How to find the Xbox Series X in stock now

Finding Xbox Series X in stock is still difficult, but not impossible. In this guide, we’ll help you buy an Xbox Series X and avoid paying exorbitant prices for Microsoft’s latest console.

We still haven’t seen Xbox Series X stock improve much as we go deeper into the year. While we may see gradual improvements, we expect inventory at retailers in the United States and elsewhere to continue to fluctuate over the coming months and maybe even years.

The chip shortage will even affect these consoles and could last well into 2022, meaning Xbox Series X stock won’t fully recover until later this year. The Biden administration thinks the chip shortage will extend into the second half of 2022.

That said, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger tells us: CNBC the chip shortage could last until 2024. Initially, the company thought the shortages would end in 2023.

If you’re planning on going ahead, we’ve got links to check for stock and a guide on how to get notified when the Xbox Series X is in stock at a store so you can order one quickly.

Where to find the Xbox Series X in stock now

The Xbox Series X is sold directly from several retailers. If you can’t find any stock there, you can buy a console from resale sites like eBay if you’re willing to pay a premium.

Here’s a rundown of where you can manually check for Xbox Series X stock. Manually checking for stock is smart because it gives you an edge over those who don’t regularly check the console’s availability.

You can also use these links to check if the Xbox Series S is in stock to save $200 if you don’t need a disc drive or that much horsepower.

Note that you can sign up for a stock alert with some of these retailers. We recommend using this method if the option is available.

How do I get an Xbox Series X now

Last year we were able to get our hands on an Xbox Series X with fast shipping via Xbox All Access† So if you’re in the market for a new console right away, this is definitely one route to consider.

If you don’t want to mess with inventory tracking at retailers, you can search for inventory on eBay. people are selling the Xbox Series X on eBay for much more than the suggested retail price. That’s far from ideal, of course, but it’s an option if you get tired of waiting.

Please make sure to read the listing before purchasing. We’ve seen questionable listings in the year since the Xbox Series X released. eBay is usually pretty good at closing them up, but you still need to be careful.
