Xbox Series X stock update – all you need to know

After a long period of not being able to pick up an Xbox Series X, we're starting to see pockets of stock appearing more regularly. You still need to be quick, but options are gradually becoming available. Here’s what you need to know:

The Series X stock is now beginning to stabilise and you should be able to reliably pick one up as of the time of writing (September 2022).
If Xbox Series X stock does begin to dwindle again keep tabs on all the UK's major retailers and if you're really keen to get a console, set up accounts with them and add your payment details. Some retailers won't 'secure' you a console even if you're the first to add it to your basket, meaning that spending time adding in your payment and delivery details could be the difference between getting a Series X and not.
So far in 2022, the most reliable retailers for Xbox Series X stock have been Currys, Game, Very and the Microsoft Store. The Microsoft store in particular has been a reliable way to get the Xbox Series X console on its own and not as part of a bundle.
As we're now starting to see more reliable stock, the value of Xbox Series X bundles is getting better with retailers actually offering Xbox Series X bundles that save you money. We're hoping as we reach the end of 2022 the value of Xbox Series X deals and bundles gets even better. We've even seen BT Shop drop the Xbox Series X to £440, so we hope to see further great Xbox Series X deals with events like Black Friday 2022.
The first special edition of the Xbox Series X was released alongside Halo Infinite, bundling in both the game and a limited edition controller. The console sold out almost instantly and so far is the only special-edition console of this generation. We're hoping to see more as we approach more of Xbox's big exclusives in 2023.
Another route to go down is eBay. All the eBay listings you see on Gaming Deals are from approved sellers on eBay, selling new consoles (unless specified in the deal row). We've seen quite a bit of Series X stock filter through with these sellers, typically as part of huge bundles. These are a lot more expensive than the Series X's RRP, but if you've got the budget, or if you think you'd be buying much of what's included in the bundle anyway, they can be a great way of securing a console.
StockX is also a good option for an Xbox Series X if the console is out of stock. They're selling the console for barely above RRP and will verify everything is fine with the console you're purchasing to give you peace of mind.
We've also started to see Xbox Series X refurbished consoles with are available for around £400-£420 from MusicMagpie and the Microsoft Store. This might be a decent route if you're looking to save yourself a bit of money on your Xbox Series X console.

The next generation of Microsoft console is the Xbox Series X

Having already claimed the mantel of the most powerful home gaming console ever with the Xbox One X, Microsoft is now aiming to retain that title with their next-generation console, the Xbox Series X. It arrived worldwide in November 2020, offering everyone the chance to experience the latest games at 4K quality at a smooth 60 frames per second. Graphics, load times, frame rate and more are much improved for the next generation of console gaming.

Helping it stand apart aesthetically from all prior Xbox consoles is its vertical height, which sees it resemble more of a PC than a traditional home console setup. The Xbox Series X is actually three times as tall as an official Xbox One Controller, but it can also be titled to the side – your current home media centre is safe. The Xbox Series X will welcome another decade of great games, seeing the return of tentpole franchises like Halo and Gears in addition to all-new ones we know are already in the works.

What is the Xbox Series X UK price?

The Xbox Series X has been confirmed as retailing with an RRP of £449.99. This is about in line with the traditional launch price for a console, and given the high-end components included in the console, including an SSD and significant amounts of GPU, it’s a solid price. What makes a pleasant change is the price is kinder to the UK than is usual on console pricing. In the past, consoles have launched with the same price tag in Euros and US Dollars as in pound sterling, so it’s actually beneficial to pick the console up at its UK price. For that price, you’ll also receive the revamped wireless controller design, and don’t be surprised if there are a few extra goodies such as Xbox Game Pass trial memberships included too. We'd expect as we go further into the Xbox Series X's life cycle that retailers will have to offer better Xbox Series X deals that drop it below the RRP or bundle in items that offer that additional value. You also have the option of picking up a refurbished Xbox Series X console from retailers like MusicMagpie and the Microsoft Store, ranging from £380-£420 depending on condition.

Two consoles are better than one

Sony released two PS5 models when the console was launched back at the tail-end of 2020 – a regular version with a disc drive, and a digital version that will rely on digital downloads. Alongside the Xbox Series X is the Xbox Series S console. Smaller in form factor, with an SSD half the size of the Series X and further limitations to the resolution it’s able to output, the Series S is a next-gen console without the next-gen price.

The fastest, most powerful Xbox ever created

The Xbox Series X effectively doubles the power capabilities of the Xbox One X, featuring a staggering 12 teraflops of power compared to its predecessor’s 6. Combine this with a Custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 that should make load times almost a thing of the past, and you have a home console capable of running the latest games at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. What’s more, Xbox Series X can actually reach levels of 8K and 120fps for certain games, providing they’re developed with this in mind.

A redesigned Xbox controller

A new home console means a new gamepad to go along with it, and the Xbox Series X controller does an excellent job at blending the old and new. It’s essentially the same design as the official Xbox One wireless controller, only this time there’s a dedicated share button added in the centre, a hybrid D-pad that allows for more flexible play and the overall size has been slightly reduced; Microsoft states it will now fit 98% of hands. There's been plenty of colorways of this new Xbox controller check them out with our Xbox Series X | S controllers category page.

Huge games from the get-go

Console launches of the past have been notorious for the lack of quality games to go with the latest cutting edge hardware. However, the Xbox Series X promises a blockbuster right out of the gate. Backwards compatibility will mean your Xbox One library will continue to work, while initiatives such as Project xCloud and Game Pass will continue, giving you access to a huge range of games. Meanwhile, Microsoft have confirmed the Xbox Series X will offer Smart Delivery, automatically upgrading games to play as best they can on the console. For example, an Xbox One copy of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 will automatically be upgraded to the Xbox Series X version if you move from a One to a Series X console. 2022 has been a fantastic time to own an Xbox Series X as one of the premier ways to play games like Elden Ring, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and more. The console will only grow as an investment when we look forward to titles like FIFA 23, Gotham Knights, Redfall, Starfield and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl later down the road. There's plenty to be excited about if you're an Xbox Series X owner.
