Xbox Series X and Series S restockings: available now from Microsoft

Update March 1, 2021, 1:49 p.m. ET: Xbox Series X is currently sold out on the Microsoft Store. But the Xbox Series S and S series package is still available from Microsoft and Antonline respectively.

If you’re having trouble finding an Xbox Series X or Series S, you have another chance to buy one. Microsoft’s direct website has restocked its two next-gen consoles, the Xbox Series X and Series S. Like some other gaming gadgets released late last year, these consoles are extremely difficult to buy, but if you are moving fast, you can take one on the right now.

Xbox Series X / S

Price taken at time of publication.

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, being its most powerful (and biggest) option at a cost of $ 499.99. While the $ 299.99 S-Series targets smooth 1440p performance, the X-Series focuses on fast-paced 4K gameplay.

If you’re new to the Xbox family of consoles, Antonline has a compelling S-Series bundle. For $ 405 you get the S-Series console, an additional controller, plus three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

If you’re securing either console and wondering what to buy next, you might want to think about what games to add to your library. One of the most popular titles currently available on Xbox is Yakuza: like a dragon. Of course, if you want to get what you pay for, I highly suggest purchasing an Xbox Game Pass Console or Game Pass Ultimate membership. But I highly suggest Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as it comes with some additional perks including an Xbox Live Gold membership.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (three month subscription)

Price taken at time of publication.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a subscription that combines Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold in one package. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers also have access to Microsoft’s xCloud cloud gaming service, which is only compatible with Android devices.

I also recommend purchasing an additional controller if you are playing a game with a local co-op with a friend or family member. As for the additional storage, both consoles have rather limited storage: 512 GB on the S series, 1 TB on the X. You can buy an SSD expansion card which is only available in 1 TB, and it is very expensive, costing $ 220.

If you plan to download older games that don’t take full advantage of the next-gen hardware and don’t want to use up your limited SSD storage, you can get an external hard drive.

Seagate’s NVMe SSD expansion is the device you need if your Xbox Series X / S game collection grows. Unlike standard external USB drives, this one is fast enough to run all the latest games.

Seagate Game Drive for Xbox 4TB External Hard Drive

A 4TB hard drive is ideal for storing older Xbox games if you plan to play them on the Xbox Series X / S. Also includes a two-month trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
