NEW YORK — As new tariffs continue to strain global supply chains, some gamers are already feeling price hikes.

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.

“We understand that these changes are challenging,” Microsoft wrote in an Xbox support update Thursday. The tech giant didn’t mention tariffs specifically but cited wider “market conditions and the rising cost of development.”

Beyond the U.S., Microsoft also laid out Xbox price adjustments for Europe, the U.K. and Australia. The company said other countries would receive updates locally.

Some Xbox accessories, including wireless controllers, are affected too — as well as headsets in the U.S. and Canada. And further down the road, Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said it expects to make some of its new, first-party games more expensive this holiday season — with a price tag of $79.99.

Xbox players aren’t the first gamers to feel impacts amid these trade wars.

Last month, Sony raised its recommended retail pricing for PlayStation 5 consoles in select markets — including countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as Australia and New Zealand. At the time, the company cited “a challenging economic environment, including high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates.”

Preorders for Nintendo’s anticipated Switch 2 were delayed in April as retailers assessed the potential impact of tariffs. Nintendo later said some Switch 2 accessories would see price adjustments — but maintained that its previously announced baseline price for the console, $449.99, would remain the same. That starting price is higher than the original Switch’s $299 price tag.
