Microsoft Corp. is raising prices on its Xbox games, consoles and accessories amid broader uncertainty about how the ongoing trade war will impact supply chains and the gaming industry.
The company’s Xbox Series S 512GB console will cost $380, an increase of $80. The more powerful Series X console will sell for $600, a jump of $100. Controller and headset prices are also increasing. The price increases are global and come two weeks after rival Sony Group Corp. hiked pricing for its PlayStation 5 across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, citing inflation and a tough economic environment.
