Target is currently hosting a major PS5 restock at the moment. This Thursday morning, Dec. 16, expect that many buyers will rush to the store just to obtain this elusive console.

If you are here to score Sony's gaming gadget before Christmas, now is the best time to go to this retailer to get one. Don't miss your chance of grabbing PlayStation 5 on Target, but be ready for a long queue ahead since many retailers have reportedly canceled their pre-holiday orders.

Target PS5 Restock is Now Live 

Previously, Gaming Intel reported that Target has been preparing to drop PS5 stocks from their warehouses. At first, many people did not believe this rumor, but it turns out that it's true as of Dec. 16.

Of course, customers expect it to be a major restock event for bigger chances of snagging the console. However, some reports said that what would happen on Thursday is just a minor stock drop.

Regardless of whether it is huge or a small restock wave, it's still worth visiting the store for this opportunity. Prominent restock insider Jake Randall previously predicted that this would happen in Target pretty soon.

According to the restock expert, if the store will stop dropping consoles on Dec. 16, the next PS5 restock could likely take place on Friday, Dec. 17 from 6 AM to 9 AM ET.

For now, Target will allow customers to purchase PlayStations online. The in-store pickups remain available in the store, according to the report.
