one online, you will need to rely on the tools mentioned and the PS5 hub page from Target.
Walmart
Walmart had an exciting replenishment for PS5 consoles on February 4 and it is not known when they will replenish the system next. Still, the largest US retailer is quite consistent with selling new PS5 units every two weeks. You’ll have a lot of competition the next time you try to get a console from them, but it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the pages of Walmart’s PS5 and PS5 Digital Edtion Store.
GameStop
PS5 isn’t the only GameStop stock that is low right now, but the lack of PS5s is what those looking for a next-generation console are probably most concerned about. GameStop’s last refueling was in January, so it’s late for another sometime this month. Pay attention to the retailer’s PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition store pages, as well as any packages they may publish.
Amazon
Amazon is one of the most difficult online retailers to get systems because it does not advertise stocks in advance and any listed inventory seems to disappear quickly. If Amazon replenishes PS5 consoles sometime this month, you’ll want OctoShop or another tool to notify you. If you just want to get lucky, you can also update the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition store pages.
PlayStation Direct
This is one of the most trusted places to get a PS5, as you will get a next-generation console directly from Sony. However, it has the strangest buying process. Go to PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition pages of PS Direct when refueling will put you in line. After waiting in line, you will have a chance to get a console if it is still in stock.
This method requires patience, but it can be the most consistent and reliable way to obtain a PS5. Although Sony does not normally say when refueling is going on, definitely keep an eye out this month.
Best buy
While Best Buy sold many PS5 shares in January, February is quiet for this retailer, therefore, a fan. Still, this remarkable tech retailer is a pretty obvious place to get a PS5, works well with tools like OctoShop, and is expected to be replenished soon. If this happens, you want to access the store’s PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition pages.
