Walmart is once again restocking the PlayStation 5 — but only for customers subscribed to the retailer’s perks program, Walmart+.
The restock is scheduled for this Wednesday, Dec. 8 at 9 a.m. PT/ 12 p.m. EST. Use the links below to place an order once the time arrives:
There’s also a chance the retailer will restock the Xbox Series X at the same time. We’ve reached out to Walmart for comment, and we’ll update the story if we hear back. In the meantime, you can use the link below:
We know. It’s disappointing that Walmart continues to restrict console sales to Walmart+ members. However, a Walmart+ membership only costs $12.95 per month. So if you’re still struggling to score a PS5 this holiday shopping season, the membership may be worth it.
Don’t Sign Up for the Free Walmart+ Trial
If you decide to participate, do not subscribe to Walmart+ 15-day free trial. These restocks are exclusive to paying Walmart+ members. To bypass the free trial, click the “Join Walmart+” link on the product listings. It takes you to a page where you can sign up and start paying right away. Scroll down and click Start paid membership.
Also, be prepared to place your order as soon as the sale goes live on Dec. 8. Any delay and you can say goodbye to your chances of securing the products. Once you enter the product pages, Walmart’s website should place you into a digital queue that’ll tell you how much time is left before you place an order for the console. But don’t be surprised if you encounter glitches due to the high traffic.
A week ago, the retailer held a similar restock for Walmart+ members during a Cyber Monday event. Consoles sold out in minutes, even for Walmart+ members who pounced the moment the sales started.
