Having a single retailer restock the Xbox Series X is rare enough, but you can currently find the rarefied console at a trio of retailers while supplies last. Anyone still trying to get their hands on Microsoft’s monolithic console can pick one up at Best Buy, Microsoft, or Walmart for the standard retail price of $499.99.
Amazon is also still offering its invite program for anyone that’s willing to wait. In addition to the standalone 1TB console, all of the retailers mentioned here are offering bundles that include games, peripherals, or Xbox Game Pass subscriptions with your purchase. Microsoft, for example, lets you bundle an additional controller with your order for a $10 discount, while Best Buy has a package that includes a second controller, a three-month Game Pass subscription, and a copy of Halo Infinite for $640.96, knocking $24 off the combined price of this bundle.
We’re not sure if this means that the scarcity of the Xbox Series X is coming to an end, but availability certainly seems to be improving across the board. We’ll keep an eye on stocks and keep you posted if anything runs dry, but for now, we’d suggest grabbing a console while you can.
Accessories for Xbox consoles
If you do plan on picking up Microsoft’s next-gen gaming console, you may want to think about grabbing a few accessories and games to go with it. Below, we’ve outlined a few of our current favorites, including the Xbox Stereo Headset and Halo Infinite.
Update July 19th, 7:49PM ET: We’ve adjusted the pricing in our product cards for the Xbox Wireless Controller and Halo Infinite. We also replaced the Xbox Wireless Headset and Forza Horizon 5 for Elden Ring and the Xbox Stereo Headset in our list of recommendations.
