Today (March 25) is shaping up to be an important day for those hoping to get their hands on a PS5, as Target has already restocked both the regular and digital versions of the PS5 this morning

The availability information comes from Tech Radar (with help from YouTuber Jake Randall), which has been contacted by several Target employees, who say the retailer is planning a major restocking today

Target may not be the only retailer restocking Sony's highly in-demand machines today; Antonline is also expected to accept PS5 orders today This could be in line with Amazon's massive restocking, which has been delayed since last week If all of these restocks materialize, a lot of gamers may be overjoyed ahead of the weekend

Of course, it is important to remember that these restocking reports are speculation until the restocking actually takes place Let us not forget that last week, the rumored major restocking of Amazon did not materialize and broke our hearts

However, Target has been restocking every two weeks recently, and March 25 (aka today) marks the second week since the retailer's last inventory clearance

We track PS5 restocking at all major retailers in our Where to Buy PS5 guide, so keep a close eye on that page for further information on further drops expected today

It may seem obvious, but the first thing to do to ensure your chances of getting a PS5 at Target is to set up an account and make sure all your payment details and address information are saved

You don't want to put the PS5 in your cart and then lose your console because you took the time to enter your card information and zip code

It is worth noting that Target always releases its inventory of game consoles in waves As such, the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition are dropped in separate batches, not all at once So even if you jump on a restock and the consoles sell out, it's worth sticking around in time for the start of a new wave

Jake Randall also suggests setting up payment options such as PayPal, Apple Pay, and RedCard These options would avoid server crashes when thousands of customers try to pay for PS5 at the same time, as the customers would be moved to a separate server to process their payments

The Target app is also worth downloading because it can give you a second chance if your website is struggling to handle a spike in traffic when PS5s are restocked Plus, it's quite handy if you're on the go and doing something else when inventory runs low

Target does not restock in-store, so the only way to get a PS5 from the retailer is online If your local store does not have the PS5 in stock, you can edit your location at checkout to select a store that does

After changing the location, Target may not allow you to proceed through checkout, in which case you should clear your browser cookies and try again
