Finding a place to buy the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S continues to be an annoying task. Not only is it difficult to find retailers that have them in stock, but the restocking of the Xbox Series X in the U.S. seems to be a bit slow this month.

However, we are checking major U.S. retailers daily to see if there are any Xbox Series X and Series S restocks, and will flag any new stock we find.

So to have the best chance of finding out where to buy the Xbox Series X, be sure to check the links below, bookmark this page, and keep refreshing

Currently, the Xbox Series X is sold out at all major US retailers It is. However, Amazon has the Xbox Series S in stock for $299.99.

Microsoft warns that Xbox Series X stock will be scarce until June, but it wouldn't hurt to check if restocks are coming in short order.

To be the first to know when the Xbox Series X is restocked, follow the following Twitter accounts. Also listed below are retailers that may be restocking the Xbox Series X.

Microsoft's new console is flying off the shelves, and for good reason: reviews of the Xbox Series X praised its underwhelming performance, nimble load times, and comprehensive backward compatibility with all generations of Xbox. And, as we noted in our review of the Xbox Series S, for those with 1080p TVs, the less expensive next-generation Xbox can offer many of the same excellent features.

So check out the latest Xbox Series X stock update and our tips for getting the new Microsoft console below.

We have yet to find a retailer that has the Xbox Series X console in stock. But that doesn't mean it's not worth clearing out the retailers below, in case you get lucky.

If you are able to get an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, many of the console's accessories are in stock, including the Xbox Series X's expensive 1TB Seagate storage expansion drive and the new Xbox Wireless controllers are also included.

Below you will find links to each store page, so please sign up and we will keep you up to date on the latest Xbox Series X news.

In addition to updating each retailer's website, there is an online channel where you can check when the product will be available.

Twitter

On Twitter, we recommend following @Wario64. This handle is known for updating the latest deals and restocking information before anyone else on this platform.

Shopping Forums

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

PopFindr

PopFindr is a site that checks the inventory of local retailers based on zip code. For example, you can check to see if your local Target store has the Xbox Series X in stock. Note, however, that even if the item is listed as being in stock, it may be out of stock by the time you arrive at the store.

It's also not a bad idea to create an account on Slickdeals and set up an alert for "Xbox Series X." You will receive an alert email whenever a new thread about inventory replenishment is started. However, we have found that sometimes Slickdeals does not email users fast enough. So it might be better to type "Xbox Series X" into the search bar and sort by new arrivals; we recommend checking multiple times a day, and if you're not sure how many new items you're looking for, you can always check back later in the day to see if there are any new items in stock.

CheapAssGamer is a long-running gaming information site that also has a forum thread dedicated to the Xbox Series X.

Facebook and Reddit

Facebook is also a good source of information; there are several Xbox Series X fan groups that provide information on the latest restocks. Feel free to join some of these groups.

Also, be sure to subscribe to the Xbox Series X subreddit. Of course, the majority of the page is devoted to discussions and memes, but if users notice restocks, they let the community know. For example, one user found an Xbox Series X in stock at a local Walmart, and others are discussing similar finds. After all, some Walmarts are stocking up to sell on Cyber Monday.

Wholesalers

Another retailer to watch is subscription wholesalers like Costco, Sam's Club, and BJ's Wholesale Club. Because a paid account is required to gain access to these wholesalers, few people often jump on each other to find units. If you are not a subscriber to any of these retailers, ask a friend or family member.

Unfortunately, wholesalers tend to bundle additional games and accessories with new consoles. Therefore, you will likely have to pay more than the standard $500.

Check at critical times

In general, retailers like to have inventory available at specific times. The most likely time to stock the new Xbox Series X is at midnight EST on a particular day. Check all retailers and you may be in luck.

Some other retailers prefer 7:00 a.m. ET, for example, when customers wake up, while others aim for noon to give everyone the best chance of finding a new Xbox Series X console.

If it's not in stock online, it may be worth going to a physical store. Bring your membership card or go with someone who has a membership. Also, be sure to wear a face mask (over the nose). If not in the store, you can buy a rotisserie chicken for at least $5.00 to go.

One of the reasons for the Xbox Series X and Series S stock shortages is that duffers are buying up next-generation game consoles in large quantities and selling them at exorbitant prices.

VGC reported that a notorious PS5 duffer group called CrepChiefNotify bought up 1,000 Xbox Series X units as soon as they went on sale at UK retailer Very. There are several words to describe these people, but they are not suitable for publication.

In a twist of fate, however, Very cancelled the pre-order of 1,000 Xbox Series X units, somewhat spoiling the efforts of the duffers.

While searching for an Xbox Seires X or Series S can be frustrating, we recommend avoiding purchasing a console from these duffers, as we believe that paying a large sum of money for a console that does not have a large amount of new Xbox Seires X games is not a wise move. In our opinion, if it holds up through 2021, Microsoft should ship more Xbox Seires X, which promises more exclusive games for the console.
