The news came a little earlier today: Sony has announced that it will increase the retail price of its PS5. In fact, the company clarified that economic pressures and current inflation motivated this decision. We’re talking about a nearly 10% increase in the console, which is still hard to come by today. Of course, if the reasons given are valid, they could also apply to Xbox.
Windows headquarters received feedback from a representative of the brand on this topic. At the moment, There are no plans for the brand to reprice the Xbox Series X and S regardless of currency.
We’re constantly evaluating our store to bring great gaming options to our fans. Our suggested retail price for the Xbox Series S remains at $299 (£250, $300); The Xbox Series X costs $499 (£450, $500).
Of course, this does not guarantee that it will remain so in the future. However, there should be no short-term changes. With its motivation to gain market share, Microsoft has every interest in maintaining a difference in its favour. After all, the company suffered one in the Xbox One era that did it a lot of damage.
