Hard to believe it's been more than a year since Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S console. Since then the console has seen stellar releases from Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 to Psychonauts 2 and The Artful Escape. This isn't even taking into account the quality third-party and indie titles available to play.
Of course, actually getting your hands on the consoles is another matter altogether. While the all-digital Xbox Series S is a reasonably straightforward purchase from most retailers, the Xbox Series X has proven troublesome time and time again for consumers. With chip shortages and manufacturer issues expected to continue well into 2022, T3 thought it better step in to help consumers hunt down the console and start playing the latest, greatest games as soon as possible.
The official T3 Xbox Series X tracker is frequently updated to bring you the latest information to secure the new next-gen console. Naturally, there are a few more steps you can take ahead of time to best prepare for any unexpected restocks – such as having your details saved across major retailers, utilizing social media and opting for bundles when available – but check back regularly here to find out the latest stock information.

Amazon US
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S supplied have run dry at Amazon US for now but more is sure to come. Amazon also has a great range of Xbox Series X games and accessories, too.
Walmart
Walmart had a big Xbox Series X just before Black Friday, but stock has been limited since. Joining the Walmart+ subscription is your best chance of getting your hands on a console here. It's also participating in the Xbox All Access program so if you want to grab a new console with no upfront cost, Walmart's one to watch.
Microsoft Store
While the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are Microsoft's babies, visiting the store right now and trying to buy one will direct you to retail partner websites where you can pick up the consoles. You can actually buy the consoles on the Microsoft Store app for Xbox One, so try that too! In the meantime, bookmark the website, and keep checking in.
Target
Target joined a couple of other US retailers that saw the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S back in stock over Black Friday. The ever-popular Xbox All-Access bundle popped up here too, and is great value for money in terms of having a massive library of games available straight off the bat.
