The Xbox Series X was released several weeks ago but there are still many that have not been able to get one and have been eagerly awaiting news on when they will get another shot – only it now is not looking like you will be able to get one this side of Christmas.
Two consoles that are available, the Xbox Series X (£449) and a digital Xbox Series S edition (£349), have both sold out and while there is still a chance more will be coming this month, getting on in time for Christmas Day is starting to seem like a long shot.
But for now, it’s still a waiting game of when more stock will arrive, same for PS5 stock.
Smyths is a good place to look for the console, alongside a revamped Gamespass, as they will be the only ones to have Xbox All Access as an option when they have stock, which means you can pay for both monthly rather than outright.
EE and BT also made the Xbox Series X/S available to customers who logged in to My BT and their account to add it to their plan, though it’s sold out for the moment.
Currently, Very have the Series S in stock but not the topline Series X console- both consoles have been hard to come by and it selling fast. Same too with the Series S units in stock over at Argos.
We’ll update this page when new Xbox Series S and X stock becomes available.

How to get Xbox Series X on BT or EE
Update: The offer sold out fast, but it’s worth checking back.
BT customers have to log into their MyBT account to see the offer – there’s the consoles and accessories ready to go.
EE customers can add the cost of the new Xbox on to their mobile contract – paying 11 interest-free instalments as part of the Add to Plan service.
If you’re not a customer, there are a few EE Black Friday deals you can check out.
When will Xbox Series X and S be back in stock?
It still looks like more will be here imminently. Several outlets are saying they expect more stock in December and you would imagine that Microsoft will be working to get more units shipped out so customers still have a chance to grab one for Christmas.
When is my Xbox Series X/S pre-order arriving?
Pre-orders were available as of 22nd September at 8am in the UK – for both the top-dog Xbox Series X and the digital-only Xbox Series S. But while gamers had ample notice to pick one up, unlike what happened with the PS5 pre-order release, that was, well not ideal, they sold out extremely quickly – with several big retailers seeing their websites buckling under the pressure of how many people were trying to get hold of one.
We will continue to keep this page updated with the latest retailers and their stock levels- although you’ll have to be fast – stock disappears as quickly as it appears. We’ve broken down where stock is live in more detail below.
Xbox Series X review: “The next-generation of gaming arrives with a console that more than lives up to the hype. A sleek design and a super quiet machine, the Xbox Series X really shows what next-gen games can look like and does so in style. Long loading times already seem like a thing of the past and quick resume is a brilliant addition, while the small changes to the controller make all the difference. Add to that Gamespass that now includes the wealth of titles that come with EA Play and it is clear that Microsoft are onto a winner.”
Xbox Series X Accessories
A selection of Xbox Series X accessories are also available now. However, good news for you existing Xbox owners who have already snapped up many of the great additions you can get for the console – they will work on the Xbox Series X too! So anything that you buy now will not need replacing and while there will likely be new, snazzier versions when the console launches, such as the controller, you won’t have to buy them straight away in order to make the most out of the new console.
And above are all the brands that have been officially licensed by Microsoft to make the accessories and as you can see, there are a lot of them!
Here are some of the items you can buy right now that will work on the Xbox One X.
- Xbox Elite Controller – Buy now at Amazon for £159
- Play and Charge kit – Buy now at Amazon for £28.89
- Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 Headset – Buy now at Amazon for £89.99
