Microsoft raises Xbox prices in the US due to tariffs and rising costs

Microsoft is increasing Xbox console prices in the U.S. again due to ongoing tariff challenges and rising costs. The 1TB Series S will now cost around $450 and the Series X around $650, effective October 3. This follows a previous price hike in May. These increases, attributed to macroeconomic changes and trade pressures, come as the gaming industry faces potential slowdowns from title delays and other price adjustments.
