arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-21 07:20:34

Today, that analysis is already a bit out of date, as Microsoft has announced its second set of Xbox price increases this year in the US. The new Xbox price hikes, which will go into effect on October 3, or roughly five months after the last set of Xbox price hikes, are as follows: Xbox Series S 512GB: $400 (up from $380 in May / launched at $30

cnbc.com Kif Leswing 2025-09-21 11:37:08

Microsoft said on Friday that it will increase the recommended retail price of several Xbox consoles in the U.S. starting in October because of "changes in the macroeconomic environment." The company said it would not increase prices for accessories such as controllers and headsets, and that prices in other countries would stay the same. While Microsoft didn't explicitly attribute the increase to the Trump administration's tariffs, many consumer companies have been warning for months that high

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-21 11:34:21
