"In an Xbox Support post, Microsoft cited the now-standard "changes in the macroeconomic environment" for the decision to move pricing yet again. "We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration," the company wrote. "Looking ahead, we continue to focus on offering more ways to play more games across any screen and providing value for Xbox players.""
"The new Xbox price hikes, which will go into effect on October 3, or roughly five months after the last set of Xbox price hikes, are as follows: Xbox Series S 512GB: $400 (up from $380 in May / launched at $300 in 2020) Xbox Series S 1TB: $450 (up from $430 in May / launched at $350 in 2023) Xbox Series X Digital: $600 (from $550 in May / launched at $450 in 2024)"

Microsoft attributed the changes to shifts in the macroeconomic environment and said the decisions were made with careful consideration.
