Microsoft is raising prices for the Xbox console and its games, forcing consumers to pay $100 extra for the Xbox Series X and up to $80 for upcoming first-party titles. The Xbox Series X now starts at $599. The new price already appears on Microsoft.com and some retailer sites, though others are still selling Xbox consoles at their original prices, so you may want to buy right now if you'd been eyeing a new Xbox."We understand that these changes are challenging, and they were made with careful consideration given market conditions and the rising cost of development," Microsoft said on a support page.It's no secret that Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods are causing many vendors to consider price increases to offset import costs. Chinese-made consoles, including the Xbox, currently face a 145% tariff. Microsoft declined to comment on whether the tariffs contributed to the price hike.Recommended by Our EditorsOn the game front, Microsoft says it expects "to adjust the pricing of some of our new, first-party games starting this holiday season to $79.99."
