Xbox Series X restock is no longer hard to find. The Microsoft Store continues to have new consoles available from $499 via this Microsoft link. Likewise, Best Buy also regularly has stock.
That said, Xbox Series X deals are a lot harder to find. Occasionally, we've seen the console sell for $469 ($30 off) or at times it's been bundled with a free $75 gift card. With Prime Day 2 and the holiday season on the horizon, we think more Xbox Series X deals could be on the horizon.
Make sure to bookmark and regularly refresh this page, as that should put you in a good position to secure the best deals. Also, make sure to check out our pick of the best Xbox Series X alternatives available.

There's a good reason Microsoft's new consoles are flying off shelves. In our Xbox Series X review, we gave the new system major props for its blistering performance, zippy load times and comprehensive backwards compatibility with every generation of Xbox. And as we noted in our Xbox Series S review, the cheaper next-gen Xbox still delivers many of the same great features for those with 1080p TVs.
With that in mind, see the latest Xbox Series X stock updates and tips for getting your new Microsoft console below.

Xbox Series X at Best Buy
Xbox Series X: $499 @ Best Buy
Best Buy is one of many stores selling the Xbox Series X. Best Buy tends to restock on Thursdays and Fridays, although they've also held a Monday restock. They're currently out of stock, but when they do stock they release inventory in waves that have lasted as short as 20 minutes or as long an hour.
Xbox Series S: $299 at Best Buy
Best Buy also carries the Xbox Series S for $299. It's currently out of stock, but still a store worth checking.
Xbox Series X at GameStop
Xbox Series X: $499 @ GameStop
The Xbox Series X comes in and out of stock at GameStop. However, when they do have stock it tends to come in the form of bundles that include an extra controller, gift cards, and more.
Xbox Series S: $299 at GameStop
The Xbox Series S is typically sold as part of a bundle at GameStop. The bundle typically includes a free game and gift card. They're currently out of stock.
Xbox Series X at Target
Xbox Series X: $499 @ Target
Xbox Series X restocks are a thing of the past. The retailer announced it won't hold restock events per se, but will instead release inventory the minute it receives it. (As opposed to waiting for all of their nationwide stores to receive stock and then holding a restock event). They're currently out of stock.
Xbox Series S: $299 at Target
We haven't seen Xbox Series S stock at Target in quite some time. They're currently sold out, but offer a listing page for the console.
Xbox Series X at Walmart
Xbox Series X: $499 at Walmart
The Xbox Series X is offered at Walmart, but stock is now sold out. You can sign up for in-stock alerts, though.
Xbox Series S: $299 at Walmart
It's the same story for the Xbox Series S. Current stocks of the console are gone, so you'll need to wait for the new Xbox to be restocked.
Xbox Series X at Lenovo
Xbox Series X: $499 @ Lenovo
PC manufacturer Lenovo is also selling the Xbox Series X, and might be a good retailer to check off-hours. (Should they replenish stock). Currently, they have no stock of either console.
Xbox Series S: $299 @ Lenovo
Lenovo also offers the Series S, but like most others, is currently out of stock.
Xbox Series S at Newegg
Xbox Series S: $299 @ Newegg
Newegg doesn't offer restock events per se. Instead they offer raffles, where shoppers can win a chance to purchase a next-gen console.
Where to buy Xbox Series X buying tips and resources
Apart from refreshing retailer websites, there are other tips you can use to increase your chances of scoring an Xbox Series X. One secret Amazon tip which we tested allowed us to put an Xbox Series X in our shopping cart four times without fail. In addition, there are other online channels you can check to see when a unit might become available.
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 not a bad idea to make an account on Slickdeals and set a deal alert for “Xbox Series X.” You’ll get an email alert when a new thread is made about replenished stock. But we’ve found that sometimes Slickdeals doesn’t email users fast enough. So it might be better to type in “Xbox Series X” in the search bar and sort by new. Be willing to check in multiple times a day.
CheapAssGamer is a long-running video game deals website that too has a forum thread dedicated to the Xbox Series X. As of writing, the thread is over 63 pages long, 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. Feel free to join a few of these groups.
And be sure to subscribe to the Xbox Series X subreddit. Sure, most of the page is dedicated to discussions and memes, but if a user notices a restock, they’ll let the community know. For example, one user found Xbox Series X units in stock at their local Walmart, with others too discussing similar finds. Again, it seems that some Walmart locations may be holding on to units to sell on 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. Because it requires a paid account to get access to these wholesalers, there are often fewer people jumping over each other to find a unit. If you don’t have a subscription to any of these retailers, ask a few friends or family members.
Unfortunately, wholesalers tend to bundle new consoles with either extra games or accessories. So you will likely have to pay more than the standard $500.
Check at specific hours
Generally, retailers like to make stock available at certain times. The time when new Xbox Series X stock is most likely to be made available is at midnight ET, on certain days. Check all the retailers and you just might get lucky.
Other retailers favor times like 7 a.m. ET, for when customers wake up, while others will aim at midday to give everyone the best chance of finding a new Xbox Series X console.
- Costco: Xbox Series X | Xbox Series S (in and out of stock)
- Sam’s Club: Xbox Series X (out of stock)
- BJ’s Wholesale Club: Xbox Series X | Xbox Series S (in and out of stock)
If the units are out of stock online, it might be worth going to a physical location. You must bring your membership card, or go with someone who has a membership. And be sure to wear a face mask (over your nose) or retail associates will ask you to leave. If none are available in store, then at least you can walk out with a $5 rotisserie chicken.
Xbox Series X deals
Unfortunately, there are no Xbox Series X deals to report on at the moment. Demand for Microsoft's console is so high — and supply so low — that retailers simply have no incentive to offer Xbox Series X deals. And when Xbox Series X deals do show up, we expect the sales to come in the form of bundles and freebies rather than dollar-off discounts.
However, it's possible to score Xbox Series X deals on games and accessories. Amazon frequently has Xbox controllers and accessories on sale, whereas Best Buy usually has multiple games on sale.
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.
VGC reported that a now infamous PS5 scalper group going by the name of CrepChiefNotify managed to snap up 1,000 Xbox Series X consoles as soon as they became available at U.K. retailer Very. But in a twist of fate, Very cancelled 1,000 Xbox Series X pre-orders, somewhat torpedoing the efforts of the scalpers.
As frustrating as it can be to find an Xbox Series X or Series S, we suggest you avoid buying a console from these scalpers. Paying massively over the odds for a console that doesn't have a huge range of new Xbox Series X games isn’t a shrewd move in our opinion. If you can hold out, Microsoft should have more Xbox Series X units to ship, as well as the promise of more exclusive games for the console.
A note on Xbox Series X restocks
Xbox Series X restock has gotten easier to find in stock, but it can still sell out fast. Despite our best efforts to bring you timely updates, Tom's Guide can't guarantee you'll be able to purchase an Xbox. Nevertheless, we are committed to bringing you up-to-the-minute information on all restocks as soon as they happen.

deedubs Thanks for the links. I was actually clicking through them without much hope but was able to snag a system at Target. I'm still in shock as I head out the door to pick it up after receiving the confirmation that it's waiting for me at the store!Reply -
JDS12451 I was able to walk into Walmart two weeks ago and get my Series S. My local Walmart has had three shipments of them as far as I know. That's 4 Series S at a time so 12 total. Still haven't seen them in any other Walmart or anywhere else. Still can't get a Series X or PS5 yet either. I am fine with my Xbox One X (for physical disc) and Series S combo but really like to have the Series X.Reply -

If you're interested in the All Access deal, Game Stop still has some available. You have to apply for credit though. but it's a line of credit through Citizens and it works out to about $37/mo for 24 months, and you get the Xbox Series X with 2 years of Ultimate Game Pass. Total works out to about $840 after 2 years. Worth a look.JDS12451 said:I was able to walk into Walmart two weeks ago and get my Series S.
