PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider has helped 67,000 people in the US buy a next-gen console in 2021 with his tireless 24/7 tracking, in-stock Twitter alerts and exclusive restock reporting.
Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock news update: On Thursday, there was a massive PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X restock at Walmart online, and followers of our 24/7 PS5 restock Twitter tracker Matt Swider got an alert ahead of time and thousands were able to find the two consoles in stock. Matt also did a Walmart PS5 and Xbox restock live stream video on YouTube, teaching people the tips and tricks on the complicated Walmart checkout process (if you missed it, go back and review how to checkout while the PS5 stock was live). The first few waves of consoles seemed impossible to buy at the time of 3pm EDT, but customers were able to breakthrough in subsequent waves (it lasted one hour) spaced ten minutes apart, and the price was right at the MSRP: $499 for PS5 Disc and Xbox Series X, and $399 for PS5 Digital.

Walmart PS5 and Xbox restock time and date
- PS5 and Xbox Series X was in stock at 3pm EDT / 12pm PDT
- Both the Walmart app and Walmart website will have the consoles
The Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock time was at 3pm EDT / 12pm PDT, and it lasted more than an hour. You could buy both consoles today at MSRP.
This fits into Walmart's pattern: the Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock date is almost always on a Thursday, and we've listed the past restock dates below.
This doesn't mean anyone who bought it today will get their console right away. Today's online order is meant to be shipped to you, so no in-store Walmart pick-ups will be available, and, no, you cannot go to the store to order the console. Please don't do that.
Walmart is notorious for taking some time to ship next-gen to people (up to a month in some cases, but within a few days for a select few). There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the timing.

Our Walmart PS5 buying guide
Walmart is the most popular retailer in the US, so consoles sell out quickly when the PS5 is in stock. This is one case in which the mobile app is the hero and the website is the sidekick. We'll explain how and why you should use both during a PS5 drop at Walmart.
- Go to the Walmart link we tweet from our tracker – right at the 3pm EDT restock time.
- Open it up in both the Walmart app and a browser (preferably a computer).
- Use the browser to determine if PS5 is in stock at Walmart (it'll go in and out of stock in waves.
- Use the mobile app to tap checkout. It'll give you an error message if it can't be added to your cart. Dismiss that dialogue box and tap again (the app is better since you don't have to refresh.
- Continue to monitor the website to see when restock times are posted (this is where the computer browser is helpful). It usually happens in 10-minute increments, but even is Walmart claims another restock time at 3:10, sometimes they don't stick to it, so don't stop tapping the app.
When is the next PS5 and Xbox restock?
You're looking at it. Walmart will restock the PS5 and Xbox Series X today at 3pm EDT / 12pm PDT, and while it sometimes goes early, if you miss it, there are always 10-minute waves where the consoles go out of stock and then comes back to life.
