Prices for the Xbox Series X and Series S in the United States are set to increase starting tomorrow, October 3, 2025. Today marks the final opportunity for consumers to purchase an Xbox Series S at the current price of $379.99, with further discounts available, including a sale price of $329.99 at Amazon. The 1TB model is priced at $429.99, while a $20 increase looms for both models. The Xbox Series X Digital Edition is available for $549.99, and the standard 1TB model for $599.99, each facing a $50 price hike. Additionally, the Xbox Series X 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition can be acquired for $799.99 before a $70 increase takes effect, reports 24brussels.
The impending price adjustments follow ongoing supply chain disruptions impacting the gaming industry, prompting retailers to manage inventory levels carefully. With demand for gaming consoles remaining high, many consumers are urged to act quickly before the price increases take effect.
Notably, the Xbox Series S offers a compact design that plays digital games at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 QHD. Consumers looking for the highest performance might consider the Xbox Series X, known for its native 4K support and superior processing capabilities. Both consoles support a vast library of games, including titles like Hogwarts Legacy and Assassin’s Creed, accessible via Xbox Game Pass, enhancing their value proposition despite the anticipated price changes.
As the holiday shopping season approaches, retailers may see increased traffic from Xbox enthusiasts eager to secure these consoles before any price adjustments. Industry analysts suggest that the price rise could drive further interest in sales and promotions, particularly during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as gamers seek the best deals available.
For potential buyers, today represents a critical deadline to explore options and finalize purchases to avoid the upcoming price increase.
