Gaming is about to get a lot more expensive — at least for Xbox fans. Effective May 1, Microsoft is increasing the price of Xbox consoles and controllers, and not by an insignificant amount:  The Xbox Series S 512GB,

The Series X and Series S are available starting at $273.99 and $449.99, respectively.

Microsoft raised recommended retailer pricing for its Xbox consoles and controllers around the world this week. Its Xbox Series S, for example, now starts at $379.99 in the U.S. — up $80 from the $299.99 price tag that debuted in 2020. And its more powerful Xbox Series X will be $599.99 going forward, a $100 jump from its previous $499.99 listing.
