A new discovery about the PS5 restock at Best Buy may help you finally get your hands on the elusive console. It’s been nearly two years since the PS5 was launched. Upon release, it was very difficult to buy. Since then, the situation has hardly improved. Not only is demand high, but supply is constrained by the global shortage of microchips and the ongoing shipping crunch. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like things are going to get any better anytime soon.
To make matters worse, as long as demand remains high, the distributor market will continue to operate, which means sellers with bots capable of buying stock instantly will continue to snap up online restocks. Some stores have started doing restocks in person, but these restocks are often random, unannounced, and very limited.
All that said, if you’re still in the market for a PS5, you should know the newly discovered trick. As relayed by the popular Twitter account Wario64, if you’re using a PS5 you should routinely check your best Buy app to see if your local store has any units. why? Well, apparently, when you search for a PlayStation 5 and toggle the in-store setting and then turn it on, if the PS5 shows up in the results, even if it’s sold out, your local store might already have some consoles. Why this happens and how it was discovered, we do not know, but in the comments some confirmed that it actually works.
