Xbox prices are increasing by up to €200 or £170
EDITOR BRIEF
Microsoft’s latest Xbox price increases are now confirmed for the UK and EU, with some models rising by as much as €200 or £170. The 1TB Xbox Series X is increasing to £669.99 / €799.99, while the 512GB Xbox Series S jumps to £429.99 / €499.99, a rise of over 43%.
INSIGHTS
The scale of these increases suggests console hardware is becoming harder to subsidize as component costs rise, especially for memory and storage. Microsoft’s move could pressure demand in Europe and the UK while reinforcing a broader shift toward services and subscriptions over hardware sales.
