Twitch bot checks PS5 and Xbox Series X stocks live
Ever since they launched, Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X have been a hot commodity that not everyone is able to get. Luckily a Twitch bot is checking if you can purchase a console before Christmas time.
This year has been hectic enough as it is, but the arrival of the latest next-gen consoles have created a huge rush. Many who had hoped to get the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X during the first few weeks of their respective launches, ended up going home empty handed.
Many retailers have been running out of stock almost immediately and with the imminent Christmas season on people’s minds, the demand for units is extremely high. If you want the consoles then you have to keep checking their availability.
Thanks to one Twitch bot, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. It will browse through many different sites to keep check when either of the two consoles is in stock so that you don’t have to.
This channel is run by Cam Ritz. Simply head over there and watch the bot work live. You can check when the latest hit was and enter the !local command to see if you can find the consoles from any store within your vicinity.
Ritz has stated that the the bot has helped viewers secure consoles through a few different retailers such as GameStop and Sam’s Club. Don’t get your hopes up too much though, as the stream will mainly show you “OUT OF STOCK” in glaring red.
Due to the rather unpredictable nature of the way retailers are stocking up on the consoles, there is no sure way to get yourself a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X before Christmas time. However, checking in with this stream daily will greatly increase your chances of finding one soon.
