Walmart will be the next retailer to hold a PS5 restock even this week. According to the latest report, the U.S. store will be dropping the batch of the next-gen consoles on Tuesday, Apr. 19.
While it's hard to snag Sony's gaming machine at the moment, Walmart proves that there's hope for others who have missed the previous drops.
Walmart PS5 Restock
As CNET writes in its report, Walmart officially announced that users can now get PlayStation 5 units in the store soon. The console drop is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday, Apr. 19 at around 12:00 PM ET or 9:00 AM PT.
Moreover, you can have the option to obtain either of the two: the digital and the disk PS5 editions. However, there's a catch for this event.
Again, Walmart will only be rolling out PS5 stocks for Walmart Plus subscribers. For those who are unsubscribed to this service, you may miss this event for another time.
For those unfamiliar with this subscription offer, it started in 2021, prior to the holiday rush. Once you pay for Walmart Plus, you can enjoy a nice set of perks that only exclusive members can get.
Apart from that, the US retail giant sees this as an effective mechanism to bar scalper bots from ruining the restock events. This is the reason why it's limited to just a few users. For its pricing, you need to pay a monthly charge of $13.
Walmart Restock Tips
In a report from Tom's Guide, you can take advantage of the event in just a few steps. Don't forget to set up your Walmart account so you won't be left behind by the latest announcements from the store.
Our advice: create an account for a quick checkout. Double-check your personal information, including your email address, password, billing address, and more.
It should be noted that the Walmart PS5 restocks have a pattern. It regularly drops every 10 to 15 minutes. If you have no luck in snagging a console in the first drop, you might want to test your luck in the second round.
You should also take note that the major restock in Walmart could last for up to three hours, so you need to be patient at all times. We advise you to keep trying until you obtain the elusive console continuously.
For a faster method of securing a console, you can add the product to the list right away. Adding it to the wish list makes the job easier for aspiring PS5 owners. It's a guaranteed tactic that has already worked for many users.
If you are not able to score a PlayStation 5 console here, you can check the other retailers in the region. We never know if they will have a surprise drop in the next few days.
