On August 2, Microsoft Japan announced that it will increase the price of Xbox Series X|S consoles in Japan. The new price is expected to take effect on August 15. The increased price is as follows:

· Xbox Series X: 59,978 yen → 66,978 yen

· Xbox Series S 1TB: 44,578 → 49,978 yen

· Xbox Series S 512GB: 37,978 yen → 44,578 yen


The price of Xbox Series X has increased by 7,000 yen, the price of Xbox Series S 1TB has increased by 5,400 yen, and the price of Xbox Series S 512GB has increased by 6,600 yen. This price increase only applies to Japan, and the main reason may be the recent depreciation of the yen.

It is worth mentioning that the price of Xbox consoles in Japan increased once in early 2023, when all versions increased by 5,000 yen. Microsoft Japan said at the time that this was a difficult decision made after carefully evaluating the situation in the Japanese market.
