Where to buy Xbox Series X: all the retailers to check for the console
The Xbox Series X has still been difficult to find as we approach Black Friday 2021. Even if the Xbox Series X stock situation has improved greatly a year from launch, consoles are still not readily available in stores at a moment’s notice. The good news, though, is that Microsoft’s latest Xbox isn’t selling out in a matter of seconds so your chances of getting one when there is a restock are much higher. Perhaps as part of this year’s Xbox Black Friday deals? To get you in the best position possible, we’re here to ensure you’re kept up to date with where to buy the Xbox Series X.
Latest: Although things have been getting better, we’re still in a dry spell in terms of Xbox Series X stock. In the US, consoles were briefly available, including a restock of the limited edition Xbox Series X at the Microsoft Store. Similarly, the UK had a restock at Amazon and through the All Access program at Game. We await any news of future restocks for the standard Xbox Series X console as part of this year’s Black Friday sales.

You will be able to get your hands on a console at some point, and even though restocks are selling fast it is still possible to scoop up the new console.

Can you buy Xbox Series X in store?
In the US, in-store stock varies by region, but we are seeing some success with Target. Be sure to check in-store stock levels early in the morning and head down straight away if you spot consoles available. Stores are allocating what little stock they have on a first come first served basis, but it is possible to buy the new Xbox Series X in person.
If you’re in the UK, things are a little different. Obviously the current lockdown has scuppered many plans to buy Xbox Series X in store so you’re at the mercy of online retailers for now.
