The Xbox Series X is Microsoft's flagship video game console and was launched alongside the Xbox Series S in November 2020.

The Series X and Series S were in high demand during the holiday season of 2021, with the Series X selling out frequently and the Series S topping the sales charts. The Series X has more power and more storage space than the Series S, but it lacks a disc drive so you can only play games that are downloaded.

Microsoft, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Newegg are some of the retailers that limit online sales of the Series X. The console can be found at specific stores but only online. Walmart gives first access to the restocks of the Xbox Series X to its paying Walmart+ members.

Microsoft has a monthly payment program called Xbox All-Access that will give you an Xbox Series X and a subscription to Xbox Game Pass for $34.95 per month. After two years of the All-Access program, the Xbox Series X console is yours to keep. Walmart has the Xbox Series X.
