Almost a year after launch, one might not expect theXbox Series XandPlayStation 5consoles to be still hard to find. While the consoles are not as scarce as earlier this year, many retailers still have trouble keeping them in stock,often selling out in under an hour.
Fortunately for anyone still on the hunt, Walmart will be restocking both consoles on its website later today. The restock begins at 6 PM Pacific/9 PM Eastern and includes theXbox Series XHalo Infinitebundle.

Tonight’s restock follows the same pattern as earlier ones from the same retailer. Walmart will open up one batch of consoles at 6 PM Pacific/9 PM Eastern and repeat every ten minutes until the consoles sell out. The company does this to prevent its servers from being overloaded by requests. It also gives customers extra chances tosnag a PS5 or Xbox Series X console for themselves. Prospective buyers may want to sign in or create a Walmart account beforehand to ensure their payment and shipping information is up to date. Customers can also do the same using the Walmart app on their smartphone or tablet.
According to a statement Walmart made to GameSpot, the best way to find the items is by going to the pages linked below. This is because the SKU on some items has changed. Note that the Xbox links are not active as of this writing but should become so when the restock begins. Similarly, the PlayStation pages currently show merchandise fulfilled by Walmart but sold by third-party vendors. As such, the PlayStation 5s may have a significantly different price before the restock begins.
As shown above, the restock includes the standard PS5 and Xbox Series X, the less expensive PS5 Digital, and the limited-edition Xbox Series X Halo Bundle. The PS5 Digital Edition usually retails for about $399,$100 less than the standard PlayStation 5 console. For gamers on a budget, that might make it the best of the four. Meanwhile, those in the mood to spend some money can try to snag the ultra-rare Xbox Series X Halo Bundle for $549.
The latter package includes a black, grey, and gold Xbox Series X console with designs inspired byHalo’s Forerunners. It also comes with a matching wireless controller anda digital copy ofHalo Infinite. However,Halofans will have to act fast, as the exclusive console will likely be the first to sell out this evening.
