XBox Series X pre-orders have begun ahead of its November 10 release – and if you pre-order FIFA 21 for the current XBox One today, you can upgrade it to the Series X version as soon as you have your new console – for free.

Pre-ordering FIFA 21 for XBox One ahead of its own October 9 release means you could be playing the latest FIFA on a next-gen console as soon as the Series X comes out. It also has backwards compatibility, meaning you can play any of your current XBox One games on it.

Amazon will have rolling stock – so if it seems sold out when you first look, it could be worth checking back later. It's likely to have one of the biggest stocks of any retailer, so this a link worth bookmarking.

Getting your pre-order direct from the Microsoft source is a good idea – and although it quickly sold out in Australia, we'd expect them to replenish stock sharpish, so it's another one to keep an eye on if hope seems lost.

Pre-orders haven't begun at Currys' online store yet, with only in-store pre-orders beginning at 10am. We'd expect that to change soon, and ss such a big tech retailer, they are expected to have a large amount of stock available when pre-orders start.

Very was the most reliable stockist for PS5 on pre-order day – but stock still ran out quickly. Check here for the latest availability, but be fast about it.

Game is a reliable stockist for new consoles – but with the popularity of the XBox, the site has been difficult to get on so far. If you get through, make sure you're ready to buy.

FourFourTwo Staff

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
