What Time do Xbox Series X Pre-Orders Start
We expect that Xbox Series X pre-orders will start at 12:01 AM Eastern on September 22nd. That is not confirmed. We’ve seen companies start to shift from midnight releases, but with a game console that is in high demand, we could see Microsoft stick to a late-night option.
These will all be online pre-orders, so you will want to make sure that you have a credit card handy and an account at the retailer you choose. We will update this when we know more about the timing.
