The short answer is: nobody knows the exact price of the next Xbox yet, but most credible chatter puts it well above current Series X/S pricing, with a lot of speculation in the 600–1,000+ USD range, and some “premium” predictions going higher.

What’s known right now

  • Microsoft has not officially revealed a next‑gen Xbox price yet, only current‑gen Series X|S pricing and recent price hikes.
  • Current Series X in the U.S. is around 649.99 USD new, with higher prices for special editions like the 2TB Galaxy Black model at 799.99 USD.
  • Recent reports highlight memory and component cost spikes, which have already pushed Series X/S prices up and suggest future hardware could be even more expensive.

Insider rumors and projections

  • Some industry watchers and leakers talk about a “premium, high‑end” next Xbox, arguing that if it targets powerful PC‑like performance, it could easily land around or above 1,000 USD.
  • Forum and social posts often repeat ranges like 600–1,200 USD, with a few going as high as 1,500 USD for a top‑tier version, but those are speculative estimates, not leaks of final MSRP.
  • A common line of reasoning: if component totals approach high‑end PC costs, Microsoft either sells near cost (lower price, less profit) or prices it higher and markets it as a luxury device.

Likely price range , not a number

  • Given current Series X at roughly 650–800 USD depending on edition, a next‑gen box that is more powerful and marketed as a premium console is unlikely to be cheaper than that.
  • Many analysts see two plausible tracks:
    • A “flagship” model closer to 900–1,200 USD.
* A cheaper or digital‑only model to keep an entry point nearer today’s high‑end console prices.
  • Until Microsoft actually announces specs and MSRP, any exact figure (“it will cost X dollars”) is still an educated guess, not confirmed fact.

How to read the rumors

  • Treat 600–800 USD predictions as “aggressive but plausible” if Microsoft wants to stay closer to traditional console pricing.
  • Treat 1,000–1,200+ USD predictions as “premium PC‑replacement” scenarios; they match the tone of some insider commentary but would be a big psychological jump for many console buyers.
  • Watch for official events and hardware reveals; the real answer only arrives when Microsoft publicly locks in specs and price.

Bottom line: expect the “new Xbox” to cost more than today’s Series X, possibly much more, but be skeptical of any exact number until it comes from Microsoft.
