It’s been well over a year since Sony’s PlayStation 5 console first launched, yet it’s still incredibly difficult for consumers to get their hands on one without paying marked-up scalper prices. One retailer that has consistently had PS5 restocks isGameStop, and now it’s confirmed the next time users will have the chance to buy a PlayStation 5 bundle. The nextGameStopPS5 restock is officially announced to be taking place tomorrow, March 8, at 10:00am CT.
The GameStop PS5 restock will only include bundles and will presumably be online-only. Like usual,GameStop is giving its Pro members first dibson the bundles, so anyone that wants to increase their odds of buying a PS5 during the restock may want to think about signing up. Come 10am CT, GameStop Pro members will have the chance to buy one of two different PlayStation 5 bundles that will be on sale.

GameStop PS5 Restock Date and Time
Hopefully by the end of the year, getting a PlayStation 5 will be much easier. Fans had plenty of warning that thePS5 supply shortageswere going to continue into 2022, but it still has to be frustrating for people who have been unable to get a PS5. However, it does seem like there is some light at the end of the tunnel, and we may be getting much closer to the day when someone can walk into a store and walk out with a PS5 in tow.
Those that can’t wait for the PS5 supply shortage issues to be resolved can try signing up for the GameStop Pro membership to increase their odds of successfully getting a console whenever there’s a restock. Other retailers have similar programs, like theWalmart+ subscription programthat also gives customers first dibs on new console restocks. So even if fans are unsuccessful at getting a PS5 with this restock, maybe they’ll have better luck next time.
