Even Microsoft’s own marketing team has made a mistake in at least one occasion, according to The Verge senior editor Tom Warren: I wouldn’t necessarily call a boost in Xbox One X sales a “setback” for Microsoft (although it’ll be interesting to see how many of those orders get canceled or returned in the coming days), but it is just one of the many issues that arose when Xbox Series X pre-orders opened yesterday. Although Microsoft sought to avoid the pandemonium caused by Sony with PS5 pre-orders last week, retailers couldn’t seem to keep with the sudden rush of customers at 11 am ET on Tuesday. Microsoft has reassured fans that there will be more Xbox Series X and Series S consoles in stock at launch for those who weren’t able to secure a pre-order.

The Xbox Series X and Series S, which are priced at $499 and $299 respectively, will launch on Nov. 10. Here’s a guide on how and where to pre-order these consoles. And once you secure your pre-order, here’s the complete list of confirmed games coming to the Xbox Series X/S at launch.
