Starting August 1, 2026, Microsoft will raise Xbox prices: 512 GB models by $100, 1 TB models by $150, and discontinue the 2 TB Series X. New prices: Series S from $499.99; Series X (no disc) from $749.99; Series X (with disc) from $799.99.

This change does not mark the first Xbox price increase. Last October, Microsoft already raised prices by $20 to $70. Microsoft representatives say they hoped to avoid another round of increases.

As a compromise, Microsoft plans to introduce new purchase options. These options include installment plans and interest-free financing. Microsoft also works with retail partners. The goal focuses on official sales programs for pre owned consoles at lower prices.
