Microsoft has announced price increases for all Xbox products, including significant bumps for consoles like the Series X and Series S, which see increases ranging from $100 to $80. Controllers and accessories have also seen price hikes of up to $40. Most notably, first-party titles are rising from $70 to $80. Despite these changes, the Game Pass service's pricing remains stable. Microsoft attributes these increases to market conditions and rising development costs, yet the timing aligns with recent price hikes from competitors like Nintendo, causing speculation about opportunism.
Microsoft is raising prices on all Xbox products, including consoles, controllers, accessories, and first-party titles, citing market conditions and development costs.
The Xbox Series X sees a $100 increase, while the Series S increases by around $80. Controllers now cost $5 to $40 more.
New first-party titles will increase from $70 to $80 starting this holiday season, but Game Pass prices remain unchanged.
Microsoft's global price hike appears opportunistic, particularly following Nintendo's recent price adjustments of its own.
