The PlayStation 5 has finally launched, after years of rumor, speculation, and hype. It dropped on Thursday, November 12th, and for the thousands of frustrated Sony fans who missed out on the narrow pre-order windows or the opportunity to grab one at launch, there's a glimmer of hope. A number of major retailers have announced that they'll have consoles available online for Black Friday.

Due to the ongoing pandemic a number of retailers, including Walmart, won't offer the console for in-store purchase, so the retailer pages linked below are your best shot for snagging one.

Update: Walmart has confirmed they'll have the PS5 in stock at 3 PM ET on Thursday, Novevember 19th. This is only online, no in-store restock.

Walmart has confirmed that they'll restock the PS5 as part of their Deals for Days event, kicking off on November 25th ahead of Black Friday. Stock will again only be available online, not in physical stores.

Amazon hasn't announced any specific restock plans as of yet, but they were a strong source for both next-gen consoles on launch day, so it's worth regularly checking in.
