It’s been more than two months since the Xbox Series X | S launched, and consoles are still very difficult to find. We recently saw a huge inventory – the largest since Black Friday – of several major retailers, and even the Microsoft store offered it to order. However, the consoles have been upgraded relatively randomly online, which means you need to be vigilant and quick to buy one before they are all gone.
For those who want to buy the new Xbox Series X or the only Xbox Series S, the Xbox inventory stock in 2021 is not much clearer. Microsoft is working on more Xbox Series X | S stock on virtual store shelves, but it’s unclear when the next generation Xbox will be significantly easier to buy. In a recent earnings call, Microsoft said that the shortfall in Xbox Series X is expected to continue into the current financial period due to significant demand. We’ve heard it can even last until summer. Supply partners are also struggling, which may explain why it takes so long.
If Microsoft or other retailers announce reload times for the Xbox Series X or S in the coming weeks, we’ll include the details here. It may take a few weeks before you get the system once you order it, so keep that in mind when planning a downtime. We have seen that some stores also offer expensive packages that are also available regularly. Others even offer occasional discounts on bundles with extra controllers, but this is relatively rare. As of now, you can not really find the console in retail stores without a pickup order.
Although you can more easily buy the Xbox Series X over MSRP on retailer sites like eBay and StockX, we recommend waiting to buy the new Xbox for its $ 500 list price. contains what you do not really need.
Where to get the Xbox Series X | S for sale
Xbox Series X available at GameStop
GameStop revamped the Xbox Series X and Series S on January 27, but it was only available as a bundle.
Xbox Series X Available at Best Buy
We do not know when you will be able to buy an Xbox Series X from Best Buy again.
Best Buy did not have any Xbox Series X or Series S units in stores in 2020, but the retailer said stock will be on store shelves this year. However, we do not know exactly when the stock is available in the store. We’ve seen next-generation consoles appear on Best Buy’s website without much warning. The Xbox Series S was last available on December 28th. It usually lasts longer than the Series X when refilled.
Xbox Series X Available at Walmart
Walmart last had the Xbox Series X on January 21, although an Xbox All Access offering was available on January 24. Walmart, as usual, set a deadline of January 21, but this time the retailer delayed sales through a wider window. which apparently made the site work smoother. The Xbox Series S has been stockpiled again in the new year, so it may be easier to find.
Xbox Series X Available at Amazon
We do not know when you will be able to buy an Xbox Series X from Amazon again.
Amazon has very little Xbox Series X | S stock had since the consoles were first launched on November 10, and in the near future there is no more word on a stock. Amazon’s offers even say, “We do not know when and if it will be back in stock.”
Xbox X Series availability at Target
On January 24, the Xbox Series X last went on sale. This time, it was available for delivery rather than just in-store pickup, and the system does not appear to be immediately caught by bots.
Xbox Series X available from other retailers
The online store Antonline tends to have Xbox bundles in stock fairly regularly, especially the Xbox Series S.
We’ve seen sporadic stock in the Microsoft Store, but it’s never been announced before. The latest Xbox stock in Microsoft’s own store was on January 25 during the evening.
If you miss stock at the big retailers, there are many units available for traders like StockX, but are willing to pay more than the price. At the moment, buyers are asking around $ 420 for the Series S and $ 700 for the Series X. If you do buy from a retailer, make sure the Xbox console you get has the right type of plug for your region.
Xbox Series X | S-accessories
The great thing about Xbox Series X accessories is that the vast majority of products compatible with Xbox One also work with Series X and S, including headsets and controllers.
New Xbox Wireless Controllers released with the Xbox Series X and Series S are available in Carbon Black, Robot White and Shock Blue. They have a more ergonomic design; texture grips on the bumpers, triggers and backpack; and an Elite Controller-inspired hybrid D-pad for improved precision. The updated controllers also have a new integrated Share button to capture and record game moments.

Microsoft is striving for its next-generation Xbox Game Pass subscription, which offers monthly access to a massive, rotating library of games, including the ability to play first-party games like Halo Infinite on the first day. New subscribers can sign up for their first month Game Pass Ultimate for $ 1 – do so before taking advantage of any Game Pass offers online.
