Look, I’m not even going to candy coat this, so it’s probably a good thing this isn’t YouTube. We, gamers, are basically fucked. We’ve had to deal with several price hikes across console and PC hardware, and now here’s another one, with Xbox revealing that it is raising the prices for its Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Starting on August 1, 2026, here are the new price points, in case you were looking to pick up an Xbox console.
On top of that, Xbox is phasing out the 2TB Xbox Series X, because storage is getting as pricey as RAM, so it apparently makes no sense to sell a larger-sized console anymore.
As for that Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition that’s going to be released later this year, I don’t even want to think about how much that’s going to be priced. It’s already hard enough falling asleep.
Honestly, I’m just going to say what everyone has been thinking. Xbox consoles have not been selling well for one reason or another, and now Xbox is raising the prices again? How do they expect to sell any of these when they are now sitting in the same price...
