Microsoft’s latest Xbox price bumps have been announced for the EU and UK. Depending on the model, prices jump by up to €200 or £170.

The 1TB Xbox Series X with disc drive rises over 30% from £499.99 / €599.99 to £669.99 / €799.99. The 512GB Xbox Series S climbs over 43%, moving from £299.99 / €349.99 to £429.99 / €499.99. These hikes reflect soaring RAM and storage costs driven by AI demand.

This is the third round of increases since May 2025, with the high‑end model now costing $300 more than its 2020 launch price of $499.99. The 2TB model is being retired amid the storage crunch.

Full list of price changes: 512GB S: €349.99 / £299.99 → €499.99 / £429.99; 1TB S: €399.99 / £349.99 → €599.99 / £519.99; 1TB X Digital: €549.99 / £449.99 → €749.99 / £619.99; 1TB X Disc: €599.99 / £499.99 → €799.99 / £669.99.
