Update: PS5 is currently sold out at Target. Please check our PS5 restocking hub for the latest restocking information and a list of alternative retailers that may have them in stock. The latest Target PS5 restock is currently underway. This PS5 restocking rumor was brought to us by YouTuber and video game console inventory tracker Jake Randall.

The national retailer had not restocked Sony's popular next-generation console since July 9, so a drop this week was expected based on Target's past restocking patterns. This won't last long, as the console remains extremely popular. If you still want a PS5, buy one now at the link below.

In a recent tweet, Randall suggested that the "biggest Target restocking in months" is imminent. According to sources within his retailer, stores have each received approximately 10-20 PS5s in the last week. This is a significant increase from the usual 5-8 units each store has before restocking.

For this reason, Randall believes that the next restock of Target PS5s will likely take place this week. Wednesday (July 28) and Thursday (July 29) were seen as most likely based on past Target restockings, but tomorrow (Friday, July 30) seems most likely, as the normal restocking window came and went today without showing any signs of dropping.

Jake Randall has proven to be a reliable source of PS5 restocking information in the past. He had previously called several Target drops ahead of time. However, nothing should be taken as fact unless it comes directly from a retailer. Since it has been over two weeks since the last PS5 drop, it seems likely that Target will restock this week, but at this point it should still be taken as speculation.

If you are still trying to secure a PS5, be sure to bookmark our PS5 restocking hub. This guide contains the latest restocking information we've received, as well as any rumors or possible leaks. While this won't guarantee you a PS5, it will make the task of getting your hands on 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 sell 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 the PS5 digital version. Therefore, even if the PS5 is already sold out at the retailer, it is worth sparing the time to go after the second wave.

Jake 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 the restock on both your desktop and mobile device. Once you are able to add the PS5 to your cart on one, we recommend switching to the other to complete the checkout process. As long as you are logged in, the contents of your cart will be recorded.

Finally, during 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, clear your browser cookies and try again.
