Looking to get an Xbox Series X or S on launch day? You might want to check your local GameStop!
The Xbox Series X launches in just a few hours (on November 10) and you couldn’t snag a pre-order. What’s a gamer desperate for next-gen gaming to do?
The good news is most major retailers will have some limited number of Xbox Series X|S consoles available in stock on launch day. The bad news is you’ll have to order it online. With coronavirus still a thing, retailers are hoping to avoid mass crowds, so they are sticking to online orders only (or curbside pickup if you have already pre-ordered).
GameStop is one of the only retailers who will be selling Xbox Series X and S consoles in-store on launch day. The video game retailer confirmed they’ll have “a very limited number” of Xbox Series X and S console bundles available for purchase online this evening and in stores during the launch on November 10.

These aren’t the confirmed bundles, but I did find them listed on the GameStop website. It’s possible additional Xbox Series X bundles will be made available throughout the holiday months, but it sounds like this is a hot commodity item and this may be your only chance to get one before 2021.
As a reminder, there are two next-gen Xbox consoles arriving on November 10. The Xbox Series X, which is considered the most powerful gaming console ever, costs $499.99, while the less powerful but more budget-friendly Xbox Series S costs $299.99.
