It also noted that, despite Sony’s price hike, the “Xbox Series S suggested retail price remains from £249.99 and the Xbox Series X is from £449.99.”
Following Sony’s announcement that it will be raising the price of PlayStation 5 in select countries, Microsoft has responded to the news, merely noting that existing Xbox Series X/S prices remain the same.
Sony announced it would be increasing the cost of PlayStation 5 – in response to “high global inflation rates, as well as adverse currency trends” – earlier today, with the price hike impacting most markets around the world, effective immediately.
In response to requests for comment following today’s PS5 news, Microsoft shared its own statement to Eurogamer, saying, “We are constantly evaluating our business to offer our fans great gaming options.”
