Xbox Console Prices Increase Across Europe UK and US
Microsoft has announced a major update to Xbox console prices across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The new prices became effective on August 1 and apply to every Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X model currently available.
The biggest change can be seen in Europe, where the Xbox Series S 512 GB now costs β¬499.99 instead of β¬349.99. This is one of the largest price increases for the Xbox lineup in recent years. The Xbox Series S 1 TB model has also increased from β¬399.99 to β¬599.99.
Xbox Series X models are also more expensive. The 1 TB Digital Edition now has a price of β¬749.99, while the standard 1 TB version with a disc drive now costs β¬799.99.
The United Kingdom has also received higher Xbox console prices. The Xbox Series S 512 GB now sells for Β£429.99, compared to its previous price of Β£299.99. The 1 TB model is now available for Β£519.99. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series X Digital Edition costs Β£619.99, and the disc version is now priced at Β£669.99.
Customers in the United States will also pay more. The Xbox Series S 512 GB now costs $499.99, while the 1 TB model is priced at $599.99. The Xbox Series X Digital Edition now sells for $749.99, and the standard 1 TB console has increased to $799.99.
Reports suggest that rising GDDR6 memory costs are one of the main reasons behind the increase in Xbox console prices. The higher cost of memory has made console production more expensive, leading Microsoft to adjust prices in several regions.
Demand for gaming consoles is also expected to grow as players prepare for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI. Strong demand and higher production costs may continue to affect console pricing over the coming months.
These prices are Microsoftβs official retail prices. However, the final price may vary depending on the retailer, local taxes, and special promotions.
