The chances of securing a PlayStation 5 remain frustratingly slim for gamers, with Sony's next-gen console either sold out or available in very limited quantities at major retailers.
A combination of enormous demand since the console launched in November and a supply shortage that has made production difficult has seen both versions of the PS5 flying off the shelves over the last four months.
As it's been the case since November, the best bet for gamers is to monitor different retailers' social media channels and dedicated Twitter accounts to be alerted to upcoming drops and then act as swiftly as possible.

Here's a breakdown of the latest PS5 restock information from Walmart, GameStop, Target, PlayStation Direct, Amazon and more.
Amazon PS5 Restock
Having been available in limited numbers from selected sellers last week, the PlayStation 5 is now sold out on Amazon.
Both versions of the console are listed as "currently unavailable" on the Amazon website, along with a message stating the seller does not yet know when or if the PS5 will be back in stock.
Unlike other retailers, Amazon does not announce its restocks ahead of time but gamers can keep track of any updates by following Twitter accounts such as @Wario64 and @GYXdeals, which often have updates on restocks.

Antonline PS5 Restock
The PS5 is sold out at Antonline. However, the retailer has previously said on its Twitter account that it will make a limited number of next-gen consoles available every week.

Best Buy PS5 Restock
Best Buy had very limited PS5 availability earlier this month, but both versions of the console are now sold out.
The retailer has yet to announce when more units will arrive, but it's worth checking its website regularly for updates.

GameStop PS5 Restock
GameStop made a limited amount of PS5 available last week. The consoles were part of several different bundles that have all since sold out.
The retailer alerted customers to the restock via its Twitter account and gamers should follow GameStop's social media channels for updates on further stock drops.

PS Direct PS5 Restock
PlayStation Direct opened its queue late last week, but the PS5 consoles have since sold out.
To be alerted when the queue opens again, follow dedicated PS5 restock accounts on Twitter such as @Wario64, @GYXdeals and @PS5Updates and turn on notifications.

Target PS5 Restock
Following a limited restock earlier this month, Target is again sold out of PS5s.
Before the consoles ran out, they were only available online, with drive-up or pick-up collection once the order had been placed. There was also a limit of one console per customer. Both conditions are likely to remain in place for future restocks.

Walmart PS5 Restock
Both the PS5 and the PS5 Digital Edition have been unavailable since Walmart's latest restock quickly sold out earlier in February, when the retailer made more consoles available.
Walmart has not yet announced when it will release more consoles.
