Target hasn’t had a PS5 restock since April 28, but it looks like that may change very soon as the retailer is being tipped for a drop of the in-demand console at some point this week.
Some eager customers had hoped for a Target PS5 restock last week, however, that unfortunately didn’t come to pass. Nevertheless, stock tracking sources have suggested that the red retailer has been slowly building its stock behind the scenes and while we can’t say for certain a drop will occur this week, the likelihood of a Target PS5 restock this week seems fairly good.

PS5: $499 @ Target
Sony’s PS5 is one of the most in-demand products in the world right now. For good reason. Packing the ability to play games in 4K at 60 fps it’s a true next-gen experience. Target is being tipped for a PS5 restock this week. View Deal
PS5 Digital Edition: $399 @ Target
The PS5 Digital edition features the same powerful specs as the regular PS5, just minus the 4K Blu-ray drive. It’s ideal for those who can’t stand disc swapping. Target hasn’t had any stock of the Digital Edition for over a month, but could restock this week. View Deal

The idea that Target will restock in the coming days stems from Jake Randall, a YouTuber and full-time PS5 stock tracker. He released a video yesterday (May 25) where he suggested that the retailer has been building up its allocation of PS5s for a while now. Randall has correctly called several Target restocks in the past, so his sources would certainly appear to be legitimate.
??Target UPDATE??The restock is HAPPENING! I have confirmation directly from dozens of stores they have received PS5’s last night and today!

Randall didn’t provide a specific date for this Target restock, however it appears that it will likely take place today (May 26 ) or tomorrow (May 27). These dates are based on the retailer’s past drops. However, Best Buy has already shown this week that retailers can throw a curveball and restock on any day of the week, so Target could feasibly drop at any point this week.
We do not know what day but its most likely Wednesday or Thursday at the usual time, 6am – 9am ET. (most often 7:30-8:00am ET). I AM LIVE STREAMING TOMORROW at 6am ET and I will have a link up by tonight! If no drop tomorrow morning I will stream Thursday as well. Let’s GO!May 25, 2021
When Target does restock it typically does so between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. ET, so keep an eye on the retailer’s site during those hours next week. The console is likely to sell out in minutes so you’ll need to be fast and have a slice of good fortune on your side as well. Consult the buying advice below for some handy tips that could tip the odds in your favor.
It’s unknown whether the next Target drop will contain any stock of the PS5 Digital Edition. The all-digital model of the PS5 is even harder to get hold of than the standard version right now, with several recent restocks at major retailers solely containing the PS5 Disc Edition.
It’s worth remembering that this is ultimately all just speculation and shouldn’t be taken as official confirmation of a PS5 restock this week. Target may not take fresh orders of the console this week, and there is the chance its next drop could be delayed until an even later date. When it comes to PS5 restocks there are frustrating few guarantees.
To make sure you don’t miss out on the stock drop, we’re tracking PS5 restocks not just at Target but also at every major retailer. Make sure to bookmark our where to buy a PS5 guide for the latest stock information as we get it.
How to buy a PS5 at Target
Firstly, ensure you have an account set up with your payment and address details stored. This is a vital step if you want to secure a PS5 during a restock. Getting stock in your basket is only half the battle, you don’t want the console to sell out while you’re entering your details. Make sure it’s all pre-saved so you can checkout in seconds.
Target is known for releasing stock in waves, typically going first with the PS5 standard edition and then following it up with a restock of the PS5 Digital edition. So even if you get on the retailer and the PS5 is already sold out, it’s worth sparing the extra time to see if you can catch a second wave.
Jake Randall also suggests using alternative payment methods such as PayPal, Apple Pay, or RedCard if possible. The advantage with these is that they use a separate payment portal which bypasses Target’s own servers which have in the past collapsed under the strain of thousands of people all trying to secure that coveted order confirmation email.
Target also has an app that can be used to try and secure a PS5. A good trick is to try and checkout during a restock on both a desktop and a mobile device. It’s recommended that if you manage to add the PS5 to your cart on one, you switch over to the other to complete checkout. So long as you’re logged in it’ll keep track of the content of your cart.
Finally, at checkout, you can edit your location to select a store that has PS5 in stock if your local is sold out. Occasionally doing this might stop you from progressing further through the checkout process, but if you encounter this issue just clear your browser cookies and give it a second try.
