Microsoft and Xbox have been pretty dormant when it comes to restocks of Xbox Series X and S. The company has taken a different route from Sony who has come out with several ways to ensure fans get their hands on the PlayStation 5. But that might change, according to some industry insiders.
Xbox Series X/S has been more challenging to find than PS5, primarily due to fewer restocks. According to an industry insider, Christopher Dring, Microsoft is looking to shift gears and come out with multiple new stocks around the holiday season.

As per Christopher, the “word on the industry bongos” is that Xbox and Microsoft are gearing up for a big Xbox Series X and S restock and will fulfill some demand via a decent supply of consoles. He also adds that these Xbox Series X and S restocks will happen in the window between Forza Horizon and Halo Infinite’s releases, which are some big exclusives for the next-gen consoles.
Word on the industry bongos is that Xbox Series X supply will improve quite a bit for the year-end run-in, just in time for Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon. Microsoft will utilise those games and Game Pass as the key hardware selling points during the Christmas sales window

Till now, the company has not focused much on resupplies, leaving many players sour. But suppose this new leak turns out to be accurate. In that case, there can be multiple restocks in the coming months. Dring even said that the console manufacturer would take advantage of its exclusive games and the Xbox Game Pass service to drive up the sales “during the Christmas sales window.”
The holiday season will be a perfect time to come back with new supplies and improve Microsoft’s sales numbers. Sony has been very active in the recent few months and has filled many gaps, and Microsoft needs to do some catching up.
