Xbox announces price increase globally, citing "market conditions" ...Middle East

News by : (Radio Times) -

In an update to the Support section of the Xbox website, the company confirms that as of 1st May, it has "adjusted recommended retailer pricing for our consoles and controllers worldwide".

The Xbox Series X will now cost £499.99 / €599.99 in the UK and EU, and $599.99 in the US.

This marks an increase of £50 / €50 for European consumers, and a whopping $100 increase for US players.

"We expect to adjust the pricing of some of our new, first-party games starting this holiday season to $79.99," reads the post.

The company may hope that any losses in sales caused by higher game prices will be recouped by additional Xbox Game Pass subscribers, with the service perhaps being viewed as better value in comparison.

While this could, of course, mean anything, it doesn't feel like too much of a jump to put at least some of the fault down to the US tariffs that have been put in place in recent months.

With the company moving to a new model that focuses more on selling their games across all platforms, an increase in console pricing does appear somewhat punishing for loyal Xbox consumers.
