Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide

Microsoft is raising the prices of its Xbox Series S / X consoles, Xbox controllers, and even some new Xbox games around the world. Starting today, Microsoft says it has adjusted its recommended retailer pricing for its Xbox consoles and controllers worldwide, and that it’s also planning to adjust the pricing of some of its new first-party Xbox games this holiday season up to $79.99.

Microsoft’s Xbox Series S (512GB) model is moving from $299.99 to $379.99, a price hike of $80. The Xbox Series X (1TB) is increasing to $599.99, up $100 from the existing $499.99 pricing. The Xbox Series S 1TB model is moving to $429.99, and the Xbox Series X digital edition will now be priced at $549.99, with the 2TB galaxy black special edition model now an eye-watering $729.99.

Xbox wireless controllers and headsets are also having their recommended retail pricing adjusted in the US, with the base controller moving to $64.99 and the Xbox wireless headset now at $119.99. You can already find both of these accessories at this type of pricing right now.

Some new Xbox games are moving from $69.99 to $79.99 this holiday, in a move that matches the more expensive pricing of Nintendo’s top Switch 2 launch titles. Xbox Game Pass pricing will remain the same, though.

The Xbox console and controller price increases will also impact European countries, including the UK, as well as markets like Australia. In Europe and the UK the Xbox Series S (512GB) will now be priced at €349.99 / £299.99, with the Xbox Series X (1TB) rising to €599.99 / £499.99. Sony also increased the price of its PS5 consoles in Europe and the UK earlier this month.

The price rises come after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that Microsoft “ended the quarter as the top publisher by preorders and preinstalls on both Xbox and PlayStation Store” during the company’s Q3 fiscal earnings call. Microsoft also saw PC Game Pass revenue increase by 45 percent year-over-year.
