PS5 restocking returns to Walmart. This will be the first drop of Sony’s next-generation console in retail in over two months, and as with previous drops, this Walmart PS5 restock will be exclusive to Walmart Plus members.
Matt Swider (Opens in a new tab) From abbreviation (Opens in a new tab) Reports indicate that Walmart will offer an opportunity to purchase the PS5 at 3 PM ET today (Tuesday, August 23). Trusted Restock Tracker notes that the retailer will offer the Sony Horizon Forbidden West PS5 bundle at the standard retail price of $550 (it’s a PS5 console and a copy of the game). Swider’s source also notes that a standalone PS5 Disc console could also be offered at the same time.
It’s important to note that you won’t be able to participate in a restock or sales event if you have a free Walmart Plus trial, so you’ll need a paid subscription to participate. (Could you Subscribe to Walmart Plus via this Walmart link (Opens in a new tab).) Membership costs $98 per year, although there is an option for $12.95 per month. Be sure to check out our Walmart promo codes page for other discounts and coupons.

Walmart Restocking Event – Tips and Tricks
The first thing you want to do is create a file Walmart.com account (Opens in a new tab) If you don’t already have one. Enter your address and credit card information so that you can pay quickly if you register for a console. You’ll also need to know the correct PS5 landing pages at Walmart. (You’ll find the links above.)
Once the consoles are available at Walmart, you will have to act super fast to secure and purchase the console. However, it should be noted that Walmart tends to release inventory every 10 to 15 minutes. So if you don’t score a console on the first try, keep trying. In general, Walmart restocks took anywhere from 1 hour to up to 3 hours. So it pays to keep trying.
Many have reported that adding the PS5 to their shopping list has helped them get their hands on the PS5. To do this, log into your Walmart account and go to PS5 product page (Opens in a new tab) at Walmart. Click the “Add to List” icon below the console image. You will then be asked to create a name for your wish list.
The next time Walmart restocks the PS5, you should be able to add the console to your cart via your Wishlist (instead of going to the product page and waiting for it to appear in stock. Again, your mileage may vary with this Tactic, but it worked in the past.
If you decline to subscribe to Walmart Plus, don’t lose hope. We’re bound to see more restocks over the coming weeks, but keep in mind that most of the declines these days are behind the membership paywall ban.
