Walmart Announces PS5 Restock for Next Month

It's been nearly two years since the PlayStation 5 console first launched, and it's still incredibly difficult to find. A variety of factors have made it next to impossible for consumers to get their hands on a PS5 console without paying ridiculous scalper prices, but all potential owners can do is keep trying whenever a restock is announced.
