Microsoft has confirmed higher Xbox console prices in the UK and Europe, extending the worldwide price hikes that were announced in late June. The change affects multiple storage variants and means buyers in both regions will pay notably more for new hardware.
According to the reported update, the 512GB Xbox model will rise by £130 in the UK and €150 in Europe. The 1TB version will see an even larger increase, going up by £170 in the UK and €200 in European markets.
The announcement signals that Microsoft is applying its broader global pricing strategy to the UK and Europe after first outlining worldwide increases earlier in the summer. While the available details focus on the size of the jump rather than the full price list, the increases are substantial enough to stand out for anyone planning to buy an Xbox console.
For consumers, the confirmed Xbox price rise in the UK and Europe adds pressure to the cost of entering or upgrading within Microsoft’s console ecosystem. It also underlines how regional pricing for gaming hardware can shift sharply after a wider international adjustment.
