It won’t be easy, since supplies are running out. But these tips could help you find restocks for the next-generation video game consoles, Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and S.

By Michael Kan

Are you still trying to find an Xbox Series X or a PlayStation 5? We feel you. Both products have been selling out in minutes due to the intense demand from consumers and scalpers buying up all units. But don’t let the constant “out of stock” notices deter you.

Last week, I wrote about the tips I used to buy an Nvidia RTX 3070 card and AMD Ryzen 5800X CPU. Despite the insane demand, I succeeded in purchasing them online. This made me wonder whether the same approach could help me buy a next-generation video game console.

The answer is yes: I could’ve bought an Xbox Series X yesterday, even though the product remains largely out of stock. I used a free inventory-tracking service called HotStock.io, which alerted me about an Xbox Series X restock occurring on Microsoft’s online store.

HotStock.io is pretty straightforward to use: Search for the product for which you’d like to get alerts, and it will monitor product listings for restocks and send you notifications via your browser, email, or over the mobile app. In exchange, you have to provide a valid email address, which can then be shared with third-party companies.
