Microsoft announced its second Xbox console price adjustment for 2025, effective October 3rd. The company attributes these changes to macroeconomic environmental shifts affecting the gaming industry. American consumers will face higher costs while international markets remain unaffected by the latest pricing strategy.
The Xbox Series X will cost $649.99, representing a $50 increase from current retail prices. Microsoft's premium 2TB Galaxy Special Edition variant rises to $799.99 with a $70 adjustment. Both Series S models experience $20 increases, bringing the 512GB version to $399.99 and the 1TB model to $449.99.
This marks the second price adjustment since May's substantial increases that affected multiple console variants. Sony implemented similar pricing changes for PlayStation 5 systems last month, suggesting broader industry trends. Gaming accessories maintain their current pricing structure across Microsoft's product lineup.
