PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles are on sale at Target for the first time in weeks
UPDATE: The consoles have now sold out
PlayStation 5 consoles are currently available to purchase at Target.
It’s the first time the retailer has made PS5 stock available online since January 21.
Standard PS5 consoles went on sale at about 4.35am PT / 7.35am ET. PS5 Digital Edition consoles and Xbox Series X consoles are expected to be made available soon afterwards.
UPDATE: The consoles have now sold out.
ORIGINAL STORY CONTINUES: Stock is likely to be snapped up quickly, but you can attempt to purchase PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles through the following links:
To stand the best chance of getting a console users should be signed into a Target account, which will automatically direct them to the store closest to their registered address which has systems available. Delivery isn’t an option, so buyers will need to pick up the product from their chosen store.
Sony recently started taking new registrations for the chance to buy PS5 consoles directly from the company.
Having made a limited number of PS5 consoles available for US consumers to purchase from PlayStation Direct over the holiday season, it’s now taking fresh sign-ups and has extended the offer to some European countries.
Registration is currently open for players based in the US, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. They will need to use an email address associated with a PlayStation Network ID and opt in to receive marketing emails.
Sony rolled out new PS5 and PS4 system software beta updates this week, introducing changes to how parties work. PS5 beta participants in the US and UK can also test new ‘Hey, PlayStation!’ voice command features for finding and launching games and apps, as well as controlling media playback.
Online multiplayer modes for PS4 and PS5 games will be accessible without a PlayStation Plus subscription this weekend.
