We don't often get to report on UK restocks of the Xbox Series X due to them typically being sprung on the public as a surprise, but GAME has confirmed ahead of time that it will have stock of the Series X this Monday.
There is one caveat though, which is that the standalone console will seemingly only be available via Xbox All Access, which is where you pay monthly - £28.99/month for 24 months, including two years of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
As it says in the tweet, it looks like you'll have the option to purchase specific bundles if you're not so keen on the idea of Xbox All Access, although obviously you can expect to pay more if extra games and accessories are included.
So, be sure to check the GAME website at 11am on Monday, March 22nd if you're still in the market for an Xbox Series X, and keep in mind that stock is limited, so it's probably going to go very, very quickly. Best of luck!

They have had the bundles and deals up all week nearly and weekend but saying out of stock for series x, when you try to add to basket.
I guess they are up to ready for when they release them. It’s says preorder for 26th of March.
I think Xbox access is available as well.
Any friendly person here on PureXbox who is from Germany and managed to get their hands on one?
Series S Been available nearly all last week and weekend and still available at Game UK and Argos to click and collect.
That’s a long time for them to still be there, considering how quick the Series x, PS5 and Switch sell when there is stock.
I might get stick for this but the Series s is a mistake, they should of just done a disc less series x for £360 the same as disc less PS5.
Additionally Microsoft and other developers have to consider the weaker series s when developing games.
@Dezzy70 nothing wrong with the Series S. It allows those less fortunate a way to get a newer system.
I have a Series S and One X at the moment ( and the One X hasn't had any use since I got the Series S, even for older games). I will try to get a Series X tomorrow but not going to worry too much if I don't.
If 3rd party developers can put games on the massively weaker switch.. Then I don't see how the series s can be a problem... Isit just certain developers don't want the extra work
I think so, nothing to do with holding games back, it's just extra work
P. S I have a series x.
@SuperJoon
I do agree, but currently in the UK which is a high selling Xbox territory, it seems the series x it what everybody wants and series s are left on the shelf.
Remember this is a brand new system only 4 months old sitting on the shelf’s.
My own opinion is it won’t sell that well and Microsoft would have done better with a disc less series x at £360, with all the full power.
Time will tell, but I do really hope it does sell well as I’m an Xbox guy.
As for others saying about developing and pc sliders and scaling, yes you can do that.
But imagine a development team just developing for series x designed from the ground with a tailored series x engine no compromise at all.
If there was a version of the S with a disc drive I would snap it up. Not convinced I need the full power of the X, but have a lot of Xbox, 360 and Xbone games that I would want to bring to the new console and I'm not prepared to rebuy them digitally.
Guess I'll keep waiting to get my hands on an X.
I have the X at my place back in London, but happy with the S at my family’s place during lockdown. Until true next-gen 4K games are released, not sure makes a massive difference, plus the pricing clearly means next-gen gaming pretty much available to all.
@rsbrowndog
That is a very good point.
A series s with a disc drive would probably do better.
The problem with the series s it’s the weaker console and no disc drive and less ssd memory.
That’s 3 things it’s not got going for it.
At least with the disc less PS5 that’s the only down grade and you get £90 off. At £360.
I had a horrifying experience with Game for my SX. Basically the took the money from my account and didn't ship for two weeks, not properly answering when they would be able to ship and why the took the money so early. Ended up disputing the transaction with my bank. Never again. At the end I snapped one on the official Ms store, I'd recommend to look on it. I'm Italian but live in the UK, managed the get mine on the Italian website, but they shipped from Ireland, so it came flawlessly in two days.
I got one!!!!! Thanks @FraserG for the heads up!! All Access is a hell of a deal.
Having the stock as all access only is a little unfair on UK residents living in Northern Ireland as due to some arrangement, (financial regulations?) that package is not available here...
Was this > < close to pre-ordering one, but haven't. Really frustrating that you can't order just the console by itself, GAME really do wring us much out of their customers as they can! Didn't really want an extra controller as I've already got one but decided to go for it but finally drew the line at the £10 delivery charge. I'm buying nearly £500 of goods from you and you can't throw in delivery, or at least do it at a decent price? I'm out.
@rsbrowndog
As I said, I was in the same pair of shoes as you. Shame on them, just a cowboys company. Keep your eyes everyday on the official Ms store, even the Italian one (as it dispatch from Ireland anyway). I'm sure you'll be able to snatch one within one week (took me three days of random checks)
@Sunanootoko Just after reading your comment I checked the MS store again (as I have been off and on) and they were showing as in stock. Ordered, just got to go and smile sweetly at my wife now and hope that I don't have to take up residence in the box it arrives in! Still showing as in stock at 20:28 GMT today (22/03) for anyone else looking...
@rsbrowndog
Mate this is making me so glad! I'm really really happy for you as I've passed through Game and it's not worth it. You got what you wanted without getting ripped and you'll get two years of Ms warranty also, which is really spot on (if you'll have any faults they will come to your house to collect)! Enjoy and welcome to the family
Having a terrible experience so far.
At first it wouldn't let me login to my game account so I had to checkout with a guest account, meaning I couldn't grab the reward points - I have disputed this with them and asked that they link my order to my account so that I can track it properly and get my reward points; I was impressed when they responded the same day, asking for my information to look into it but they have since ignored me.
The xbox was supposed to have been dispatched yesterday to possibly arrive today or tomorrow at the latest but the last update I had was on Tuesday to say my item had been packed, but no email to say it has been dispatched. Now I'm playing the waiting game to see if it's just a system error and if I actually get my console on time. Fingers crossed.
