Summary
Microsoft has announced significant price increases for Xbox Series X and S consoles, effective August 1, 2026, citing an ongoing components crisis. Prices will rise by $100 for 512GB models and $150 for 1TB models, while the 2TB model will be discontinued entirely. The company had previously raised prices in October 2025 by $20-$70 in the U.S. and had hoped to avoid further increases, but rising storage and memory component costs have forced this decision.
