An Xbox Series X restock is taking place today at Walmart at 9am PT / 12pm ET (December 8), and it's exclusively for Walmart Plus members. Here's how you can get your hands on the elusive system. 

Because this Xbox Series X restock is reserved only for paid Walmart Plus members, you will need to have a subscription to the service in order to participate (free trial members will not be granted the opportunity to partake). Fortunately, this plan is one of the more affordable options when it comes to retailer loyalty schemes, and should make all the difference in ending your search early. 

Walmart Plus costs $12.95 per month (or $98 annually) and gives you not only early access to Xbox Series X stock drop. However, it's worth reiterating that you're still going to have a very tight window with getting yourself an Xbox Series X restock today at Walmart - while you're competing with far fewer people, given it isn't open to the general public, there's still very high demand. Even so, if you've missed out in the past, today could very well be that perfect opportunity to get the console.

Xbox Series X restock: buying advice

1. Log in as early as possible

2. Have your details ready to go  

We recommend having your billing address and online banking information pre-emptively entered so that you don't lose out during your time window to buy the console. Just getting the system into your basket isn't enough to guarantee the purchase, so don't take any chances.

3. Be patient 

It's likely that you'll be entered into a virtual queue line with a buffering window before you hit the landing page. Our best advice is to wait for it to tick over - there's normally a timer or a loading bar on-screen - as clicking or refreshing could mean losing your spot.

4. Aim for bundles (if possible) 

Given how difficult Xbox Series X units have been to track down since release, the vast amount of attention is going to be aimed at the standalone system, where it will sell out first. Should bundles be packaged in with some of the best Xbox Series X accessories or games, we recommend making them the priority to avoid any disappointment. 

Once you've got the console in hand, make the most out of it with the best TV for PS5 and Xbox Series X, as well as the best Xbox Series X monitor.
