Restock information for the Xbox Series X is now available on Twitter, GameStop, Best Buy, and other sites

Xbox Series X restocks have been quite quiet this week. Best Buy, on the other hand, has a limited supply of Xbox Series S systems.

While we look for additional Xbox Series X replenishment, we recommend checking out the stores mentioned below. Make a note of this page and return to it frequently, as this will place you in a strong position to get fresh Xbox Series X stock when it comes.

As of 10:05 a.m. ET on October 30, there is no Xbox Series X restock. However, there is limited Xbox Series S restock at Best Buy (via the link below). Otherwise, it’s been another frustratingly quiet week for those still trying to purchase Microsoft’s bulky black box.

Xbox Series X restock tracker — where to look

Xbox Series X – the most recent rumours and news

Another disappointingly dry week for Xbox Series X restocks occurred last week. While Microsoft took pre-orders for the Xbox Series X mini-fridge earlier this week, the console itself has yet to be seen at any major outlets.

Unfortunately, it’s been the same all week, with the exception of a brief Microsoft Store refill yesterday (Oct. 29). There’s a risk that merchants like Amazon and Walmart could run out of supply before the weekend, although neither has made an announcement yet. On the plus side, Amazon did provide an Xbox Series S resupply last week, suggesting that an Xbox Series X restock is on the way.

Don’t worry, we’ll keep an eye on all of the big stores and keep you updated if the situation changes. However, as the Christmas season approaches, we expect demand to increase, so if you want an Xbox Series X, you’ll need to be on the lookout. In reality, Microsoft’s console has quietly become the more difficult to obtain of the two.

Target, on the other hand, has revealed a significant adjustment in how it handles Xbox Series X restocks. Instead of waiting for batches of stock to arrive, like with the PS5 refill, Xbox Series X consoles will be ready to purchase as soon as each retailer receives stock.

This effectively implies that Target will no longer have national stock drops, and the console will only be accessible when inventory arrives at each local location. The Xbox Series X was available for purchase at some Target shops earlier this year, demonstrating the new system in action.

Restocks of the Xbox Series X are being tracked on Twitter.

Check out these Twitter feeds for the most up-to-date information on Xbox Series X restocks. We propose that you subscribe to Xbox Series X|S Stock Alerts and Wario64. Both Xbox restocks and general gaming sales are tracked by the latter account.

While companies like Best Buy and GameStop may not always give you advance notice, it’s a good rule of thumb to follow them on Twitter. When it comes to getting an Xbox Series X refill, any advantage you can obtain is vital.

Microsoft’s latest consoles are flying off the shelves for a reason. We praised the Xbox Series X in our review for its blazing performance, lightning-fast load times, and extensive backwards compatibility with every Xbox generation. And, as we said in our Xbox Series S review, individuals with 1080p TVs can still enjoy many of the same fantastic features with the less expensive next-gen Xbox.

Where to buy Xbox Series X buying tips and resources

There are a few additional things you can do to improve your chances of getting an Xbox Series X besides refreshing shop websites. We tried a hidden Amazon trick that allowed us to successfully add an Xbox Series X to our shopping basket four times. There are also additional internet avenues you may use to find out when a unit becomes available.

Twitter

On Twitter, we suggest following @Wario64. The handle is known for updating users on the latest deals and restocks faster than anyone else on the platform.

Shopping forums

Slickdeals, the online deal repository, has a forum thread dedicated to ordering an Xbox Series X through Microsoft. The thread is constantly being updated, so jump to the last page and click refresh for the latest intel on when units will become available. 

PopFindr

PopFindr is a site that checks local retail inventories based on your zip code. For example, you can check local Target stores in your area to see if any Xbox Series X’s are available. Do note, that just because it shows in stock, it might be out of stock by the time you arrive at the store. 

It’s also a good idea to create a Slickdeals account and set a discount alert for “Xbox Series X.” When a new discussion concerning restocked stock is started, you’ll get an email notification. However, we’ve discovered that Slickdeals doesn’t always email subscribers quickly enough. So, instead of searching for “Xbox Series X,” try searching for “Xbox Series X” and sorting by new. Be prepared to check in numerous times during the day.

CheapAssGamer is another long-running video game sales website with a dedicated Xbox Series X forum topic. The topic is nearly 63 pages old as of this writing, and users are discussing where to find units.

Facebook and Reddit

Facebook too can be a good source of information. There are multiple Xbox Series X fan groups that keep users up to date on where the latest restocks are happening. 

Also, be sure to follow the Xbox Series X subreddit. Although the majority of the website is devoted to conversations and memes, if a member discovers a resupply, they will inform the community. One user, for example, discovered Xbox Series X devices in stock at his local Walmart, while others had similar experiences. Again, it appears that certain Walmart shops are stocking up on devices in preparation for Cyber Monday.

Wholesale retailers

Another set of retailers to keep an eye on are subscription-based wholesalers like Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s Wholesale Club.

Due to the fact that access to these wholesalers needs a paid membership, there are frequently fewer individuals competing for a unit. If you don’t already have a subscription to one of these stores, ask a few friends or family members to help you out.

Unfortunately, new consoles are frequently bundled with additional games or accessories by wholesalers. As a result, you’ll almost certainly have to spend more than the customary $500.

Examine at particular times.

Retailers, on the whole, like to have merchandise available at specific hours. On specific days, at midnight ET, fresh Xbox Series X stock is most likely to be made available. Check out all of the stores and you could just strike it rich.

Xbox Series X restock — avoid the scalpers

One of the reasons for Xbox Series X and Series S stock shortages is due to scalpers snapping up large amounts of next-gen consoles in one big sweep and then selling them for extortionate prices; we’re taking thousands of dollars for a $499 games console.
