Microsoft, which previously stated it would not follow Sony to raise the price of gaming consoles, finally changed the word recently. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer revealed that both the console Xbox Series and Xbox Game Passes are available. It can increase.
The price cannot stay the same
In the interview, Spencer admitted that at some point Microsoft had to raise the price of some products, but it is very important to keep the price unchanged in these winter holidays. He also claimed to have stabilized the prices of consoles, games and subscription services, but believes that the price of the products cannot be held forever. Although Spencer did not indicate a plan or timetable for the price increase, in August and September he said that Microsoft had no plans to increase the price of the Xbox Series X / S and now his attitude has clearly changed.
Microsoft has said it has no plans to raise prices
On August 25, Sony announced a price hike for PS5 consoles around the world due to rising global inflation and changes in exchange rates. The above issues have not improved in the past couple of months, and some technology products and services have raised their prices.It is temporarily unknown how long the Xbox Series and Game Pass service rates will remain unchanged.
