Walmart to Restock PS5, Xbox Series X Today for Walmart+ Members
Still trying to buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X? Walmart+ members get another chance today.
The sale, announced in an email sent to Walmart+ members, kicks off at 9 a.m. PST/ 12 p.m. EST on March 14. Use the links below to place an order once the time arrives:
PlayStation 5 for $499.99
PlayStation 5 disc-less digital edition for $399.99
Xbox Series X for $499.99
If you don’t have a membership to Walmart’s perk program, it only costs $12.95 a month or $98 a year. So paying for a one-month subscription may be worthwhile if it finally helps you obtain one of the consoles.
Just make sure you avoid getting the 30-day free trial for Walmart+, since the console restock won't be available to trial members. Visit this Walmart+ sign up page; under the payment method, the page should tell you when the membership starts. In this case, you’ll want it to say March 14.
If you participate in today’s restock, you'll want to be ready to place your order once the sale starts. Any delay and you’ll likely lose your chance to score a console. We also recommend you try placing the order using both a smartphone and desktop browser.
Expect Walmart’s product pages for the consoles to drag due to surge in user traffic. But if all goes well, the retailer should place you into a digital queue, which will tell you how long you’ll need to wait before you can purchase the products.
It’s certainly annoying that Walmart continues to place the console sales behind a payment membership. But at least the retailer isn’t forcing you to buy the products in a bundle like GameStop. For other tips on landing a PS5 or Xbox Series X, check out our guide.
