A new PS5 rest report claims that PlayStation gamers who are still looking for the next-generation console may be able to get one before 2021, courtesy of Target. In the last two days, PS5 refueling has been non-existent. From Amazon, to Walmart, to Best Buy, to GameStop, no one had a PS5 this week. However, it looks like Target is about to push for another round of action just before the end of 2020, or at least that’s what a new report claims.
According to the report, which comes via the Spiel Times, Target stores across the country have started receiving 10-15 console units, while other stores anticipate new stocks to appear this Sunday, December 27th.
At this time, it is not known exactly when these breaks will be launched and it is unclear whether they will be nationwide. However, if some stores do not receive restocking by the end of the weekend, it means that restocking will not take place until next week, probably on Monday or Tuesday.
While stores are apparently receiving PS5 stock this weekend, you still won’t be able to buy any in the store. Your only way to secure any of these stocks will be by buying online. If you manage to secure a console in this way, you will be able to pick it up at the store or deliver it to your home.
As the Spiel Times notes, target repopulations usually happen between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. EST, and, like any other online distributor, every break usually comes with website issues and attracts a lot of robots to compete.
As for the ratio itself, take it with a grain of salt. Although he mentions several sources, Target himself has not announced anything yet. And, of course, even if the stock comes this weekend, it doesn’t mean it will be sold before the end of the year.
