Xbox prices are on the rise, according to a recent Microsoft announcement, where games, consoles, and accessories prices will increase.
Nintendo and Sony both recently announced that they will raise the cost of their first-party games to $80. Now, it seems Microsoft is also following in their footsteps, as their latest announcement pertains to the rise in prices for many Xbox products.
These price hikes come amid a series of uncertain tariff policies. Naturally, raising these prices has caused fans to voice their complaints on various platforms.
All Xbox Console Prices Expected To Rise
These price hikes include the Xbox Series X and S consoles, along with various accessories like controllers. Additionally, many first-party games are also expected to rise to $80. You can read the official announcement here.
The announcement outlines new prices across various regions for different Xbox products. Some major console price changes include:
- Xbox Series S (512 GB) – $379.99
- Xbox Series S (1 TB) – $429.99
- Xbox Series X Digital – $549.99
- Xbox Series X – $599.99
- Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition – $729.99
Additionally, prices for various headsets and controllers are also expected to increase in the future. However, it should be noted that pricing changes for headsets appear to apply only in the United States and Canada. Moreover, some controllers, such as the Adaptive Controller and Adaptive Joystick, will remain unchanged (for now).

This price rise is not entirely unexpected, as Nintendo and Sony had already increased their console and game prices recently. However, the move is still drawing considerable criticism from fans on various platforms.
