In May this year, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox Series X/S will increase its price worldwide, with the US market having the largest increase.Today, Microsoft announced that the Xbox Series X/S console will increase its price again, this is the second price increase this year, and the new price will take effect two weeks later on October 3, 2025.

Microsoft did not specify the reason for the price increase, but only expressed "changes in the macroeconomic environment."The company added that understanding “these changes are challenging” and ensuring that these changes are “made after careful consideration.”At present, the prices of accessories such as handles and headphones remain unchanged, and the prices of hosts in countries outside the United States will also remain unchanged.

Starting from October 3, 2025, the Xbox Series console prices are as follows:

Xbox Series X - $649.99 (up $50)

Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Special Edition - $799.99 (up $70)

Xbox Series S 512GB - $399.99 (up $20)

Xbox Series S 1TB - $449.99 (up $20)

When console and accessories prices rose in May, the Xbox Series S (512GB and 1TB versions) rose by $80.The Xbox Series X price rose by $100, while the 2TB special edition Xbox Series X rose by $130.

Thankfully, the increase today is not that big, but it is puzzling to hear the price increase again.Although Microsoft did not mention the term "tariff", the price increase was limited to the United States, which shows that the current U.S. government's tariffs may be the reason for the two price increases in the past five months.

Microsoft is not the only hardware manufacturer to increase the price of hosts.Sony just raised the price of the PS5 in the U.S. by $50 last month, while Nintendo has so far only raised the price of Switch 2 accessories, but the threat of price increases from the console itself remains.
