Xbox Console Prices Increase by Up to €200 in the EU and UK
Microsoft has revealed price increases for Xbox consoles in the EU and UK, with cost bumps reaching up to €200 or £170 depending on the model.
Microsoft has detailed significant price increases for its Xbox console line across the European Union and the United Kingdom, expanding on an initial rate hike announcement made earlier this year.
When Microsoft originally announced its latest round of Xbox price bumps in June, the company disclosed revised pricing solely for the United States market. Updated figures have now confirmed the explicit price adjustments scheduled for consumers across European and British retail markets.
Depending on the specific console model, Xbox prices in these regions are increasing by up to €200 or £170. The newly disclosed figures mark a dramatic shift in hardware costs for buyers in the impacted territories.
Among the hardware models affected by the revised rate schedule is the 1TB Xbox Series X console equipped with a disc drive. The newly released details provide international customers with full pricing visibility following the initial US-only announcement.
