To many PlayStation fans, the search continues for an available PS5 console. The good news is reliable sources expect several retailers will have them available on Thursday, March 25.
Target, ANTOnline are very likely having PS5 restock on March 25
Gamers have seen relatively frequent PS5 restock activities over the last few weeks and there is more to come this week. TechRadar’s Matt Swider and YouTube creator Jake Randall have both reported with certainty that Target will be having another drop on Thursday.

Swider says there is an 80% chance that the retailer will have PS5 units available through its online store on March 25 while Randall also announced the same “according to [his] contacts.” Considering their record in tracking PS5 restock, people looking to buy the console would want to keep an eye on the anticipated restock on early March 25.

They should be dropping #PS5 tomorrow, Thursday, March 25 according to my contacts! Target never reveals the exact time but it is typically between 6:30am and 9am ET, I WILL LIVE STREAM tomorrow morning (via my YouTube) starting at 7am ET (Keep Reading Part 2...) pic.twitter.com/momzABRrdj
Target does not provide an exact time of when its PS5 restock goes live. But based on previous drops, customers may want to keep the PS5 disc and PS5 digital pages open as early as 6 a.m. ET.
Meanwhile, Swider also predicts there is a 90% chance that ANTOnline will have PS5 consoles available on March 25. He advised his followers to keep the notifications for his tweets active because the timing of ANTOnline’s drop varies more than Target's. Based on previous activities, ANTOnline’s stock can also get sold out immediately so it would also help to keep the retailer’s PS5 page open for the day.
Amazon has yet to release its 46,000 PS5 units
Earlier this week, Amazon had a major Xbox Series X/S restock, but the e-commerce giant has yet to make PS5 available for customers in the United States. In the same update from Swider, he only listed Amazon as having a 25% chance of having a PS5 restock on Thursday, which is interesting because it was leaked last week that the company has 46,000 units of PS5 in inventory.
The same report also suggested that those units were supposed to go on sale last March 18, but it is now speculated that the leak may have convinced Amazon to change its plans. While there is no new tip yet on when the 46,000 PS5 units will be definitively released, gaming fans may want to keep Amazon on their radar if they fail to get the console through Target and ANTOnline on Thursday.
