It feels like the recent PS5 restock drought has dragged far longer than previous gaps in availability, but there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. PS5 stock tracker Matt Swider (opens in new tab) has kicked off rumors of a (so far unannounced) drop in-store at GameStop (opens in new tab) this weekend, May 28. Meanwhile, those on the hunt for online stock will find the console available at Walmart (opens in new tab) on Thursday June 2 (though this drop is reserved for paid Walmart Plus members (opens in new tab) only).
While we haven't heard anything from the likes of Best Buy (opens in new tab), Amazon (opens in new tab), or Target (opens in new tab) for a few weeks now, Sony (opens in new tab) did also offer up another PS5 restock just yesterday, so the tides may well be turning. It seems a new shipment of consoles is making its way to the shelves over the next couple of weeks, so anyone struggling to find their next console should be keeping their ears close to the ground.
GameStop's in-store PS5 restock is the latest rumor to hit the airwaves, with three bundles reportedly set to sit on the shelves in "most stores" across the US, according to Swider. The cheapest proposed bundle still comes in at $718.97, but nets you the disc edition of the console, a Cosmic Red extra DualSense controller, Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, and a $25 PSN gift card.
All of this certainly bodes well for those retailers we haven't heard from as well, so if you're not planning on camping outside a physical store, we'd recommend staying in touch with your favorite online retailers over the next couple of weeks.
