Sony and Microsoft have already issued plenty of warnings to video game fans that the supplies of PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will continue to be tight for the foreseeable future. On the bright side, one major retailer has confirmed the consoles will be available online later this week ahead of the highly anticipated Black Friday sale.
Walmart is one of the first major retailers in the United States to reveal its catalog for upcoming deals that will be available through Black Friday. The 20-page ad confirms that there will be an online-exclusive PS5 and Xbox Series X/S restocks on Monday, Nov. 22, at 7 p.m. ET.
Based on the ad, all console variants will be restocked, including the standard PS5 (disc and digital, $499), digital edition PS5 ($399), Xbox Series X ($499), and Xbox Series S ($299). The last console mentioned can be purchased standalone or with the Xbox All Access, which allows customers to buy in a 24-month installment plan with a 24-month subscription of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
The Walmart ad also confirms that Walmart+ customers are getting an early access perk that will allow them to order online four hours before the sale goes live for everyone else. Walmart+ is the retailer’s membership plan that costs $98 a year. While the retailer offers a 15-day free trial, an FAQ page says customers need to be a “paying Walmart+ member” to enjoy early access.
The Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles will be available online “while supplies last,” according to the Walmart ad. The brochure did not mention if these products would be on sale in-store on Black Friday on Nov. 26. But the Xbox Series S is confirmed to be available in-store on Black Friday, starting at 5 a.m. local time. It is also worth noting that the Xbox Series S is still available via Amazon as of this writing.
Sony is continuing its invite-only PS5 restock with the latest drop happening on Tuesday, Nov. 16. The email invite does not mention a specific starting time of the sale, but Matt Swider’s sources say customers may be able to queue at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT.
