Polygon has reached out to Microsoft reps for further information on the pricing increases. In addition, effective August 1, Microsoft will boost the price of the Xbox Series X in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. According to a Microsoft representative, the corporation “adjusted the prices to reflect the competitive conditions in each market.”

The price changes imply that a Series X will cost £479.99 in the United Kingdom, €549.99 in some European Union markets, and AUD $799.99 in Australia. The contract is up for renewal.

The price increases are in keeping with revisions made to Sony’s PlayStation Plus subscription line a year ago, as well as Sony’s plan to boost the price of the PlayStation 5 in some key regions but not the United States in August 2022.

However, in October, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer told a Wall Street Journal conference, “We’ve held our price on our console, we’ve held our price on games, and we’ve held our price on our subscription.” “I don’t think we’ll be able to do that indefinitely.”
