Xbox console price increases in Europe and UK fully revealed, with Series X now costing €200 more - Video Games Chronicle
Microsoft has implemented significant price increases for its Xbox Series X and S consoles across Europe and the UK. The company attributes these hikes to rising component costs in the electronics industry.
Why it matters
The rising cost of gaming hardware reflects broader inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges within the global consumer electronics market.
Xbox had previously said a price hike was coming in August, but only confirmed US prices
Video Game News 2nd Aug 2026 / 9:34 am Posted by Chris Scullion The extent of Xbox Series X/S price hikes in the Europe and UK markets has now been revealed.
Xbox confirmed back in June that it would be increasing the price of its Xbox Series X/S consoles on August 1.
At the time, however, it only opted to share the US price increases, including an increase of $100 for its 512GB models and $150 for its 1TB models.
Now that the price increase has actually been implemented, the full leap in cost for players in Europe has finally been revealed.
As noted on the Resetera forum , the price hike in Europe is €200 for 1TB models, and €150 for 512GB models.
