US Gamers Face New Xbox Price Hikes Effective October 3rd
Xbox consoles are set to become more expensive for consumers in the United States, with a new price hike taking effect on October 3rd. This marks the second increase in just a few months, following a global adjustment made in May.
Microsoft has confirmed that the upcoming price changes will exclusively impact the U.S. market, leaving prices for controllers, headsets, and consoles in other regions unchanged. The company cited “changes in the macroeconomic environment” as the reason for the adjustment, acknowledging the challenges these changes present to players.
Here are the updated U.S. prices for Xbox consoles, effective October 3rd:
- Xbox Series S 512GB: $399.99 (up $20)
- Xbox Series S 1TB: $449.99 (up $20)
- Xbox Series X Digital: $599.99 (up $50)
- Xbox Series X: $649.99 (up $50)
- Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition: $799.99 (up $70)
Despite reporting an 18 percent boost in overall profits and a 13 percent increase in its Xbox business during its last earnings call, Microsoft has moved forward with these revised prices. The company continues to emphasize its commitment to offering diverse gaming options and value for its player base.
