Update: Best Buy is now sold out of PS5 consoles. Make sure to check our PS5 restock hub for the latest updates and the retailers to check for inventory next. 

The first PS5 restock of 2022 has landed at Best Buy. If you didn’t manage to score a console over the holiday period, now is your first chance of the year to secure a machine. The retailer has the PS5 in stock for $499 via this link. 

Unlikely some previous Best Buy restocks, which required a pricey $200 Totaltech membership, this restock is open to the general public. So head over to the retailer using the links below right now before the console sells out.

How to buy a PS5 at Best Buy 

As with most retailers, setting up a Best Buy account ahead of time should be your first priority. You want to make sure that your payment details and address information is pre-saved in order to shave precious time off your checkout; that could be the difference between securing a PS5 and being left empty-handed. 

Previously, Best Buy PS5 restocks required that your refresh the product page until you see the yellow “add to cart” button or a grey “please wait” button. However, Best Buy’s new process places you in a queue. A pop-up windows says it’ll “verify your account” and check for inventory. So, it pays to sign into your account asap. 

If you see that the PS5 is no longer in stock, you might want to try again via an incognito browser window. Repeat the process until you (hopefully) manage to score a console.
