Xbox consoles now start at €499.99/£429.99, up from prior US prices. EU customers face 150-200€ increases, while UK buyers pay 130-170£ more for Series S and X models. Specific prices include Series S (512GB): €499.99, Series X: €799.99. UK equivalents are £429.99 and £669.99. These hikes align with Microsoft’s prior warning of storage/memory costs doubling. Sony and Nintendo have also raised prices due to a global RAM crisis. Currency fluctuations mean EU entry-level consoles now roughly equal $575. Microsoft’s June blog noted potential further increases if storage prices rise again.

The price jumps affect multiple models. Series S (1TB) costs €599.99 in Europe vs. lower US rates. Series X Digital (no disc drive) is €749.99 in the EU and £619.99 in the UK. These changes follow Microsoft’s June announcement of $100-150 US hikes. The company attributed costs to rising component prices.

Other console makers are impacted. Sony and Nintendo recently announced their own price increases, citing similar supply chain issues. This trend suggests a broader market shift rather than isolated Xbox adjustments. Consumers may face sustained higher prices as storage and memory costs remain volatile.
