Xbox prices surge in Europe and UK, up to 43%
TL;DR Summary
Microsoft is raising Xbox prices across the US, Europe and the UK, with Europe and the UK seeing steeper hikes. In Europe, the Xbox Series S 512GB jumps from €349 to €499 (about 43%), the 1TB Series S to €599, and the Series X Digital and Disc editions to €749 and €800 respectively. UK prices rise to £429.99 (Series S 512GB), £519.99 (Series S 1TB), £619.99 (Series X Digital), and £669.99 (Series X Disc). US prices also increase. The changes are attributed to a memory-cost crisis affecting GDDR6 components amid rising demand, and retailers may add extra charges. The timing coincides with GTA VI expectations and ongoing supply dynamics.
