Walmart is once again selling the $499.99 Xbox Series X, so if you’ve not yet managed to land the next-gen console, now is your chance. Unlike previous restocks, this one isn’t just exclusive to members of the retailer’s premium subscription service, Walmart Plus, so everybody gets a shot.

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and biggest) option. While the Series S is aimed at smooth 1440p performance and takes a disc-less approach, the $499 Series X is focused on fast, 4K gameplay.
To maximize your chances of nabbing an Xbox Series X today, make sure to first log into your Walmart account and double-check your shipping and billing details are correct. Know that Walmart often releases stock in 10-minute intervals, so don’t give up trying to add the console to your cart if you can’t at first. To increase the odds even more in your favor, try adding the Xbox Series X to your cart using the mobile app on your phone or through Walmart’s official app.
