Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock update — what you need to know - Tom's Guide

Looking for where to buy PS5 or where to buy Xbox Series X? Walmart ran a restock on both on Thursday, presenting shoppers with another chance to score a next-gen console before the holidays.

Tipped by the Walmart Canada Gaming twitter account, PS5 stock became available online on Dec. 3, at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT. Xbox Series X stock became available soon after at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT. At the time of writing (4 p.m. ET on December 4), the Xbox Series S is still in stock — but remember, only Canadians can order goods from Walmart Canada.

Although the account that made the restock announcement belongs to Walmart's Canada brand, it's still absolutely worth checking U.S. stock at the same time.

When you shop at Walmart, you can only buy one console per household, meaning there's likely a limitation in place based on your contact information or shipping address. However, there's no guarantee that the consoles will arrive before Christmas.

High-demand, limited availability and greedy scalpers have created headaches for anyone interested in buying the PS5 or Xbox Series X, especially through online stores. We wish you luck with your attempts — who knows? Maybe enough people have either scored one already or settled on waiting until 2021.

No matter, we're tracking stock alerts around-the-clock, so be sure to check back often for updates on console availability.
