Xbox Series X restock: our console tracker – here's how to get it this week

Our Xbox Series X restock tracker is helping thousands figure out when the Microsoft console is back in stock, and you could buy it as soon as today, Tuesday, March 9. We're tracking it at 12 stores in the US, with Target and Best Buy scheduled to have an Xbox Series X restock at minute. Both American retailers are amassing inventory of the console, according to employees who contacted TechRadar via Twitter.

You can do two things today to immediately find Xbox Series X in stock. Check the stores below and receive alerts from our Xbox Series X restock Twitter tracker.

It'll look like:

  • 2. Check for Xbox restock yourself – these are the 12 trusted stores

Trusted Xbox Series X stores

  1. Microsoft: Xbox Series X | Xbox Series S

We're almost certain that Target will have it next, and that Xbox Series X restock date is likely as soon as today. We've been told by several Target employees via Twitter DMs that Monday is likely the date based on their Xbox inventory in the back.

We've had success: about 25% of our PS5 Twitter tracker replies show they got the new console from our alerts. It's gotten easier over time as more people get the Sony system – there's slightly less pressure today than there was two weeks ago.

Best Buy, Walmart and GameStop would have an PS5 and Xbox restock, and our DMs are open to see if Target is going to have new console stock Monday. So far, people in the know are saying it's coming soon. We'll update this story as soon as we nail down a time.

It's important to point out that you won't be able to order from retail stores. We don't want to be responsible for sending people to physical stores looking for a PS5 restock that doesn't exist. Some stores allow for in-store pickup (Target and certain Best Buy stores), however, none of the actual ordering takes place in stores.

The Xbox restock pattern

The official Microsoft Xbox Store has had the most reliable Xbox Series X restock in the last week. But there our other US stores that have had restock recently: Walmart, Best Buy, Target, ANTonline and GameStop were the ones to check in early March.

The problem people are having is that stores like Walmart and Best Buy will initially come back in stock and sell out within seconds. They get turned off. However, with a few simple page refreshes, it may come back in stock.

American retailers release Xbox restock in short waves. Consumers are also likely to cancel their order midway through or their credit card gets denied and the inventory goes back into the system five minutes later. This is what extends restock and why we recommend being persistent.

Xbox Series X restock success stories

Through Twitter, we're tracking the next Xbox stock from 12 sources, and we've seen a few PS5 consoles pop up over the last week and, even better news, high success rates for people who have been looking for restock for months. 

Even if you don't get to buy the console today, there may be a Xbox drop any one of the days in the upcoming week.
