Target PS5 restock slated for this week – what you need to know

THIS week is ramping up for PS5 restocks, with gamers getting the chance to pick up the console at a number of retailers.

Best Buy and GameStop have both seen more PS5 restocks this week, and Target is next on the list.



PS5 Standard Edition

A number of PS5 stock tracking accounts have pegged Target for a PS5 restock that could happen between now and the end of the week.

Jake Randall, who’s developed a solid track record when it comes to restocks, says that stores will have both Digital Edition and standard disc PS5 consoles.

“We’re looking at low teens on average (per store) for PS5 Disc, and about 6-8 digital (better than normal tbh),” he tweeted.

While the exact date hasn’t been confirmed, Randall says the restock will happen between 3am PST / 6am EST and 6am PST / 9am EST.

The drop could go live any time within the next three days, but Randall has narrowed it down somewhat.

He speculates that the “most likely” day is either Thursday, September 30, or Friday, October 1.

Matt Swider also posted a schedule of possible PS5 restocks this week.

He’s tentatively pencilled in the Target PS5 restock for Friday, while adding that GameStop will have PS5 bundles in-store today.

As with a lot of these retailers, we recommend creating an account to get through the checkout process as smoothly as possible.

A Target-specific tip from Randall is to select the option to pick up the PS5 from the store rather than opting to have it delivered to your home address.

He also suggests saving PayPal as your payment method to expedite the process.

If you’re an Xbox owner, you might want to check out the Halo Infinite beta this weekend.

After that, there’s the Battlefield 2042 beta set for next week.

And soccer fans can pre-order FIFA 22 for its lowest price yet ahead of its release this week.
