Xbox to hike console prices in 2026, sunset 2TB model and expand financing options

Microsoft’s Xbox arm announces global price increases effective August 1, 2026: 512GB models up $100 and 1TB models up $150, with the 2TB variant being retired. The rise is driven by surging storage/memory costs amid a components crisis. To ease access, new programs include Buy Now, Pay Later on Microsoft Stores, 0% APR financing via Amazon for eligible hardware, trade-in options with retailers for lower prices, and certified refurbished consoles up to $100 off MSRP, with Xbox Series S highlighted as the most affordable way to play this year’s major titles.

A cancer survivor from Arkansas, who endured Hodgkin lymphoma as a child and a 2022 domestic-violence incident that damaged her teeth, spent about $54,000 on dental implants (financed after partial insurance coverage). Her dramatic post-surgery swelling and bruising went viral, but the finished result restored her smile and confidence after years of hardship.

Dont Nod could face a cash crunch by November without new financing

Dont Nod warns it could run out of cash by November unless it secures new financing; as of April 13, 2026 it had about €8.8 million in cash and has asked Tencent for a short-term capital increase, but Tencent—the largest shareholder—appears not to be interested, while talks with other major players have not yielded a deal. The company restructured around RPG, narrative/adventure and action/adventure and cut staff in 2025, highlighting broader Chinese disinvestment from external studios.

AI’s business reality check: costs soar, ROI lags, and funding gets pricier

Investors are facing four harsh realities about AI’s economics: deploying AI remains costly, returns are not meeting earlier expectations (per a Bain study), infrastructure demand is strong but not as explosive as some forecasts, and financing that infrastructure is likely to stay expensive for longer as rates trend higher—forcing a reevaluation of how quickly AI can translate tech progress into profits.

Meta mulls multibillion-dollar equity raise to back AI infrastructure

Meta Platforms is weighing a multibillion-dollar equity offering to fund its AI infrastructure, per the Financial Times. The discussions have intensified after Alphabet’s upsized equity raise, though Meta has not decided and could still explore other financing options. The move signals a broader tech shift toward funding AI investments via debt and equity rather than cash; Meta has previously tapped debt markets with a bond offering up to $30 billion and raised its annual capex forecast to about $125–$145 billion, with shares slipping around 6% on the FT report.
