The PlayStation 5 console remains difficult to track down, but with PlayStation saying there should be more stock before the end of the year, it is worth keeping an eye out.
Stores like Best Buy, Target, and GameStop have continued to sell out of the PS5 consoles as soon as they become available. Gamers are now taking a different approach to trying to find the elusive PlayStation 5, by using inventory checker websites like PopFindr and Brick Seek.
While these websites are not officially affiliated with PS5 retailers, they may act as a guide to help gamers find out which stores they should be checking. Find out below what the PS5 restock updates are for major retailers and how to use third-party checker sites.
Amazon
The PlayStation 5 Console and Digital Edition is currently unavailable on Amazon and a message on the website reads: "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
Best Buy
Best Buy launched the PS5 consoles online only when they were released, and it says they will only be available online)—rather than in-stores—throughout the holiday season. Best Buy says that the PS5 consoles will become available on the website as soon as it has stock, but there are no confirmed dates for when this may happen.
Costco
The PlayStation 5 was available at Costco for members only, with a limit of one console per customer, but it is now out of stock.
eBay
There are PS5 consoles being sold on eBay for hundreds of dollars more than the recommended retail price. Additionally, some sellers are listing just the PS5 box for sale for hundreds of dollars, so if you choose to purchase a console from a third-party seller, be aware of scams.
GameStop
The PS5 is currently unavailable at GameStop, after the retailer sold out of its limited quantities on Cyber Monday yesterday.
PlayStation Direct
The PlayStation Direct store is out of stock of both the PlayStation 5 console and the Digital Edition. PlayStation has said previously that they would have more stock by the end of the year, however, so there is a chance that they will restock before the holidays.
Target
To check whether Target has any PlayStation 5 consoles in stock, head to the website and use the store locator. The website will tell you if there are any consoles available in stores within 50 miles of your home.
After searching for numerous areas across the U.S., Newsweek was unable to find any Target stores with the PS5 in stock.
However, some gamers on Reddit claim that third-party inventory sites are showing that some stores have the PS5 in stock, while both the Target and app say otherwise.
Walmart
The PS5 is out of stock at Walmart after the retailer sold out of the console within seconds when it was restocked last week.
How does Brickseek work? Is PopFindr accurate?
Alternatively, some gamers on Reddit are using sites like Brickseek and PopFindr to track PS5 stock.
PopFindr is claiming that there is stock at certain Target locations, though the Target website says otherwise.
On BrickSeek, users can search the PS5 UPC number to search for stock at stores like Walmart and Target. BrickSeek is also claiming that there is stock at certain stores, though the retailers' websites say that they are out of stock.
PopFindr and BrickSeek may be helpful as an indicator of where there may be PS5 consoles available, but it would be worth calling your local store to double-check if they have stock before going to the store.
These websites are not an official source of inventory, though may act as a helpful guide and could point gamers in the right direction for which stores to check.
Additionally, some stores may be selling the console online only, so be aware of this before heading out to the store.
