Microsoft only hikes all Xbox prices: hold one before the hike is effective
Microsoft
Gaming is going to be very expensive – at least for Xbox fans. Effective today, May 1, Microsoft Xbox is increasing the price of console and controllers, not from a trivial amount:
-
The Xbox series S 512GB, now $ 380, which is an increase of more than $ 300 to 25 percent.
-
The Xbox series X 1TB Digital is now $ 550, an increase of $ 450 to 22 percent.
-
The Xbox series S 1TB is now $ 430, $ 350 to 22 percent increase).
-
The Xbox series X 1TB with blue-rays is now $ 600, an increase of $ 500 to 20 percent.
-
The Xbox series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition is now $ 730, an increase of $ 600 to 22 percent.
The news does not end there. Controller and headset now start at $ 65 and exit the “full” Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Games will also increase the price, although not yet: “Some of our new, first-sided games will be launched in $ 79.99 in this holiday season,” Microsoft explains. It seems more about bending in the ambitious switch 2 game pricing of the last one nintendo, and less about any possible tariff effect (although it is worth noting that Xbox prices are rising worldwide, not only in the US.)
But not all is negative, as if you are in the market for a new console, not yet holding the prices of retail vendors online. Remember some major caves here before you whip your credit card. The current Xbox platform is effectively five years old, the refresh with the leak mid-jane “Brooklyn” has been canceled. An all-new Xbox generation is also expected to arrive in the next few years, perhaps with 2028, leaks suggests that it can be a “cloud hybrid” machine. More and more have also started popping up on the previous Xbox exclusive PS5. He said, if you are waiting to buy an Xbox, it’s time now, because these heritage prices can disappear in any minute.
