Microsoft thinks about a price increase on Xbox, and this is no longer surprising

The escalation of prices in the services offered in the world of technology is, right now, unstoppable. If yesterday it was known that Spotify has this intention and that Apple already did the same a few days ago, now it is the turn of another of the world giants: microsoft. And, in this case, it seems that everything is going to start with your line Xbox.

According to information that comes from an interview given by Phil Spencer, who is nothing less than the person in charge of everything that has to do with Microsoft games (for what he knows about it), the company is quite clear that it has to apply a price increase to what Xbox consoles currently cost and, also, to the services associated with it, such as Game Pass. Come on, a warning to navigators.

It’s just going with the flow on Microsoft’s part.

It has been to see that Apple has taken the step of increasing what it charges for its hardware and services, and it seems that the rest of the companies have decided that they must do exactly the same. And, that, that many of them had not given any sign that this could happen. The point is that Spencer has indicated that currently prices cannot be maintained of what is offered in the Xbox line, and that at some point prices will have to be increased.

And, all this, after confirming that they are not getting bad data in the market. An example is that it indicates that the growth of Game Pass for PC is incredible in his own words (the console itself is more stable, something logical considering the sales park obtained to date that limits a particularly significant advance). Therefore, it seems exactly what we said before: take advantage of the situation.

When will the price increase come?

There is no exact date, but at least Microsoft has had the delicacy to keep everything for this Christmas (sales are sales) and, consequently,sometime in 2023 It will be when everything that has to do with Xbox will have a price increase worldwide. It remains to be seen if Sony follows this path, but we must not forget that the Japanese company has already applied a rise to its PlayStation due to market fluctuations.

There is no data whatsoever on how much the increase will be from Microsoft, but in hardware it would not be unusual for it to reach 20 euros and, in what has to do with services, that two be added… this way follow exactly what Apple did. In short, if you had any idea of ​​getting an Xbox S or X, the next black friday seems like an excellent option to do it. At a later time, think about Christmas, but here the offers are usually not so juicy.
