Overview

• Reddit posts and outlet spot checks reported that certain Target and Walmart locations, including in the Kansas City area, were removing Xbox consoles, games, and accessories.
• One Redditor cited a Target electronics manager alleging a regional purge, and photos showed emptied display cases and Xbox titles moved to clearance in some stores.
• ComicBook reported the Xbox Series X was unavailable for purchase on Target’s website, while the Series S still appeared available for shipping.
• Windows Central reached local Target and Walmart employees who said they had not been informed of any coordinated removal and noted Xbox items were still in stock at their stores.
• Microsoft issued a statement saying Target and Walmart remain committed partners for Xbox, as the scope and cause of any localized changes remain unconfirmed following Costco’s earlier reduction in Xbox offerings.
