Microsoft is making Xbox consoles even more expensive in the US

Microsoft is raising the prices of its Xbox consoles in the US, effective October 3rd. The price increases range from $20 for the entry-level Xbox Series S model to $70 for the 2TB Xbox Series X Galaxy Special Edition. This follows a previous price hike in May, and Microsoft cites changes in the macroeconomic environment, likely due to tariffs, as the reason for the increases. The price of the Xbox Series X Digital is now $50 more than the PS5 Digital Edition, and the 2TB Xbox Series X Galaxy Special Edition is more expensive than the PS5 Pro, despite the latter offering better performance. As Microsoft shifts its focus towards game streaming and publishing on other platforms, the entry-level Xbox Series S may still be worth considering, but for other models, streaming or waiting for games to come to other platforms could be the more financially sensible option.
