screenrant.comGameStop has announced a new stock refresh of theXbox Series X, with bundles becoming available in-store at some point today, January 20. Despite launching back in 2020, new-generation consoles like the Xbox and PS5 remain in short supply, with many fans still unable to acquire the latest console hardware, in part due to manufacturing issues.
As shared on Twitter, GameStop has confirmed that select stores will have Xbox Series X consoles available on January 20, though they'll only be available as bundles. The retail chain didn't disclose what the bundles contain, but it's possible they come with some form of Xbox Game Pass subscription, as seen on the GameStop website, or they may include additional controllers or some of Xbox's biggest games, like Forza Horizon 5 or Halo Infinite. Those looking to acquire a bundle are advised to act fast and check their local stores to avoid disappointment. It's not clear if the retailer is planning to refresh its online stock anytime soon for those unable to travel.
