It's funny: PS5 restock is something everyone wants, but only about 3% of people who visit this page sign up for our console Twitter tracker restock alerts. Yet we've helped thousands of consumers who actually do sign up for notifications find the console of their choice. That's very good news for you and your desire to buy PS5 four months after launch. We're expecting restock this week, too.

It'll look like:

Why sign up for PS5 restock alerts? On average, we've seeing PS5 restock sell out in three minutes or less. Some retailers release it in waves to extend the time to buy to 30 or 45 minutes, but when the restock is all about speed, you have just three minutes. Seconds count.

PS5 restock time and date – it's not today

TechRadar has exclusively reported on multiple PS5 drops in the last two weeks, and next we have information that says Amazon has inventory for next week. We'll circle back with the Amazon PS5 restock time and date as soon as it's confirmed.

We're waiting to hear back from sources regarding inventory timing, however, we can tell you that 46,000 PlayStation 5 consoles are being prepped for an online order at Amazon.com.

Here's why the PS5 restock date and time is never set in stone at brick-and-mortar retail stores – and this may apply to Amazon, too: every warehouse that is due consoles needs to get them in first – and there needs to be enough of them distributed around the country. It's an inventory and logistic necessity, we're told.

Also, Amazon, like Best Buy, may not sell through its full inventory to consumers. Some consoles may be held in case someone comes back with a console that's defective. We're told that's rare, but it does happen, so there needs to be enough stock to remedy those issues in each store.

Amazon PS5 restock tips

Ordering PS5 at Amazon is difficult simply because everyone has their credit card information and address plugged into their account. Simply put, there's no time to waste given one-click ordering offered Amazon over other retailers in the US.

That's different from Best Buy, which has you wait on a page until you can actually place the order and re-hit the Add to cart button. It's all in an effort to beat the bots employed by PS5 scalpers.
