Xbox Series X orders are being delayed to December at last minute

The Xbox Series X releases tomorrow, November 10th… but some people won’t be getting theirs. Unfortunately, people (including some of us at GameZone) have begun getting delay emails from Amazon. As the new consoles, have begun shipping to others, people have been keeping a close eye on tracking updates.

Some have noticed that their Amazon orders haven’t shipped while others have. If yours hasn’t shipped, you should probably check your email. Amazon’s email notes that some orders won’t arrive until December 31st but could arrive before then.

“We expect to ship your console in the coming weeks as we recieve more inventory in November and December. At this time, we anticipate that you will receive your Xbox Series X by 12/31 or before. We are making every effort to get it to you as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience,” reads the email.

It sounds like since stock will be replenished in both November and December, it could come within the next few weeks. Amazon hasn’t publicly confirmed any sort of compensation but you can try your luck with Amazon’s customer service. Amazon previously said they may have delays with PlayStation 5s but have yet to solidify that.

GameStop will have a limited amount of Xbox Series X bundles in-store and online tomorrow. A limited amount of PlayStation 5 consoles will also go on sale this week, exclusively online.

Xbox Series X will release tomorrow and PS5 will release on November 12th.
