Xbox Series X Restock Tracker — Where to Look

Try checking these top retailers for Xbox Series X restocks:

Many of these retailers will let you order your Xbox Series X online and then ship it to you or make it available in store and hold it for you once the console has been restocked. Even this stock can sell out in minutes according to a number of online trackers for the Xbox Series X, but once you’ve received your console, the retailer will do its best to hold one for you once it becomes available.

Keep in mind that a lot of people may be trying to reserve the same console at the same retailer and your order may be far down on the list.

Background

The Xbox Series X released in December of 2020 (see here), and it’s still not that easy to get your hands on it. The console comes with a one terabyte SSD for storage with 16 gigabytes of ram and 12 teraflops of visual processing power. It offers a resolution between 4K and 8K to run games at between 60 and 120 frames per second.

One of the reasons it’s such a hot commodity is because every console comes with a two-year subscription to Game Pass Ultimate. That bundles together Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass. Gold gives you four free games every month, and the ability to play games online with other people. Game Pass gives you access to more than 100 games, which are rotated out with new titles and even day-1 releases from time to time.

We’ll show you where to find Xbox Series X restock today and get a console in your hands. For those who have been waiting for a long time for theirs, or who have been trying to get one for a friend or family member, our Xbox Series X restock guide will help you out.

Of course, lots of retailers are offering this console, but you may have to jump through different hoops to secure your console depending on which retailer you’re using. Since the Xbox Series X is selling out very fast around the world, sometimes in as little as 10 minutes in the US, it can be difficult to get your hands on one. However, if you know where to look and you try searching a few places that not everyone knows about, you may have better luck. That’s what our guide here is meant to help you with.

Where to Buy Xbox Series X: Restock Links and Updates

We are going to share with you some of the best retailers to look at when you are in the market for an Xbox Series X.

For instance, Walmart is offering an Xbox Series X with a Game Pass subscription if you want to make monthly installments. Last time we checked, Walmart was offering this deal over a 24-month period.

Note that if you want to get an Xbox Series S bundle instead, those are usually much easier to find, and they retail for $299 with most retailers. Amazon has bundles that include Fortnite and Rocket League with their Xbox Series S. This bundle includes tons of in-game currency. So, if you don’t mind getting the Series S rather than the Series X, you may want to check out this bundle.

The Series S is a good alternative, as it comes with 512 gigabytes of SSD to store your games and content. It has no disk drive, however, while the Series X contains a Blu-Ray player and the ability to play physical discs. Its GPU can handle 4 teraflops, and it has 10 gigabytes of ram. It’s still a pretty powerful console, but it is admittedly leagues behind the Series X.

Let’s dive into all the information you need to know about retailers restocking the Xbox Series X console.

Xbox Series X — Latest News and Rumors

We hear rumors of large restocks happening from time to time. Microsoft had a restock of the console on March 2nd. Stock has already sold out by this point, but new restocks are expected every few weeks.

Best Buy offers a TotalTech membership that provides access to restocks when they happen. This allows you to get hot products like the Xbox Series X when they are restocked rather than waiting for them to show up on store shelves. Their membership also provides 2-day shipping (at no cost) and warranty protection for up to two years on any purchase made with the membership plan. The membership plan also gives you early access to some products. This may be a good way to get your hands on the Xbox Series X whenever a restock comes in through Best Buy.

Amazon Prime has an Xbox Series X restock benefit available too. Last time we checked, the prime membership was $139 a year and gives members fast shipping for free, access to the Prime Video streaming library, early access to some deals, including Prime Day promotions, and priority access to restocks for the Xbox Series X, among other benefits. You can try it out for 30 days for free, if you’re interested.

There’s a rumor about an Amazon restock for the Xbox Series X coming late in March, so look out for that opportunity to nab the console. The last time the online retailer got a large restock was in December, so keep your eye out for an Xbox Series X restock today from Amazon.

Walmart had a massive restock earlier this month, and it took a few days for that restock to sell out completely.

Microsoft sends out Xbox Series X restock invitations some time to time. These appear to be random, but for those who have signed up with Microsoft to be notified when restocks happen, it’s not a bad idea to keep an eye on your email inbox for those invitations.

Xbox Series X Restocks: Track on Twitter

Some of the restocks will be listed on Twitter accounts, with retailers and industry insiders letting people know when Xbox Series X consoles are available in stores or available to order online and listed as in stock on websites.

A lot of retailers issue periodic Twitter updates on restocks, especially those larger restocks, like what we’re expecting out of Amazon before the end of the month. Keep an eye on Twitter accounts from GameStop and Best Buy in particular, as they will be more focused on the Xbox Series X in their tweets than some of the larger retailers that have a wider range of products.

You would be wise to follow Wario64 and Xbox Series X|S Stock Alerts for updates on restocks. These Twitter accounts both keep track of when restocks are happening, the Wario64 Twitter account covers general gaming sales news as well.

This is still a really hot console, and while the lack of stock on shelves may not be a problem for a lot longer, it’s amazing that it’s been such an issue for so long. A lot of that has to do with how well reviewed the Xbox Series X has been. Major review sites like Tom’s Guide and Tech Radar (just to name a couple) have rated it very highly. Tom’s Guide gave the console 4 1/2 out of 5 stars, and Tech Radar rated it 4 out of 5 stars.

Where to Buy Xbox Series X: Check for Stock

If you’re going to nab this console while it’s available for a short time, you’ll have to check on different retailers’ websites to find out when it is in stock. You may need to sign up for notifications so that you know as soon as new stock is available before the general public does.

We put links down below for you for a lot of the notable store pages.

Amazon Xbox Series X

While it’s currently out of stock at Amazon, this is the biggest online retailer out there, so they are more likely to get it in style then a lot of the smaller retailers. Microsoft may have special arrangements with Amazon to ensure that they get stock before other online stores do.

Xbox Series S

You’re more likely to find the Xbox Series S available at Amazon, since it’s less powerful than the Series X, has less memory space, and doesn’t come with a disc drive. Check the store link here to see if the Series S is available in stock at Amazon right now.

Microsoft Xbox Series X

Microsoft sells their own product directly, if you’d prefer to get it from them. You won’t pay any less, but there are advantages to buying from the manufacturer directly. You may get better customer service, and they can resolve any issues you may have faster than other suppliers would. Check the link here to see if Microsoft has done an Xbox Series X restock lately.

Xbox Series S

You can buy the Series S directly from Microsoft as well, though you should know there are few differences between the Series X and Series S consoles. The Series S may be restocked faster and will cost less because it has fewer features. It still loads really quickly and has a high frame rate, and on you can check the store page here to see when it is in stock.

Best Buy Xbox Series X

The world’s biggest electronics retailer- Best Buy- has stores all over the United States. They do their restocking on specific days during the week, focusing on Thursdays and Fridays, with an occasional restock on Monday. This is an online store you want to check several times in the week to see if any stock has come in.

Xbox Series S

They carry the Xbox Series S as well at a cheaper price than the Series X. You can check the store link here to see if Best Buy has it in stock right now. If you’re willing to settle for the Series S, you probably have a better chance of grabbing that than it’s upgraded counterpart. You may not have to wait for that one as long as you would for an Xbox Series X restock.

Target Xbox Series X

In recent years, Target has become one of the major video game and console retailers. They even held events every time there was an Xbox Series X restock, because those restocks have been a really big deal. This retailer is not doing the events anymore, which means that as soon as do you have an Xbox Series X restock today, the consoles will hit store shelves that same day.

Xbox Series S

You can get the Series S at Target as well, though it’s not always easy to find in stock. Target doesn’t seem to be as focused on restocking the Series S in their stores.

GameStop Xbox Series X

Of course, a lot of people will be going to GameStop to get their Series X console, and because this store has such a dedicated gamer clientele, a lot of times the console will sell out as soon as it comes in. GameStop is probably the best place to get different kinds of Series X bundles, as they tend to offer a wide range of these. The bundles may include extra games, subscriptions, controllers, and other bonuses.

Xbox Series S

You will also find that GameStop is a good place to get the Series S, and this retailer usually sells them as a bundle that includes a gift card and an extra game. Check the store link here to see if they’re in stock.

Walmart Xbox Series X

Walmart tends to get a lot of stock in at once, so it’s a good place to look for this console and some different bundles. They also have a lot of shelf space, so they can stock a variety of Xbox Series X versions. If you visit their website and log in, you can sign up for updates and notifications when there’s an Xbox Series X restock.

Xbox Series S

You can check the store page link here to see when the Series S is in at Walmart, and you can sign up for notifications from the Walmart store on that as well. As we mentioned at the top of the article, the All Access program from Walmart lets you break down the payments for the console into a monthly plan.

Newegg Xbox Series X

The advantage to getting this console through Newegg is that they hold raffles periodically where customers could win the opportunity to buy a new console. That may seem like a lot of hoops to jump through, but if you’re having trouble getting your hands on an Xbox Series X, it may be a good option for you. Plus, you won’t have to fight out anyone else for the console once you’ve won the raffle.

Xbox Series S

You may also be able to get a Series S console the same way, and signing up for multiple raffles can improve your chances of winning.

Where to Buy Xbox Series X- Buying Tips and Resources

How are you going to take advantage of an Xbox Series X restock today? We have a few tips you can use to help you stay on top of when the consoles are restocked and ensure that you get one.

Refresh

If you’re really wanting an Xbox Series X today, try opening tabs for multiple retailers at the same time. The Series X may be listed as out of stock, but if you keep refreshing those store pages several times an hour, you may get lucky and see the console pop up as in stock when it comes in that day. Not everybody has that kind of time to spend waiting for the console to show up on store pages, but if you’ve been trying to get one for a while, this may be your best chance.

Twitter Tracking

We mentioned a couple of Twitter channels you may want to subscribe to in order to stay on top of updates for Xbox Series X restocks, like @Wario64. Keep the app open on your phone or computer or enable notifications so you can see when the console is restocked.

Forum Shopping

You can try deal websites like Slickdeals that have forums just for Xbox Series X restock information. You can find out when the latest restock is happening by looking at the last page of the forums and then refreshing that forum from time to time.

CheapAssGamer and PopFindr help you locate deals and learn about restocks as they happen. PopFindr will check stores in your area to see if they have Xbox Series X consoles in stock. CheapAssGamer has a forum that is all about the Xbox Series X, and it has all sorts of information about where to locate the console when it is restocked.

With all of these options, you need to set up notifications if possible and then check the forums a few times a day to stay up to date on when there is a new restock.

Social Media

Several social media sites have groups just for Xbox Series X fans. You can find these on Reddit, Facebook, Whatsapp, and others. Search for the groups there and you can stay keyed in on information about if there is an Xbox Series X restock today.

On Reddit, there are forums known as subreddits that are specifically for the Xbox Series X. Any talk of restocks will appear there, so you can subscribe to those particular subreddits and get information as people are discussing restocks.

Restocking Hours

A lot of stores restock at particular times of day. For Walmart, a lot of the restocking happens during the overnight shift. So, 24-hour Walmarts may stock their Xbox Series X consoles anywhere from 9 in the evening to 5 in the morning. While many Walmart stores are under orders not to stock hot items like video game consoles during off hours, it does happen from time to time. Not every Walmart employee gets the memo or cares about directives like these, so you may get lucky and restock if you’re hanging out at the stores during the third shift.

Most stores do have set restocking times, so if you find out what those hours are, you can make sure you are present at the store when the consoles are likely to be restocked.

No Crowd

There are tons of stores that will sell Xbox Series X consoles that don’t have a lot of customers searching for electronics there or a lot of customers, period. Try smaller Mom and Pop shops where there’s not as much traffic and you don’t have as many people to fight to get the console you’re looking for. Also try wholesale retailers that don’t have as many customers as some of the bigger stores. You may be lucky to score an Xbox Series X console when they become available.

Keep in mind that just because the website for a store says they have Xbox Series X consoles in stock, that doesn’t mean it’s true. By the time you get to the store, the consoles could have sold out. Or, they may not update their site regularly. You might do better if you simply go to the store and check periodically for a console to be in stock.

Xbox Series X Deals

You might think that because the series X has been out for a little while that there’ll be some great deals available on it. We don’t have any information for Xbox Series X deals at the moment, but that could change. You’re more likely to see deals pop up during major holidays, like during the Christmas shopping season, and particularly around Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

There’s just so much demand for this console at the moment that there’s no reason for Microsoft to start slashing prices on them. At its current price, the console already flies off shelves, so there’s no incentive to lower the price for consumers. That’s usually something that will happen a few years into a console lifecycle. We’re not there yet with the Series X, but you may start to see deals by the end of the year.

What you are more likely to see at this point are bundled deals, where different games are packaged with the console at the same price or slightly higher than normal price. Bundles like this tend to offer decent savings, giving you games at less than their full retail price.

There are also plenty of deals to be had on games and accessories for the Xbox Series X, so keep an eye on those. Major retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and GameStop will have deals on some of the hottest Xbox Series X games, and they periodically slash the prices on Xbox Series X accessories as well.

A Note on Xbox Series X Restocks

While there are a lot of restocking rumors and information out there, it can be tough to tell exactly when a restock is going to happen, especially if you want to predict it in advance. We’re doing our best to keep you updated on restocks as they occur, but keep in mind that restocked Xbox Series X consoles sell out so quickly most companies don’t see the need to publish the fact that a restock is happening.

We’ll do our best to keep you updated on any restock information we get, so keep checking here for updates to Xbox Series X restock links and basic information about the console and the restock situation as it changes.

    All I have to say is that a certain online retailer has the RTX 3070 for over R15,000, while the RRP in the US is about $499. So a cost for the XSX of over R13,000 is certainly possible! Which is very sad. I don’t know how many on SA can afford such a price. It would definitely make a massive hole in my pocket when I commit! I’m hoping the console might be subsidised in some way!

      Local retailers have always artificially inflated PC component prices. I doubt the next gen consoles will be 13K. They might possibly be 10K at most. Which is still a lot of money. That’s why Microsoft needs to launch the Xbox All Access worldwide with the new console.

    I am thinking of dumping my XBone on my brother and getting a PS5 when it releases. Since with the current generation there were no exclusives on XBone that I wanted to play but PS4 had quite a few! And everything I played on XBone was available on PS4 in any case.

        Actually had a PS2 back in the day. Went over to XBox because friends/colleagues had it and we could share/trade games. Then for XBone it was Black Friday 2017, I needed a BluRay player and XBone was like R500 more than a BluRay player so I got it. A few months later God of War 4 came out and I was like “DAMN”! Learnt my lesson.

      i tend to see xbox as the third party game system so id get stuff like call of duty or multiplayer games on the xbox while the single player first party games would be purchased on the playstation. this generation the xbox sx is more powerful than ps5 as sony is just tryin to get by on the SSD alone and i dont think itll cut it when ppl notice they only gettin 4K @30fps and xbox will probably hit 4K@60 fps more easier. its a shame that both consoles are looked down upon now that the nvidia 3080 cards are coming out that make the consoles look like a joke.

      nah they both not revealing prices cause the first one that shows the price the other will look at how ppl react and then try to set the price a little lower. its just dumb on their part cause we know they have limited supply and not letting people put preorders in early wont let em know how many more consoles they need to acquire before the holiday. most ppl are going to wait a year later to purchase as no one wants to pay $600 plus for a console.

    Well… Despite 600USD be somehow reasonable as a release price for the beast that SeX should offer, i guess it’s still too soon to we let the expectations down.
    Both Sony and MS knows that advance too much beyond the 500 tag could be an issue in the first months, plus: Monster Energy Drink had some promo where people did some similar math and, by what i have seen in the last years, this offers always left the prices higher than the products they are giving to the winners.
