The PlayStation 5 will be getting multiple launch day restocks at Walmart
TL;DR: The PlayStation 5 will be getting multiple restocks at Walmart throughout launch day (Nov. 12) — get them here as stock drops at 12 p.m. EST, 3 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. EST, and 9 p.m. EST. (See links to other retailers below.)
Launch day is finally here for the PlayStation 5, which means it's time to start stressing out about trying to secure one before they inevitably sell out (if PS5 preorders were any indication of how the release will go, it could be a real fiasco). Don't give up hope, though — you may be one of the lucky people who ends up with a PS5 on Nov. 12.
While restock times are up in the air for most retailers, we do know that Walmart will for sure be restocking both versions of the PlayStation 5 throughout launch day at very specific times. The retailer will be dropping limited quantities of the PS5 regular and digital editions at 12 p.m. EST, 3 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. EST, and 9 p.m. EST here. So, set those bookmarks, alarms, put up some sticky notes — whatever you have to do to get those buying hands at the ready (we've posted links to other PlayStation 5 product pages across retailers at the bottom of this article).
Sony's PlayStation 5 is available in two slightly different editions: the regular edition for $499, and the digital edition for $399. The digital edition of the console has the same internal components as the regular version (including that lightning-fast internal SSD), but ditches the disc drive for an all-digital experience — and it's $100 cheaper. And now that the console has officially released, you'll be able to immediately dig into a bunch of highly anticipated launch titles like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, and more as soon as you power it on.
Best of luck with getting your brand-new PlayStation 5 — we've got our fingers are crossed for you.
