Where to buy PS5 on Black Friday 2021: times, restocks & deals at Walmart

PlayStation 5 (PS5) has been a success for Sony as it has become the second fastest-selling PlayStation console. It was the fastest one for its first months of existence, but the chips shortage and the logistics problems that grew out of the Covid-19 pandemic have made it fall behind PS4 sales in the last 6 months, according to Bloomberg. The high demand and the limited production make PS5 a highly desired device for many users who need to check constantly for new stock. Luckily, there is an upcoming new opportunity to buy this console before the Holiday season: Black Friday 2021 on November 26.

On Black Friday 2020, PS5 was one of the most anticipated tech items since it was globally released just a couple of weeks before. One year later, with a wider catalog of next-gen gaming titles already launched, its interest remains high. Main US retail stores such as Walmart have already stated that they will have available online restock and deals on sale for the upcoming Black Friday 2021. Others like GameStop, Target and Best Buy haven't announced it yet. However, knowing how prone users are to consume during this time of the year, they will probably have it in stock. There are two versions of the new Sony console, one of which is a model with a disc-reader worth $499. The other is a digital-only version valued at $399.

Check below where you can buy a PS5 and what deals are available during Black Friday in Walmart as well as the time the sales will go live, and the specific sites to check so you don't miss the opportunity. It's very likely to sell out quickly.
