Microsoft is raising the prices of its Xbox Series S \/ X consoles in the US next month. The Xbox Series X will be priced at $649.99 in the US starting October 3rd, up from its existing $599.99 price. The Xbox Series S will move to $399.99, up from $379.99.<\/p>\n

Microsoft blames<\/a> the price hikes on \u201cchanges in the macroeconomic environment,\u201d which is a lot of words to say: tariffs<\/a>. Xbox console pricing outside the US will remain the same. Thankfully, pricing for controllers and headsets will remain in the same in the US. <\/p>\n

The price rises mean Xbox Series S consoles will increase by $20, Xbox Series X consoles by $50, and the 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition Xbox Series X is increasing by $70 all the way up to $799.99.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full list of price increases in the US:<\/p>\n

Microsoft only just raised the prices of its Xbox products worldwide in May<\/a>, with price hikes to the Xbox Series S \/ X consoles, controllers, and headsets. Those previous price increases already bumped the Xbox Series X up by $100, and the Xbox Series S by $80.
