PlayStation 5 fans praying for a restock could get their prayers answered this week, with reports claiming major retailers like Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, Target and more will be stocking up on Sony's latest console.

A new restock is expected to hit online shops between August 16 and August 22, according to GamingIntel. This is a welcome surprise, given the previous restocks didn't turn out well for gamers.

However, a new technique has been uncovered in the way Walmart restocks are normally done.

Although the technique was developed for the Xbox Series X restock rather than the PlayStation 5, the two restocks are frequently comparable in terms of how they are issued.

The PS5 restock was replenished for an hour at Walmart, which meant that the window for purchasing the PS5 stock online was extended to one hour.

Despite the fact that the stock will be sold out in a couple of seconds, gamers' chances of getting the PS5 have grown dramatically.

Every ten minutes, Walmart restocks PS5 consoles in batches. This meant that gamers who missed the first batch may still participate in the second!

It's critical to keep an eye on these online stores because stock levels can fluctuate at any time. However, there is a better way to predict when the stock will drop.

Rather than checking the restock every now and again, players can simply follow PS5 restock tracker Twitter accounts to see whether new stock has become available.

Restock trackers basically send out a tweet anytime a fresh PS5 restock becomes available online, and those who have notifications turned on can move as soon as new supply becomes available.

The dynamics of the PS5 restock have also changed, as there have been past PS5 restock notices sent out through email urging gamers to buy the console online.

Although each website's method varies, one thing that purchasers must have is an account with all of the various online merchants so that they may have the console for a smoother transaction when they arrive.
