These price increases aren't particularly surprising though, as Xbox head Phil Spencer did say last year that he knows that they couldn't stick with the prices they have currently forever. We did actually review the Xbox Series X back when it launched, so if you're primarily a PC gamer wondering if you should get one, especially with the price hike in mind, you might want to take a look to see if it's worth it. "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 head of communications for Xbox Kari Perez in a statement provided to The Verge. The Xbox Series S is staying the same cost everywhere, though. Here in the UK the console will be increasing in price from £450 to £480, with most of Europe seeing it rise from €500 to €550. Something that affects PC players even less is the fact that the cost of the Xbox Series X is also going up in August, in all countries except from the US, Japan, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia. These price increases also won't come into effect until August 13 if you're currently subscribed to Xbox Game Pass or Ultimate. It should be noted that Xbox Cloud Gaming is only available if you have an Ultimate subscription, so if you're a PC player that does play some games through the cloud, you might still be affected.
