Xbox Series X restock Twitter: Best Buy, Walmart and Target – get the dates

Saurav Yadav April 08, 2021

Update: There was a limited Walmart Xbox Series X restock today, April 8. Miss it? Our Xbox restock Twitter tracker will alert you about a console drop tomorrow – if there is one from Best Buy. 

Our Xbox Series X restock Twitter tracker is often the first to know when Best Buy, Walmart, Antonline and other US stores will have the Microsoft console back in stock. Matt Swider has helped more than 13,000 people get a next-gen console in recent weeks. While the Target didn't happen today, there was a limited Xbox Series X restock at Walmart and we just saw stock at GameStop on Tuesday and on Wednesday. Best Buy seems like the most likely for a PS5 drop on Friday, April 9, but that's far from confirmed.

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

Target Xbox Series X restock date

Update: There's unlikely to be a Target Xbox Series X restock on Thursday, April 8, according to our sources. It's been four weeks since the retailer has had the Xbox back in stock – Thursday, March 11. It's had two PS5 restock events since then, which seems rather lopsided. The only retailers to favor the Xbox have been Walmart and Amazon recently. 

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

Best Buy Xbox Series X restock date

The Xbox Series X restock at Walmart and Best Buy didn't happen as expected last week, and we know of new inventory at Best Buy warehouses. That's good news if you're eager to buy Xbox Series X in April. Stores in the US are stockpiling the Microsoft consoles, and we hope to see it from Walmart, Best Buy and Amazon; all are now overdue for a restock.

We usually see Xbox Series X orders open up at Best Buy on Fridays at 12pm EDT / 11am CDT / 10am MDT / 9am PDT, or a few minutes after that time. We've seen it as late as 3:15pm EDT once, however, Best Buy completely missed this window. There's now more hope that it'll have an even bigger restock on Friday, April 9.

GameStop Xbox Series X restock date

The GameStop Xbox restock did happen, but it wasn't the Microsoft console we had wanted. Only Xbox Series S bundles were in stock on Tuesday, April 6. GameStop has a restock cadence of every week to week-and-a-half, and the last drop Xbox drops haven't contained the Xbox Series X, so we're unsure how this fits into the retailer's pattern. All we know is that we're due some Series X consoles soon.

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:

Walmart Xbox Series X restock date

No Walmart Xbox Series X restock happened on Thursday, April 1 at 2:30pm EDT / 11:30am PDT, even if the retailer has been doing every other Thursday for the last month, and we don't expect another restock this week. Looking more broadly, it does have a one-month gap between cycles, so we might not see the Xbox Series X back in stock before Thursday, April 15, according to that broader pattern. The next PS5 Walmart restock date will almost certainly rely on how much inventory it has at its warehouses, meaning its cadence can change.

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.

Microsoft Xbox Series X restock date

The official Microsoft Xbox store often has the Series X console in stock throughout the week, however, it sells out in three minutes or less, according to our restock Twitter tracker account. 

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.

Antonline Xbox Series X restock date

  • Next restock date: Maybe in a week or two
  • Last Xbox Series X restock dates: Wednesday, April 7
  • Before that: Wednesday, March 17
  • Wait time: Online only, fast shipping (sells out quickly)
  • Follow our Twitter tracker to get alerts

Today, April 7 marks three weeks since we got an Xbox Series X restock at Antonline, and the online store may be gearing up for another loaded bundle. The official word from the American retailer is that it does a next-gen restock every week, and while we saw a PS5 restock yesterday, we're overdue for a Xbox restock today.

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.
