It’s going to be a busy week for PS5 restock at GameStop. The retailer has been heavily tipped to hold an in-store restock event on Friday (March 11), and it’s just confirmed it will be holding an online drop today (March 8).
Today’s GameStop PS5 restock will kick off at 11 a.m. ET and will be exclusively for PowerUp Reward Pro members. This restock will also be a little different from previous ones, as only the PS5 Digital Edition console will be available to purchase.
Matt Swider of The Shortcut has confirmed that GameStop will offer two bundles during this restock, and both will contain the PS5 Digital Edition. The retailer’s latest shipment of the standard disc-based PS5 is being reserved for its in-store PS5 restock event on Thursday.
PS5 restock at GameStop (check stock)
You will need PowerUp Reward Pro membership to participate in this restock. GameStop has been gating next-gen console stock behind its premium membership scheme since last summer, and there’s no indication this practice will end any time soon. Pro membership costs $15 annually, which could be a small price to pay if it helps you secure a PS5.
It should also be noted that GameStop always puts its allocation of the PS5 into bundles. According to Swider, there will be two bundle offered in this drop. The first will cost $652 and includes the PS5 Digital console, a controller charging station, an extra DualSense controller, $50 PSN gift card, 12-Months’ PlayStation Plus membership and a $50 GameStop gift card.
The second costs $661 and includes the PS5 Digital console, a controller charging station, an extra DualSense controller and a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD with heatsink. These are pretty pricey packages, but GameStop always charges the combined retail price of the items within its bundles, so at least you won’t be getting price gouged.
If you’re unwilling to sign up for PowerUp Reward Pro membership to score a PS5 or just want the console on its own without any extras, then make sure to bookmark our PS5 restock hub. This comprehensive guide is updated daily with the latest stock information for every major retailer.
How to become a PowerUp Rewards Pro Member
In June 2021, GameStop announced that it was changing the way it handles console restocks. It will now give first dibs to its PowerUp Rewards Pro members. Although there’s a free tier, only Pro members will get early access to the restocks. Membership starts at $14.99 per year and includes perks like a Game Informer subscription, $5 reward coupons per month (total of $60/year), 10% extra trade credit on games/accessories, and a $5 welcome certificate. If you sign up today, you’ll have access to upcoming restocks.
GameStop restock — tips and tricks
It may be obvious, but you’ll want to have a GameStop account and be logged into your account when the restock begins. If you click the “add to cart” button and nothing happens, try refreshing the page.
Alternatively, you could clear your browser cookies and try to open the page via an incognito web browser. You might be asked to solve a captcha before adding the console to your cart. We don’t yet know if this restock will be opened up to the general public after the early access window.
What to do if you miss out
As with the previous GameStop PS5 restock events, these units will sell out fast. But if you missed out, don’t worry — there will be other restock events in the future.
