Rumors suggest a PlayStation 5 console restock is coming to Target later in October. Sony’s new-gen system launched back in November 2020 alongside competitor Xbox Series X/S, and it has since remained difficult for customers to purchase either legitimately online and in stores. PS5s were also available in-store at GameStop today, as many holiday shoppers are still looking to get their hands on the console as it slowly becomes less elusive.

The PS5 was highly praised upon release, with a number of features helping it to stand out next to competitors like Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. The new-gen PlayStation and Xbox SSDs give the consoles a new tier of performance, allowing them to make use of graphical techniques like ray tracing for realistic lighting effects. The PS5’s state-of-the-art DualSense controller also received particular praise, with features such as haptic feedback and adaptive controllers to increase immersion in new ways. This success and exclusive first-party PS4 and PS5 games library has unfortunately contributed in making the new console difficult to purchase in many regions, though the PS5 is reportedly easiest to buy in China and some other parts of the world.

Now, Spiel Times claims PlayStation 5 consoles may soon be restocked online for in-store pickup at Target. A source has informed Spiel Times that Target is receiving new PS5 stock soon, which would allow the stores to start selling more of the consoles in the very near future. October 22 and October 27 were mentioned as particularly likely days for the PS5 restock to become available, so customers looking to acquire their own consoles should look for official Target communications confirming as much. Target reportedly updates its website’s product page before sales actually begin, giving customers some time to prepare.

The limited availability of PS5s has led to steep competition among prospective buyers, so several distributors have taken unusual measures when selling the console. This even extends to PlayStation Direct, Sony’s official storefront for PS5 and official accessory sales, which asks customers to register for a chance to buy the console. Due to consistently high demand and lagging supply, PlayStation Direct recently opened holiday registration for customers looking to potentially buy a PS5 directly from Sony during the 2021 holiday season. With interest in the console evidently still high, the next few months will likely be hectic for any gaming shoppers at legitimate retailers.

The coveted PS5 has been extremely elusive since launch, with only small improvements in the system’s availability recently being made a year later. The stock of new-gen hardware was no doubt affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which slowed production, introduced a global microchip shortage, and increased customer demand during quarantines. While there’s bound to be an increase in the number of available consoles in the near future, it is currently still a struggle for many when shopping for PS5s at legitimate retailers. The October 2021 Target restock is just a rumor for now, but stock numbers suggest a sale could be imminent.
