Microsoft Confirms No Price Increase for Xbox Series X and S

For example in the UK, the PS5 with a disc drive will now cost £479.99, up from £449.99 and the Digital Edition costs £389.99, up from £359.99.

Sony isn’t the only hardware manufacturer to increase the price of its system as a result of the global economy. Meta announced earlier this year that it will increase the price of its popular Meta Quest 2 VR headset by $100.

Experts say that the global supply chain is still under stress leading to these price increases. Though Ampere Analysis’ Piers Harding-Rolls suggests Sony might not be impacted by the price bump due to continued demand.

The supply chain has been under stress since nearly the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and has been exasperated by the global economy as well as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
