Microsoft has announced yet another price increase for their Xbox Series X|S consoles.
In a post shared to Xbox Wire, the Xbox Team explained that consoles are typically sold at a loss, and that they had hoped another price increase would not be necessary; however, with rising costs due to console storage and memory prices increasing more than 2.5x, they have made the decision to increase the price of all Xbox consoles.
The price increase will go into effect beginning August 1st, 2026, and will be as follows:
- Xbox Series S 512GB - $499.99 (Previously $399.99)
- Xbox Series S 1TB - $599.99 (Previously $449.99)
- Xbox Series X 1TB Digital - $749.99 (Previously $599.99)
- Xbox Series X 1TB - $799.99 (Previously $649.99)
Along with this increase, the Xbox Team also announced a new Buy Now and Pay Later option with interest free financing for the first 12 months. Certified Refurbished Consoles will also be available with up to $100 off the price of a new unit.
