To get the most out of the Xbox Series X, you’ll need a TV with 4K resolution.

Many new generation games allow you to choose between a performance mode and a graphics mode. The former lowers visuals slightly for a smoother, more consistent frame rate, while the latter mode allows for higher resolutions and improved visual effects at the expense of frame rate.

If your TV only outputs 1080p (also known as Full HD), you won’t get the most out of your new Xbox Series X. To help you upgrade your TV without breaking the bank, we’ve put together a list of the best 4K TV deals for entertainment, movies and games.

Yes, but the stock is extremely limited. Smyths Toys has a useful tool on their website to check the stock levels of their stores in the UK. Currently only one store has stock, with five X Series consoles available at the Boucher Road branch of Smyths in Belfast.

This tool is updated regularly, so it’s worth checking your local stores several times a day to see if any stock has arrived.

Even retail giant Amazon has struggled to keep up with demand for the Xbox X series this year. The site was restocked three times this month, September 8, 9 and 20. These followed two restockings in August.

It’s unclear when Amazon will have more Xbox Series X stock, as new consoles are often dropped on the website without warning. Amazon currently says very little about when new inventory will arrive, with a note on the website simply stating that it doesn’t know “when or if” it will return to stock.

As with most retailers, the less powerful (but cheaper) Xbox Series S is available for purchase now (£ 249.99, Amazon.co.uk).

Smyths Toys had two Xbox Series X restockings this month, September 9 and 24. The former was a small replenishment and only online, while the latter was only available through Microsoft’s All Access system, where the console and Game Pass are paid for monthly.

Smyths only had two replenishments in August, but with the website indicating that stock will arrive in September next, we are hoping for a third replenishment before the end of this month.

Game has already had two Xbox series X restockings this month, September 8 and 24. However, these were both through Microsoft’s All Access system, where the console is paid monthly. The package includes the Game Pass, allowing you to play games for a monthly fee (included in the All Access price) without purchasing each one individually.

Prior to that, Game had no less than six Xbox Series X restockings in August, so with just two so far in September, we expect more to arrive before the month is out.

We saw further drops in stock of Argos and Asda yesterday (September 27) and now our eyes are on Game and Smyths Toys. This is not an exact science, however, as Xbox Series X restockings tend to happen without warning, unlike the PS5. Smyths is currently saying that the new Xbox Series X stock will arrive in September, and, with the month almost over, it could happen any day now.

Hello Xbox hunters and welcome to another day of the IndyBest Replenishment Live Blog. As you all know by now, the Xbox Series X is still incredibly hard to get. We’ll be here all day bringing you the very latest news on UK restockings of the must-have gaming console.

Well, that’s all of us for today! We hope you’ve managed to get an Xbox Series X today, but if not, don’t worry, there will likely be more drops in stock as the week goes on.

Asda was the only retailer today to release new inventory in two separate waves, both selling out within minutes. Personally, we believe the retailer can release some bore before the end of the month.

Argos, Game and Smyths Toys are also among our favorite retailers, possibly adding new inventory this week, based on previous replenishment models.

Have a great evening, Xbox hunters, and see you tomorrow for more Xbox Series X stock updates.

We’re nearing the end of the month, and few Xbox Series X stock drops are in sight. So let’s take a look at the console’s little brother, the Xbox Series S, which is generally widely available.

Just to let you know, all old and new Xbox games will work on both consoles, although on the less powerful Xbox Series S the graphics quality will be somewhat lower.

Additionally, the Xbox Series S does not have a disc drive, so it can only play downloaded games. Its storage capacity is also smaller.

In fact, you don’t need an Xbox Series X to play Xbox Series X games, just a fairly fast internet connection and a compatible streaming device.

We’ve rounded up all the best laptops for all budgets, so you’re sure to find something to suit your needs.
