The memory crisis is hitting XBOX too

Microsoft has announced that it will raise prices for consoles worldwide starting August 1st.Versions with a 512 GB drive will rise in price by $100, and models with 1 TB will go up by $150.At the same time, the company is discontinuing the production of the Xbox Series X 2 TB.

The reason is said to be a sharp increase in prices for memory and storage devices: their cost has already increased by more than 2.5 times, and by the end of 2027 it may increase even more.

To soften the blow at least a little, Microsoft is expanding installment programs, sales of refurbished consoles and trade-ins.True, against the backdrop of the $800 price tag for a regular Xbox Series X, all this sounds extremely sad. #game
