An Xbox Series X price increase has hit Sweden, less than one month after the console saw a price hike in Japan. Following the PS5 price hike, this may not bode well for gamers across other regions.
Microsoft has quietly bumped up the price of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles on its Swedish store (spotted by gamingdeputy). The Xbox Series X price has been increased by an extra SEK500 (approx £40 / $48 / AU$70) now costing Swedish gamers SEK6195. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S has gone up by SKR300 (approx £24 / $29 / AU42).
This comes three weeks after Microsoft announced that Xbox consoles would see a price hike in Japan. Both systems got a 5,000 yen increase (approx £30 / $37 / AU$54) which went into effect on February 17. Microsoft has not commented on whether other price increases will come into effect in other regions.
