Xbox Series X|S Console Purchase Pilot: Re-Opening Flight in Xbox Insider Hub on Tuesday....

Thank you, Xbox Insiders, for the engagement so far in the Xbox Series X|S Console Purchase Pilot. you filled available slots within the first 48 hours, asked us dozens of questions, gave mountains of feedback here in the sub and through surveys, and will be responding to a third wave of Xbox Insider Hub surveys next week.

It is with excitement that we share the decision today to extend and expand this console purchase pilot into another wave, beginning Tuesday, June 1st at 11:00 AM Pacific. We've allocated an additional batch of incoming console inventory, enough to re-open flight registrations in the Xbox Insider Hub.

If you are not already joined to the Console Purchase Pilot flight, you'll want to open the Xbox Insider Hub on your Xbox One console or Windows 10 and join the Console Purchase Pilot flight from the Previews section of the app when it reopens on Tuesday. Later that week, we'll send a separate survey to you wherever you receive your Xbox Messages which asks about your console preference.

If you are already joined to the flight and have already received a 'not selected in this round' message, you are already included in the next selection round as long as you stay joined to the flight in the Xbox Insider Hub. If you are joined to the flight but didn't see a message, check for a message from Xbox in your Parties & chats tab on console.

Your feedback matters, and we continue to learn. We've already made two significant changes to this pilot (and fixed a few bugs!) based on your feedback:

1. Registration was opened to the Win10 version of the Xbox Insider Hub in addition to Xbox One for greater flexibility. As this is a pilot validation for purchasing from an Xbox One console, the flight is not visible on an Xbox Series X|S console.
   
2. The status of an order placed from a reservation was unclear. We are including additional messaging that indicates where you can go to see your order status, including confirmation, processing, shipping, and delivery. This reservation system does not use the same Microsoft Order Confirmation emails as non-reservation orders.

Please be sure to share with us your experiences in this pilot so that we can continue to learn and grow. There are surveys in the Xbox Insider Hub that correspond to each phase in the pilot, and you can look for the Purchase Flow survey to hit the Xbox Insider Hub on Tuesday.
