A PS5 and Xbox Series X restock will take place today at Walmart from 12pm ET / 9am PT. Once again, though, both PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles will be available exclusively to Walmart+ members. Below, we've got all the information you need, plus how to get yourself signed up and be ready for this morning's drop. You can also find more regular updates on the retailers that have stock next on our where to buy the PS5 hub.
The first step if you're not already a member, then, is to sign up to Walmart+ for $12.95 per month. That may be a significant price to pay when you aren't even guaranteed to get a console, but since Walmart introduced this requirement it's been one of the best retailers for PS5 or Xbox Series X restocks. It can help make the whole process a lot smoother and does a little to discourage bots or scalpers. Other benefits include first dibs at other events such as today's Walmart+ Early Access sale that includes big discounts on TVs, laptops, appliances, furniture and more.
All signed up? Good stuff. When the time comes, you can follow the links to each console below and be ready to hit that buy button on the PS5 or Xbox Series X once the restock begins. It's a shame to see the retailer use this method as no one enjoys paying more cash to allow themselves to get a console. It can help make the whole process a lot smoother, though, and does a little to discourage bots or scalpers.
A couple of quick tips. Sort your membership, open the required store pages and login to your Walmart account way before the restock begins. You don't want to be caught out doing any of these once it's underway as you can be sure the site will struggle with demand. Another potential helpful trick is to pay using PayPal, as this will take you off Walmart's busy payment servers and decrease the chance of running into errors during the processing stage.
We hope everything goes to plan and you come away with a PS5 or Xbox Series X this morning. If you are successful, definitely check out some cheap PS5 games or an Xbox Game Pass deal to go with it.
Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock
The last drop we saw at Walmart before this was a month and a half ago on January 13 - that's one of the biggest waits we've seen for a PS5 and Xbox Series X restock in the US for some time.
It doesn't beat Amazon, though, which hasn't had either console on sale since the end of 2021. There's some expectation it will follow Walmart with a restock today or tomorrow, so stick with our PS5 restock hub for regular updates. You can also check out our hub dedicated to all the best Xbox Series X and Series S deals for all the retailers to follow for Microsoft's console.
