UK retailer Currys has announced it will restock the in-demand Xbox Series X this afternoon.
Sales of the console, which sold out in minutes when it launched earlier this month, will go live at 1pm UK time, the firm wrote in an email to customers.
Both the £449 Xbox Series X and £249 Xbox Series S will be available for purchase.
To be in with a chance of grabbing one, head to this link at 1pm GMT on November 24.
Stock is expected to be limited, so we’d suggest you get there a little early to ensure you’re at the front of the queue.
Like the PlayStation 5, which sold out at record speeds when it went on sale in the UK last week, the Xbox Series X is in extremely high demand.
Series X sold out – what happened?
Microsoft released two new consoles – the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S – worldwide on November 10.
Pre-orders for the gaming machines opened in September and sold out within minutes. Stock remains in short supply.
Some shops opened up additional sales at 8am UK time (3am ET) on launch day, though they appear to have already sold out.
However, some places are already offering pre-orders for the next round of stock, which is expected to arrive next month.
Due to sky-high demand and the coronavirus pandemic, most retailers are only selling the consoles online.
That means you can’t walk into a store and grab one, unless you pre-ordered a console online.
In the UK, your best chance of grabbing an Xbox Series X/S now is to pre-order one from one of the links below.
Consoles have also begun appearing on eBay at hugely inflated prices, with one console selling for more than twice the £449 RRP.

What are the Xbox Series X and Series S?
The Xbox Series X and Series S are the latest consoles from Microsoft.
They’re the follow ups to the Xbox One X and Xbox One S respectively.
The Series X is all about power and performance, and is said to be so fast that it virtually eliminates loading times.
It’s capable of processing games in glorious 8K definition and can render huge virtual worlds not seen in any console before it.
The Series S is a bit smaller and cheaper, with lower specs and no disc tray.
Gamers have to download all of the titles they want instead of buying physical copies.
Both consoles launched November 10 worldwide.
