For the best chance at securing a PS5 or Xbox Series X in today's Walmart restocks, we highly suggest logging into your Walmart account ahead of time and making sure both your payment and shipping info are up to date. This will help checkout go as smoothly as possible, as every second counts during a console restock. You'll want to be ready on the listing ahead of time, and don't give up if the console seems to sell out right away--keep refreshing and trying.

This marks the first time that Walmart has held two restocks on the same day, and the retailer is one of the few stores that announces its restocks ahead of time so that hopeful buyers can be prepared. Of course, this gives scalpers a heads up as well. Walmart restocks have been particularly frustrating in the past due to how quickly the PS5 and Xbox Series X sell out, but the 10-minute restock intervals do give you multiple chances at snagging a console, and if the morning restock sells out, you'll be able to try again this evening.
