- The United States will receive another round of price increases from the Xbox console
- They will enter into force as of October 3, 2025
- Microsoft cites “changes in the macroeconomic environment”
You may want to buy an Xbox X X series soon, since the console will receive another price increase in the United States at the beginning of next month.
The official Xbox support website announced the next change, accompanied by a PDF that breaks the price increases that will affect the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S models of October 3, 2025.
Price changes are as follows:
|
Product |
Previous price |
New price (as of October 3) |

Xbox S series (512GB) |
$ 379.99 |
$ 399.99 |
|
Xbox S series (1TB) |
$ 429.99 |
$ 449.99 |
|
Xbox X series |
$ 599.99 |
$ 649.99 |
|

$ 549.99 |
$ 599.99 |
|
Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition (2TB) |
$ 729.99 |
$ 799.99 |
Xbox S series consoles will receive the softest price increases, but Xbox Series X consoles have been more affected. Even the Xbox Series X Digital Edition and Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition are feeling the burn, with huge walks of $ 50 and $ 70 respectively.
The Xbox support page explains that price increases are “due to changes in the macroeconomic environment” in the USA., Which can refer to import rates established by the current administration of the country.
Otherwise, Xbox added: “We understand that these changes are challenging and were made with careful consideration. Looking towards the future, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games on any screen and provide value for Xbox players.”
The Xbox X X series will be a especially difficult sale now, since its new price is only $ 50 less than the $ 699.99 of PS5 Pro. The Sony console, compared, offers a higher performance on the PlayStation 5 base and current Xbox consoles, and therefore it can be the one you should choose in the future if it has the cash and is looking for a powerful current generation system.
These last price increases are exclusive to the United States for now, without immediate plans for more increases to reach other markets such as the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.
