Walmart will restock the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 today. The consoles are difficult to find these days, so any heads up for stock increases can help give you the edge to finding a console to purchase.
The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S hit virtual shelves at 2:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM PT on March 18. The PS5 drops a half hour later at 3 PM ET / 12 AM PT. The consoles are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, so make sure to have your browser ready and to start refreshing right as they get back in stock.
Xbox Series X is Microsoft's new flagship, as its most powerful console with over 12TF GPU performance and a custom SSD. It boasts up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS, full backward compatibility across four generations, and ray-tracing support.
Microsoft serves the next-generation for less with its budget-friendly Xbox Series S. The console packs the same high-performance CPU and SSD technology as Xbox Series X, while scaling back the GPU and removing the disc drive.
Sony has debuted its next-generation PlayStation 5, with unprecedented demand across the globe. The new gaming console pushes 4K resolution gaming up to 120 frames-per-second (FPS) delivering the best experiences across a blockbuster exclusive lineup.
Finding a console in stock is still incredibly difficult in March 2021 due to chip shortages and other factors. If you want a new console, you'll need to cross your fingers, hit refresh on your browser repeatedly, and hope that you get lucky.
