Microsoft Announces Significant Price Increases for Xbox Consoles and Games
In a recent move, Microsoft has raised prices for all Xbox Series consoles, accessories, and games globally, with the cost of new Xbox titles set to reach $80 this holiday season. The price hikes come amid trade war uncertainties and tariffs, resulting in increases of over 25% for some models. Notably, the Xbox Series X has seen its price raised by $100, now retailing at $600. These changes align with similar adjustments from competitor Sony, prompting concerns among gamers regarding the rising costs in the console market.
