Microsoft has raising the price of the Xbox for the second time this year, specifically in the US. While Microsoft has not blamed the tariffs directly, they are most likely the cause.
“We are navigating an incredibly dynamic environment right now. We’ve assessed the changing macroeconomic environment and addressed the applicable impacts,” Microsoft has said in a generic comment supplied to multiple outlets.
Here are the new prices which will go into effect on October 3rd.
| Console | New US price (RRP) | Previous US price (RRP) | Original Launch Price (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xbox Series S (512GB) | $399.99 | $379.99 | $299.99 |
| Xbox Series S (1TB) | $449.99 | $429.99 | $349.99 |
| Xbox Series X | $649.99 | $599.99 | $499.99 |
| Xbox Series X Digital | $599.99 | $549.99 | $449.99 |
| Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition | $799.99 | $729.99 | $599.99 |
This has been the first console generation where machines have become more expensive to buy after launch.
The Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition only launched a year ago, meaning it has jumped $200 in just one year.
It also makes make the Xbox Series X 2Tb version the most expensive console on the market, a full $50 more than the PS5 Pro.
