Xbox Comments on Low Series X Availability in Poland

This week, several Polish websites reported that Xbox Series X consoles were nowhere to be found in stores. These reports sparked rumors that Microsoft would essentially retire from selling the hardware in the European country.

We reached out to Microsoft and received the following comment from a spokesperson:

While we expect to have limited Xbox Series X supply in Poland this holiday due to player demand, Xbox Series S consoles will still be available. Players can visit xbox.com/regions to learn more about how to play with Xbox.

Fans of the Green team have been increasingly antsy following Microsoft’s big policy change around first-party games. More games are getting ported to other consoles (chiefly Sony’s PlayStation 5) right away, and there’s a growing concern that this, coupled with the consistently low sales for the past couple of years, might eventually persuade Microsoft to just give up on its own console ecosystem and focus on making games for all platforms instead.

It does not seem like there’s much to worry about on that front for the time being. At the same time, there’s no guarantee that the situation will not change in the future.
