PlayStation Portal restocks — latest status and where to get yours

 PlayStation Portal in hand.
PlayStation Portal in hand.

Good news! As of April 29, the PlayStation Portal is still in stock at PlayStation Direct,  Best Buy,  Target and Walmart via Walmart Plus. I recommend you act fast to grab one while you still can. Elsewhere, the PlayStation Portal is currently out of stock at Amazon, GameStop,  and antonline. Beware of sketchy third-party sellers on sites like Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Make sure to check that your item is being sold and shipped directly by the trusted retailer before you hit the "add to cart" button.

Due to the high demand of this dedicated PS5 remote player, resellers are capitalizing on the situation asking for inflating prices on marketplaces like eBay and StockX. However, with our go-to retailer links and a little more patience, you don't have to resort to scalpers.

If you're still searching for the elusive PlayStation Portal, don't give up hope yet! Bookmark this page and check back often for PlayStation Portal restocks from trusted stores. Otherwise, consider the best PlayStation Portal alternatives.
