If you’re hoping to score a PS5 restock to kick off the new year, you might be in luck. GameStop is reportedly preparing to hold an in-store PS5 restock this week. This would be the retailer’s first drop of the PS5 console in 2022.
News of this potential restock comes from @PS5restocks_etc on Twitter. The account isn’t the biggest restock tracker out there but has a solid track record when it comes to reliability. The account is currently tipping GameStop for an in-store PS5 restock at select locations on Friday, January 14.

Jake Randall, a YouTuber and stock tracker, has also claimed a GameStop in-store PS5 restock will be taking place on Friday (January 14) adding more fuel to the fire. Plus, well-known restock tracker Matt Swider has also hinted that a GameStop PS5 restock could be on its way soon. Whether he’s talking about the same drop is currently unknown. Remember, it’s still worth taking these tip-offs with a grain of salt. Until official word comes from GameStop nothing is confirmed.

If an in-store GameStop PS5 restock does happen this week, it’ll likely start from each individual store opening time (which could be as early as 8 a.m. local time) — but expect eager shoppers to start queuing for the console much earlier than this.
As is now the standard with GameStop PS5 restocks, the console will almost certainly only be available in pre-built bundles. These packages will likely contain PS5 games, extra controllers, digital credit, and a GameStop gift card. GameStop always charges the combined retail price of the items within its bundles, so you won’t be getting price gouged at least.
Previous GameStop in-store restocks haven’t required customers to be a PowerUp Reward Pro member. However, some previous in-store PS5 restocks have been exclusively for customers with a Pro membership. It might be worth getting signed up now just in case.
