Xbox series X UK stock – live: Consoles in stock at Microsoft, Game and more

There’s more Xbox stock on the way. We’re tracking retailers as they drop

Update: The Xbox series X is still in stock at Microsoft, Currys and Game. Xbox All Access is also available at Smyths Toys and Asda. Read on for more details.

Since the launch of hits like Elden Ring, Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite, the Xbox series X has become an enticing proposition for anyone looking to upgrade to a cutting-edge games console.

The Xbox stock situation has improved in recent weeks, but despite the general availability of the Xbox All Access scheme – the pay monthly alternative to paying £449 for the console – the console itself can still be hard to come by.

The Xbox series S is easier to find in stock (£249, Amazon.co.uk), but surging demand for the more powerful Xbox series X has left the console sold out across the UK. When it does appear, the Xbox series X can sell out in minutes as customers snap up the available units as soon as they arrive.

That’s why we launched our Xbox stock tracking liveblog, where we track every UK retailer at once to bring you live stock alerts as they happen. We’ll also bring you tips and advice for beating the crowds to bag an Xbox series X, including which sites to pay attention to, deals and discounts on Xbox accessories, game reviews and how to register your interest for new consoles before they go on sale.

The Xbox series X is available at Microsoft now

If you want to buy an Xbox series X without paying extra for a bundle, or subscribing to Xbox All Access, then the Microsoft Store is what you’ll need. Here, you can pick up the series X at its regular £449.99 retail price, bagging you the console and a single controller. No need to spend extra on games and accessories you don’t want.

Xbox stock trackers, downing tools

That’s a wrap. Thanks for reading the Xbox series X stock tracking liveblog today.

We close off the blog with the £449 console in stock and available at the Microsoft Store, a £499 Forza Horizon 5 bundle in stock at Game, and a £679 hard drive bundle in stock at Currys.

Our expert advice? Grab the Xbox by itself at Microsoft, and if you really want Forza Horizon 5 sign up for Game Pass Ultimate, which includes the racing game among its 100+ strong library of on-demand titles. Game Pass Ultimate costs £10.99 per month, in contrast to buying a single game for £50.

For more Xbox deals and advice on finding the best bundles, join us again tomorrow when we’ll be resuming the search. Bye!

Is there an Xbox VR headset?

The PlayStation 5 has the PSVR (and soon the PSVR 2), but did you know that you can technically use a VR headset with an Xbox series X?

Plug an Oculus Quest 2 into an Xbox and – while you won’t get an actual VR experience – you can play your Xbox games on what looks like a giant cinema-screen sized display inside the headset.

It’s a novelty more than anything else. Unlike Sony, Microsoft has no plans to pursue virtual reality for the Xbox. That’s not to suggest that Microsoft isn’t interested in the tech. The company’s Hololens device is an enterprise-focused augmented reality headset for Windows, with some applications for gaming on the side.

‘Gran Turismo 7’ reviews are in

The long-awaited new entry in the Gran Turismo series – the hardcore racing simulator that effectively launched the original PlayStation – arrives on 4 March.

Our review of Gran Turismo 7 describes it as a purists’ favourite, crammed with cars to collect “ranging from a humble Honda Fit Hybrid … right up to Teslas, Ferraris, Bugattis, and mostly anything else one could think of. “

Exclusive to the PlayStation 5 (but important enough for an Xbox blog to sit up and take notice), Gran Turismo 7 promises to take full advantage of the console’s hardware to create the most photorealistic driving game ever. It certainly looks pretty.

Pre-orders for Gran Turismo 7 are now available at the following spots.

Is Very due an Xbox restock soon?

Very tends to have precisely one Xbox restock every month, always on a Tuesday and always at around 9:30am. This has been the case since early last year, making Very one of the few retailers it’s possible to accurately predict every time.

These restocks usually happen in the middle of the month, so we’re not expecting another drop for at least another two weeks, but keep Very in mind once Xbox stock runs dry again.
