It may be a good idea to buy an Xbox Series X, soon the console is set to receive another price increase in the US early next month.
Xbox’s official support website announced the upcoming change, accompanied by a PDF that breaks down price increases that will affect the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S models from October 3, 2025.
Price changes are as follows:

The Xbox Series C consoles receive the mildest price increases, but the Xbox Series X consoles have been hit hardest. Even Xbox Series X Digital Edition and Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Special Edition feel the burning with huge $ 50 and $ 70 hiking.
Xbox’s support page explains that price increases are “due to changes in the macroeconomic environment” in the United States, which may refer to the import tariffs introduced by the country’s current administration.
Otherwise, Xbox added: “We understand that these changes are challenging and they were made with careful consideration. When we look ahead, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play multiple games across any screen and add value to Xbox players.”
The Xbox Series X will be a particularly hard sale now as its new price point is only $ 50 shy for PS5 Pro’s $ 699.99. In comparison, Sony’s console offers increased performance over the Base PlayStation 5 and current Xbox consoles, and therefore it may be the one who chooses in the future if you have cash and are on the market for a powerful power-gene system.
These latest price increases are exclusive to the United States for now without immediate plans for more increases to hit other markets such as UK, Europe and Australia.
