Our PS5 restock Twitter tracker and investigative reporting shows that the next wave of Sony consoles will drop at any time. We’ve helped thousands of people buy the PS5 in the US store, and we know stores are amassing inventory for this week at Target and Best Buy in particular. Here’s how you can find out when.

There’s a Target PS5 restock scheduled to happen on Thursday, March 11, according to our sources and based on internal communications at Target headquarters. Three Target employees have also contacted TechRadar to mention that they have recently received large shipments of next-gen consoles, suggesting that new PS5 stock is imminent.

We’ve had success: about 25% of our PS5 Twitter tracker replies show they got the new console from our alerts. It’s gotten easier over time as more people get the Sony system – there’s slightly less pressure today than there was two weeks ago.
Best Buy, Walmart and GameStop would have an PS5 and Xbox restock, and our DMs are open to see if Target is going to have new console stock this week. So far, people in the know are saying it’s coming soon. We’ll update this story as soon as we nail down a time.
It’s important to point out that you won’t be able to order from retail stores. We don’t want to be responsible for sending people to physical stores looking for a PS5 restock that doesn’t exist. Some stores allow for in-store pickup (Target and certain Best Buy stores), however, none of the actual ordering takes place in stores.
The PS5 restock pattern
We saw about every other major retailer release PS5 stock this week: Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, ANTonline, GameStop and Sam’s Club.
Sony PlayStation Direct has been unusually silent this week. We were told that Sony Direct’s last restock, on Wednesday, February 24, saw delays beyond the promised two-day shipping for PlayStation Plus members. That’s likely why Sony hasn’t released more stock of the console – it’s backed up.

Through Twitter, we’re tracking the next PS5 and Xbox stock from more than 13 sources, and we’ve seen a few PS5 consoles pop up over the last week and, even better news, high success rates for people who have been looking for restock for months.
Even if you don’t get to buy the console today, there may be a PS5 and Xbox drop any one of the days in the upcoming week.
