Walmarthas been one of the biggest retailers when it comes to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X restocks, with the company regularly listing and then selling out of both next-generation consoles. Bots, scalpers, and high demand have made it difficult for people to buy PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles through Walmart, but things have been made a bit easier for members of theWalmart+ subscription program, who were given first dibs on the company’s Black Friday console stock and will reap the rewards come Cyber Monday as well.

There are other benefits to the Walmart+ program besides just early access for special shopping events, so those who frequently buy things fromWalmartmay want to consider signing up for it regardless. Walmart+ costs $98 per year or $12.95 per month for those interested. There’s also a free trial, but it’s unclear if the Cyber Monday deals will be available to those doing the free trial.

Eventually, it should be much easier for consumers to get their hands on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles, but it’s unclear exactly when that may be. As it stands, thechip shortagesare expected to continue throughout 2022 and may last until 2023 or even later. That combined with supply chain issues, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and a multitude of other issues could keep PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles difficult to find.
Those who can wait to play PS5 andXbox Series X gamesmay want to just wait until it’s more convenient to buy the consoles from stores, but others can take advantage of things like Walmart+ to make it slightly more likely that they’ll be able to buy a console at a reasonable price.
