Hurry! Walmart has the PS5 in stock right now. This is not a drill! Walmart has surprised us with a restock of the coveted new console, and it’s up for grabs to anyone. As a bonus, the game comes bundled with God of War: Ragnarök. Both the console and the game are listed at their regular retail price of $500 and $60 respectively. You don’t have to worry about buying a resold PS5 for twice what it’s worth. For only $560 you can finally grab the illusive console for yourself.

The PlayStation 5 has had a rough launch. A microchip shortage and a worldwide pandemic combined to make Sony’s supply chain a disaster. The console launched two years ago, but has still been difficult for your average consumer to buy. Sony announced in May that they would produce 18 million consoles in 2022, so things are looking up. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to walking into Walmart and grab one off the shelf anytime soon.

But you can still grab this bundle at Walmart today! It is likely to sell out within the hour, so grab it now. I mean right now — why are you still reading this? When you’re done, make sure to pair your new console with some added bonuses in our PlayStation deals, like an extra controller, a backlog of new games, and maybe even a VR set. If you want to play online, you’ll need a PlayStation Network account, which you can save some cash on with our PS Plus deals.

Now’s the perfect time to stock up on PS5 controllers

The PlayStation 5's DualSense is one of my favorite video game controllers of all time. That's thanks to its unique touches like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, which genuinely change the way I experience games. There's a downside to all those bells and whistles though: It's wildly expensive. If a stick begins to drift or you simply want a second one for multiplayer games, be prepared to spend $70 -- or more, if you want it in a different color.

If you've found yourself pining over a new DualSense, today's the day to strike. Best Buy is currently running one of the best deals on PS5 controllers since the console launched, with all versions of the gamepad down to $50.

Need a PS5 controller? This Cyber Monday deal has you covered

Do you need a second DualSense controller to play PlayStation 5 couch co-op games with a friend? Or maybe you broke your old one during an intense gaming moment? In either case, Cyber Monday deals have just the thing for you! Right now you can get a PS5 DualSense wireless controller for only $49. That's up to $26 off the usual price depending on the color, and is a deal you shouldn't pass up even if you're not sure how much you'll use it. So, go ahead and grab one at Walmart while this deal lasts. You'll have a 30-day free return period to change you mind, so it's basically risk free!

Why you should buy the Sony PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller
If you bought a new PS5, then you've probably already used the DualSense controller, as it's the default one that comes with the console. While "default" doesn't necessarily sound like a great word, and there are other great PS5 controllers out there, the DualSense is different. Plus, with seven colors (and an Army-style camo print) to choose from, this can finally be your chance to get the style you've always wanted. In our PS5 review we referred to the DualSense controller as "a win" because of its responsiveness and haptic feedback. If the game you're playing (we suggest Returnal) allows for it, the controller will respond to what is happening in the game via vibration effects and extra tension in the triggers.

And just like that, the PS5 is back in stock at Walmart – hurry!

Gamers who have been patiently waiting for stocks of the PlayStation 5 to become available in this year's Black Friday deals should head over to Walmart's website to pick up the PlayStation 5 God of War Ragnarok bundle, which you can purchase for $559. A discount wasn't expected for this recently-released bundle, but it has been difficult to find it for sale anywhere. You need to hurry if you want it though because we're pretty sure that stocks won't last long. After all, it's the third PS5 restock we've seen in the last three days.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 God of War Ragnarok bundle
If you don't own the PlayStation 5 yet, getting God of War Ragnarok as your first game will show you what you've been missing. The sequel to 2018's God of War showcases the capabilities of the PS5 with its amazing graphics, while further polishing the combat system and adding more customization options compared to its predecessor. This is the best showing of Kratos yet, so if you're a fan of the warrior once known as the Ghost of Sparta, then you'll want to take the ride on his latest adventure.
