Walmart will have a limited number of PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles available tonight online only. Here’s what time you should be ready.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X are sold out everywhere but shipments continue to arrive in small batches. Walmart announced that its Black Friday Deals for Days will continue today with a fresh stock.

According to the retailer, another batch of PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles will be available tonight, November 25, at 9:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. PT). As per usual this holiday season, the systems will only be available to purchase online and for delivery only (no in-store pickup).

I’m not going to sugar coat this, your odds of securing a next-gen console tonight are probably pretty slim. The PS5 and Xbox Series X are selling out almost immediately they become available online. Expect heavy traffic on the website the second they become available.

In addition to Walmart, other retailers will also have PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles in stock during Black Friday week. Best Buy promised they’ll be available online as well, and you figure the same will be true for Amazon, GameStop and Target.

GameStop’s weekly ad actually promised that all stores will have a minimum of two PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles at store opening on Black Friday. If you don’t mind risking coronavirus, you might want to think about camping out at your local GameStop. The retailer will be closed on Thanksgiving but will open its doors on November 27, 2020.

If you don’t happen to get either a PS5 or Xbox Series X tonight or this week, not all hope is lost. Retailers will continue to receive limited stock throughout the holiday season. Both Microsoft and Sony promise they are working full-time on delivering more units to retailers in time for the holidays.
