Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock time update: You’ll receive an alert when the PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles are in stock at Walmart tonight – if you follow our PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider on Twitter and turn on notifications. You’ll want to turn your attention to the scheduled Walmart restock time at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT, according to Walmart officials who talked to TechRadar earlier today. If this feels like deja vu, you’re right. There was also a Walmart PS5 and Xbox restock at 12pm EDT, and that console stock – at MSRP – lasted one hour before the Sony and Microsoft video game systems sold out. We’ve confirmed that the next restock time at 9pm EDT will also last an hour, and we’ll send out two restock alerts.
Here’s how to get an alert and advice as soon as the Walmart PS5 and Xbox restock happens tonight:
► When is the next restock? Follow our PS5 and Xbox restock Twitter tracker Matt Swider and turn on notifications for instant restock news. It’s the fastest way to get PS5 and Xbox stock updates.
► Never buy from other Twitter users – ever. They’re all scams. Only buy from the US stores Matt alerts you about. No one will sell a PS5 or Xbox for just $550.
► Need help? Tune into our Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock live stream video to get live coaching next time so you know how to secure your console of choice.

Walmart PS5 and Xbox restock time: tonight
- PS5 and Xbox Series X will be in stock again at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT tonight
- Both consoles were in stock earlier today, August 12 at 12pm EDT / 9am PDT
- The restocks are online-only and each one will last one hour
The official Walmart PS5 and Xbox Series X restock time was 12pm EDT / 9am PDT, and the American retailer will be selling the consoles for MSRP. But that’s not all.
Good news: there will be a second nighttime restock at Walmart, with another batch of PS5 and Xbox consoles going live at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT, so anyone who works during most of these restock events will have a chance to buy them.
This is an abnormal PS5 and Xbox restock time for Walmart. While the retailer does do restocks on a Thursday (but not every Thursday), it’s usually at 3pm EDT. Clearly, Walmart is switching up the times, breaking it into one-hour sessions to give more people a chance to buy the console if they’re not able to get to a computer or phone at 3pm EDT.

Our Walmart PS5 buying guide remains unchanged
Update: While the times have changed, our Walmart guide remains the same. Here’s what to do to get the PS5 and Xbox Series X in your cart.
Walmart is the most popular retailer in the US, so consoles sell out quickly when the PS5 is in stock. This is one case in which the mobile app is the hero and the website is the sidekick. We’ll explain how and why you should use both during a PS5 drop at Walmart.
- Go to the Walmart link we tweet from our tracker – right at the 12pm EDT restock time (and again at 9pm EDT in case you fail to secure a PS5 or Xbox during the first hour-long restock).
- Open it up in both the Walmart app (on your phone) and a browser (preferably a computer).
- Use the browser to determine if PS5 / Xbox is in stock at Walmart (it’ll go in and out of stock in waves (sometimes the computer is better than the app, but rarely).
- Use the mobile app to tap checkout. It’ll give you an error message if it can’t be added to your cart. Dismiss that dialogue box and tap again (the app is usually better since you don’t have to refresh).
- Key tip: Line up the “Sorry” dialogue box’s “dismiss” button with the “add to cart” button by scrolling down. This will allow you to incessantly tap both “dismiss” and “add to cart” and save you so much time.
- Continue to monitor the website to see when restock times are posted (this is where the computer browser is helpful). It usually happens in 10-minute increments, but even if Walmart claims another restock time at 12:10, sometimes they don’t stick to it, so don’t stop tapping the app.
