Xbox Series X and PS5 restock coming to Walmart tonight at 9 p.m. ET
It’s been a rough few weeks for console fans hoping to get a new PS5, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. But as we approach Black Friday, it’s hard not to hope for some sort of Festivus miracle. At least one retailer is already spreading holiday cheer: Walmart has confirmed that it will have all four next-gen consoles — both versions of the PS5, the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S — available for online-only sales at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET) tonight — Wednesday, Nov. 25.
It’s no surprise that launch day didn’t go well for the retailer. So many people tried to order the PS5 on Nov. 12 that Walmart’s site buckled under the traffic. But the good news is that things went a little better on Nov. 19, when Walmart had another sales event. We heard from a number of CNET readers who confirmed they successfully ordered a console.
Even so, your odds of snagging a console tomorrow are not great. Inventory is still low, and average consumers like you and me continue to compete with bots. So when Nov. 25 rolls around, if you are one of the successful ones, please let us know in the comments.
To make it a little easier to quickly get to the product page at game time, as it were, we’ve linked to the Walmart product pages of all the consoles below. Looking for other retailers? Check for restocks at Amazon, GameStop and Target here.
