As for the Xbox Series S, its price won't be increased and will remain the same in all markets where it's sold. The new pricing will set the MSRP of the Xbox Series X to £480 in the UK, €550 in several European markets, CAD $650 in Canada, and AUD $800 in Australia as of August 1.

'We've held on our prices for consoles for many years and have adjusted the prices to reflect the competitive conditions in each market,' said Kari Perez, head of communications for Xbox, to The Verge. While the console price will remain the same in the US, Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia, in the rest of the world, the new pricing will see it match the PS5 and its recent global price hike. Microsoft will be increasing the price of its Xbox Series X consoles and Game Pass subscription service across the world.
