Updated Xbox Console Prices
Microsoft is increasing the price of Xbox consoles by $100 to $150 starting August 2026 due to rising component costs. The company is also discontinuing the 2 TB model while maintaining the Series S as an entry-level option.
Why it matters
This reflects broader inflationary pressures and supply chain volatility in the consumer electronics sector, signaling potential price hikes across the gaming industry.
Effective August 1, 2026, we will be updating prices worldwide. The price of XBOX consoles will increase by US$100 for 512 GB models and US$150 for 1 TB models. We will also be sunsetting our 2 TB model.
