Update: Today's Target PS5 restock has ended, so be sure to check our PS5 restock hub for updates on PS5 restocks and the next retailer you should check to see what's in stock. This is the biggest Target PS5 restock of the year. This restock has significantly more consoles available than usual, but they are still likely to sell out quickly, so head to the retailers now at the links below.

While several retailers are restocking on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Target has been unusually quiet and did not grace its annual sale event with price cuts on Sony's highly in-demand consoles, but is now taking new orders for Sony's in-demand consoles.

The price cut was indeed overdue, as the retailer has not restocked the PS5 since November 19. The restocking news first came from PS5 inventory tracking expert and YouTuber Jake Randall, who claimed that Targets may have the largest restocking of the year. This tip proved to be correct, and Targets is restocking consoles right now.

This is a very important update because Randall is known to have very reliable Target sources. The inventory tracker announced on Twitter that Target stores nationwide have "the most PS5s in 2021," with some stores currently having as many as 100 consoles available for sale. If retailers have such large inventories, it seems certain that the PS5 will be restocked in the near future.

In the past, Target has always restocked later in the week, most commonly on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, there is speculation that as early as today (Tuesday, November 30), the company may cancel a significant allocation of next-generation game consoles.

The exact timing is unknown, but for the dozens of restockings in 2021, Target has almost always opened the gates for orders between 6 am and 9 am EST. There is no indication that this will change.

There is definitely reason to be excited about this restocking news. Jake Randall had previously called several Target drops exactly ahead of time. However, until we hear directly from the retailer itself, this information should not be considered a guarantee. While it seems likely that Target will restock, there is no confirmation that this will happen.

While we wait to see if this massive Target restocking will happen, please bookmark our PS5 restocking hub. This comprehensive guide contains the latest restocking information we have received, as well as any rumors or possible leaks. While this won't guarantee that you'll get a PS5, it may make the task of acquiring Sony's popular gaming console a little easier.

First, make sure you have an account set up with your payment and address details saved. This is an essential step if you want to secure your PS5 when it is restocked. Stocking the basket is only half the battle. You don't want the console to be sold out while you are entering the details. Make sure everything is saved so you can check out in seconds.

Target is known for releasing inventory in waves, usually releasing the regular PS5 first, followed by a restock of PS5 digital versions. Therefore, even if the PS5 is already sold out at the retailer, it is worth sparing the time to go after the second wave.

Randall also recommends using alternative payment methods such as PayPal, Apple Pay, and RedCard if possible. The advantage of these is that using another payment portal avoids Target's own servers, which have collapsed under the burden of trying to secure the order confirmation emails that thousands of people have coveted in the past.

Target also has an app that can be used to secure PS5. A good trick is to try to check out on both desktop and mobile devices upon restocking. Once you have PS5 in your cart on one side, it is recommended that you switch to the other side to complete the checkout. As long as you are logged in, the contents of your cart will be recorded.

Finally, at checkout, if your local store is sold out, you may edit your location to select a store that has PS5 in stock. If you encounter this issue, please clear your browser cookies and try again.
