Is there an Xbox Series X price drop?
There is no Xbox Series X price drop: as of October 28, 2026, Microsoft has announced no US price cut, and its three US price changes since the $499 launch were all increases, the latest on August 1, 2026. VoltVault has the Xbox Series X 1TB with a disc drive in stock at $379 USD: open-box, never used, with free tracked shipping from Utah, USA and 30-day returns.

Why there is no Series X price drop
The last price news from Microsoft was a rise, not a cut. On Xbox Wire on June 25, 2026, Microsoft wrote: "Effective August 1, 2026, we will be updating prices worldwide." The reason it gave was that "console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x." That post announced no lower price for any Xbox console, and on October 28, 2026 we found no later Xbox Wire post announcing a US price cut. Xbox Series X price increase dates lists every US change with its date.
Why you still see "price drop" headlines
When we searched "xbox series x price drop" on October 28, 2026, the top stories were about price rises, not cuts. A limited-time sale at a store is a promotion that ends; it is not a lower Microsoft price. If Microsoft cuts the Series X price, it will say so on Xbox Wire, and we will update this page.
Waiting for a cut, or buying now
- Waiting: Microsoft has not announced a cut, so there is no date to wait for. We do not guess at one.
- Buying now: VoltVault's Series X 1TB with a disc drive is $379 USD, open-box and never used. That is under the $499 launch price Microsoft gave on Xbox Wire, September 9, 2020.
- Open-box, never used means the box has been opened, so we do not sell it as factory-sealed, but nobody has used the console. It is not refurbished.
- The Xbox Series X listing always shows our live price. How much is the Xbox Series X? covers what each Series X model costs.

No. As of October 28, 2026, Microsoft has announced no US price cut for the Xbox Series X. VoltVault has the 1TB disc model in stock, open-box and never used, at $379 USD.
Did the Xbox Series X price go down in 2026?
No. Microsoft's 2026 US price change went the other way: it announced on June 25, 2026 that new console prices would take effect on August 1, 2026, and they were higher.
Will the Xbox Series X price drop?
Microsoft has not announced one, and we do not forecast prices. Microsoft posts its console price changes on Xbox Wire; its latest US notice we found on October 28, 2026 is the June 25, 2026 post.
What did the Xbox Series X cost at launch?
$499 in the US when it launched on November 10, 2020 (Xbox Wire, September 9, 2020). VoltVault's open-box, never used Series X 1TB is $379 USD.
Is a holiday sale the same as a price drop?
No. A limited-time sale is a store promotion, and the price goes back up afterwards; a price drop changes Microsoft's own price. Microsoft has announced no US price drop for the Series X as of October 28, 2026.
Is the VoltVault Xbox Series X refurbished?
No. It is open-box, never used: the box has been opened, so we do not sell it as factory-sealed, but the console itself has not been used.
