Amid uncertainty over the Trump tariffs, Microsoft announced it's increasing the prices of Xbox consoles, controllers, games, and other accessories. However, as of now, it's not increasing the prices of its Xbox Game Pass.
Starting this holiday season, new Microsoft titles will cost $10 more, from $69.99 to $79.99. Still, the company says these titles purchased on the Xbox Store have the "benefit of Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing players to buy once and play on console and PC at no additional cost."
The company says in a statement, "We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration given market conditions and the rising cost of development. Looking ahead, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games across any screen and ensuring value for Xbox players."
That said, beginning today, Xbox consoles are more expensive. The Xbox Series S (512GB) moves from $299.99 to $379.99. The Xbox Series S 1TB now costs $429.99. The Xbox Series X digital edition is now priced at $549.99, with the 2TB Galaxy Black special edition costing $729.99.
Xbox wireless controllers and headsets retail pricing have moved to $64.99 and $119.99, respectively.
European and UK prices are also increasing. Interestingly, the new price increases match some of Nintendo's last movements to the Nintendo Switch 2. For example, the company's newest Mario Kart World title is priced at $80.
