Knowing the Xbox Series X restock dates could land for the hard-to-buy Microsoft console as soon as today, May 17, and you'll get the inside scoop from our Xbox Series X restock Twitter tracker Matt Swider – if you follow his Twitter account and turn on notifications. Stores in the US that are expected to have a restock include Best Buy, Walmart and Target, with Target having the most confirmed Xbox Series X inventory in stores, according to exclusive information from Matt Swider's sources.
- When will Xbox restock? Follow our Xbox Series X restock Twitter tracker Matt Swider to receive alerts about the Xbox drop. It's the fastest way to get real-time updates of new stock.
- Never buy Xbox Series X directly from Twitter users. They're all overseas scams – only buy it from the websites Matt points you to.
Matt Swider is tracking Xbox Series X restock opportunities from 12 different stores in the US. Here's an example of the alert you'll get if you follow his Twitter account.
Will Xbox Series X restock?
- Yes, we're likely to see it from multiple retailers in the US this week
- Follow our Twitter tracker to get alerts
Matt has been sending Xbox Series X restock alerts for all retailers in the US and the thought is that Target is nearly a lock for this week with the most likely date and time being Wednesday, May 19 at 7:40am online (you can pick it up in stores thanks to same-day in-store pickup, but the order must be secured online).
We may see Walmart restock Xbox on Thursday, May 20 at 2:30pm (also online), although that's not confirmed just yet (we usually know from our Walmart restock sources at 12pm EDT on Thursdays).
Best Buy is overdue to have the Xbox Series X in stock, too. It has a Monday restock two weeks ago late in the afternoon, so we could see Best Buy repeat its sale of the Microsoft console today or sometime this week. Sony's console was the only next-gen console in stock last week, according to our PS5 restock Twitter tracker.
Antonline is another restock console source we track daily, and the American store, while small, has shipped the Xbox Series X console to its customers very quickly. Here's the one thing to know: while Antonline does restock at least one next-gen console per week, it's had the Xbox Series X in stock recently, and it may be Sony's turn this week.
Microsoft Store Xbox Series X restock
When will Microsoft restock the Xbox Series X? We always suggest checking with us every Sunday in May 2021 at 11:59pm EDT / 8:59pm PDT. While we think it comes in stock at midnight, since that's technically Monday morning, we want to be as clear in our advice as possible and avoid any confusion around when you'll be able to buy the Xbox Series X. It's Sunday night before you go to sleep for Monday.
What to do when it's in stock at Microsoft: You should keep trying to buy it for at least 30 minutes from the Microsoft store – with a lot of refreshing even if it says out of stock. Why? Thousands of people will be trying to make the purchase of the Microsoft console, and many will either fail to add their credit card details properly or bail on buying it (a lot of people just like to see if they can buy it). After a few minutes (roughly 15 minutes), that inventory will kick back into the Microsoft store system and be available to buy again. That's our best tip: don't give up on trying to buy the Xbox Series X.
What not to do: Most people see the initial Xbox Series X restock Twitter alert from Matt Swider at midnight, and they immediately go to the Xbox website to buy it only to see the add-to-cart button say 'Out of stock'. Frustrated, they reply to Matt with a message like 'Out of stock' or 'It's gone'. However, what they should be doing is sticking to the Microsoft website and constantly refreshing the page.
