Microsoft has released a statement in response to Sony’s decision to raise the price of the PlayStation 5. Following Sony’s announcement, some wondered if Microsoft might follow suit and raises prices to mitigate the supply chain and logistical issues that have driven up production costs. That’s not happening.
Microsoft said in a statement to GameSpot, “We are constantly evaluating our business to offer our fans great gaming options.” However, the company is not planning to raise prices, at least not right now.
The company’s statement went on to say that the existing US MSRPs for the Series S ($300 USD) and Series X ($400) will remain in place. Whether or not this could change in the future is anyone’s guess.
