Xbox Series X restock: GameStop, Best Buy and Walmart – when and where to buy it next Xbox Series X stock

Update: The GameStop Xbox Series X restock today, April 14 is now sold out, but the US retailer won’t be the last with the Microsoft console back in stock. Best Buy, Walmart and Antonline could have an Xbox Series X restock before the end of the week. Matt Swider, our Xbox restock Twitter tracker, will send a Twitter alert when the Xbox Series X is available to buy – if you follow the account. 

To get advance notice, follow Matt Swider, our Xbox restock tracker:

• Miss it at GameStop? Follow @mattswider, our Xbox Series X restock Twitter tracker to receive alerts about the next Xbox console drop. It’s the fastest way to get real-time updates of new stock.
• Do not buy Xbox directly off Twitter users – which are all scams – only to the websites Matt points you to.

Our Xbox Series X restock alerts look like this (for example):

The Xbox Series X restock at Walmart and Best Buy should happen this week after all three retailers have been offering limited or no consoles in stock recently. You can get alerts on when and where the Xbox is back in stock, with Matt Swider offering real-time updates through his Xbox restock Twitter tracker. Other stores that should have availability that he tracks include Antonline (which had an Xbox Series X restock last week), Costco, Sam’s Club and the official Microsoft Xbox store.

Walmart Xbox Series X restock date

The next Walmart Xbox Series X restock should be Thursday, April 15 one week after the retailer offered a limited unannounced Xbox stock on April 8. Matt Swider always has information about the Walmart restock time about three hours ahead of orders opening up. With April 15 at 2:30pm EDT / 11:30am PDT for Walmart orders, expect to see an announcement from the Xbox Twitter tracker by noon EDT on Thursday, unless Walmart changes up the date.

Here’s what our last Walmart Xbox stock alert looked like on March 18:

Antonline Xbox Series X restock date

The next Xbox Series X restock date may be at Antonline, as the US retailer is known for next-gen restocks weekly, according to its own admission on Twitter. We expect both a PS5 restock and and Xbox restock this week – both consoles in bundle form.

Antonline ships consoles fast and it doesn’t play games with its add to cart button like other Xbox Series X restock locations. This means you have about three minutes from the time Matt Swider sends his tweet to actually buy it.

Target Xbox Series X restock date

The next Target Xbox Series X restock date may be soon. It’s been almost five weeks since that last Xbox drop at the retailer. We’ve seen a few stores build up small amounts of Xbox console inventory over that time. Matt Swider will have early information on the Xbox restock situation next week.

Here’s our Target Xbox Series X restock alert from Thursday, March 11:

Best Buy Xbox Series X restock

The rumored Best Buy Xbox Series X restock date is Friday, April 16, according to the store’s pattern of releasing the console on Fridays – when it has inventory. It didn’t have an Xbox drop for the last two Fridays, but TechRadar knew about this ahead of time, so when we have indications that it will happen again, we’ll send out an alert through our Xbox Series X restock Twitter tracker.

What time will the Best Buy Xbox restock happen? April 16 at 12pm EDT / 11am CDT / 10am MDT / 9am PDT is when to look for the console. We’ve seen Best Buy restock as late as 3:15pm EDT, but it’s usually earlier with the three-hour time frame.

GameStop Xbox Series X restock date

The GameStop Xbox Series X restock today was a big success. A lot of people bought the console, although it was in bundle form. The retailer usually does console drops either once a week or every week and a half. So we could be due the console as soon as next week.

Note: GameStop routinely restricts its Xbox Series X restock to bundles, and while it can cost more, it makes buying the new Xbox much easier because resellers have a more difficult time profiting from the packed-in games and accessories (which are all readily available). We usually know in advance when a GameStop restock happens.

Our Xbox Series X restock Twitter tracker alert for GameStop will look like:

Amazon Xbox Series X restock date

We saw a surprise Xbox Series X restock at Amazon on Tuesday, March 23, and our restock tracker sent out an alert as soon as it happened. Even with that, the restock lasted just two minutes for the Series X. We also saw the Series S in stock it lasted a bit longer, but it has since sold out. There have only been a handful of Amazon Xbox restock dates since the console launched in November 2020, so we’re unsure of when it’ll be back in stock. We’ll update this section when we know more.

New: We’ve been told by one source that they’ve seen more Xbox Series X consoles in warehouses that PS5 consoles, so we may actually be due another round of the Microsoft console before we ever see another restock from its biggest rival.

Here’s what our Amazon Xbox restock alert looked like on Tuesday, March 23

Microsoft Xbox Series X restock date

The official Microsoft Xbox store used to have the Series X console back in stock on random days through the week, however, it sold out one minute, according to our restock Twitter tracker account. We haven’t seen a restock in recent weeks, though. Is Microsoft allowing other retailers to sell its console, or is it building up inventory? We’re going to keep watching and send alerts when Xbox Series X is in stock.

The secret: some people either cancel their orders midway through the process, or their credit card gets rejected, so do keep refreshing when we send out the Xbox restock alert. You may get lucky in scooping up a console that gets kicked back into the inventory system after five or fifteen minutes.
