We\u2019ve gathered all the info you need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Xbox Series X has been on the market since late 2020 and established itself as one of the most powerful consoles of its generation. But now it\u2019s 2026 \u2013 and many of you are wondering: should you still pick up a Series X, or wait for the next generation (<a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/en\/games-en\/xbox-next\/\">Xbox Next<\/a>)? Let\u2019s take a step-by-step look at performance, games, pricing, and what the future holds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hardware-amp-performance-still-high-end\">Hardware &amp; Performance: Still High-End?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in 2026, the hardware of the Xbox Series X remains impressive. You still get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Native 4K resolution in many games<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frame rates up to 120 FPS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ray tracing and Auto HDR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fast load times thanks to NVMe SSD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The console comes in several versions, including the standard model with Blu-Ray drive, a digital-only edition, and special editions like the \u201cGalaxy Black Special Edition\u201d with 2 TB SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to current consoles, the Series X is still at the top when it comes to overall performance and graphical quality. Of course, a high-end PC GPU is stronger, but in the console space the Series X, alongside the PlayStation 5, remains a powerhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-b5cc746b-4a74-4e28-a3dc-789d6bdd1cf5 advgb-list advgb-list-admin-post\">\n<li><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> Sony has also announced its next-gen console. The <a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/en\/games-en\/playstation-6-all-info-on-release-specs-price-and-sonys-strategy\/\">PlayStation 6<\/a> is expected to launch around 2027.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpbf-responsive-embed\"><iframe title=\"Xbox Series X - World Premiere - 4K Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0tUqIHwHDEc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pricing-amp-deals-in-2026\">Pricing &amp; Deals in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to price, things have shifted quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Series X (1 TB, with disc drive):<\/strong> Around \u20ac550 to \u20ac599<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digital Edition:<\/strong> Around \u20ac500<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Series S:<\/strong> Around \u20ac300<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Deals and bundles often make it cheaper. The used market in 2026 is also worth a look: with the next generation approaching, prices are dropping, so you can often grab a second-hand console for \u20ac100\u2013200 less. If you don\u2019t mind minor wear, you\u2019ll save quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-microsoft-raised-xbox-prices-again-in-us-market\">Microsoft raised Xbox prices again in US market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft in the United States increased the price for its Xbox Consoles last Year. The price hike affects both the Xbox Series S and the more powerful Xbox Series X models, with increases ranging from $20 to $70, representing a 5 to 10 percent jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Xbox Series S will now cost $329, up from its current price of $299. The Xbox Series X will see its price rise from $499 to between $549 and $569, depending on retailer recommendations. Microsoft attributes these changes to &#8220;shifts in the macroeconomic environment,&#8221; likely referring to new import tariffs in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price adjustment only applies to the US market, with other regions maintaining their current pricing. Additionally, the increase affects only the consoles themselves\u2014accessories like controllers and headsets will keep their existing price points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For US customers, this marks the second price increase in just a few months, following a global price adjustment that occurred in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-games-amp-game-pass-still-plenty-of-content\">Games &amp; Game Pass: Still Plenty of Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardware is one thing \u2013 but games are what really matter. And 2026 looks very strong here as well. Microsoft continues to push Xbox Game Pass as a major selling point: hundreds of games for a monthly fee, including brand-new releases. Last Year there were some special Releases as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Highlights of 2025 were:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/en\/games-en\/borderlands-4-details\/\">Borderlands 4<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/en\/games-en\/hollow-knight-silksong-all-details\/\">Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hell is Us<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plenty of remasters, action blockbusters, and next-gen optimized titles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So support for current and upcoming games is secured. You don\u2019t have to worry about running out of fresh content after buying a Series X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpbf-responsive-embed\"><iframe title=\"Game Pass - It&#039;s the Journey\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N3BO_iNX8mM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-ahead-xbox-next-as-the-better-alternative\">Looking Ahead: Xbox Next as the Better Alternative?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A key factor in your decision is of course the upcoming next generation. According to leaks and rumors, Microsoft is planning a new console around 2027 with the following specs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Zen 6 CPU, RDNA 5 GPU<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance on par with an RTX 5080 \u2013 roughly 50% more power than the Series X<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24\u201332 GB RAM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expected price between $600\u2013800<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possibly a new modular design concept<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-295baf1a-b7a0-47d4-b423-7fc5f71c8122 advgb-list advgb-list-controls-play\">\n<li><strong>Important:<\/strong> None of this has been officially confirmed. What is clear, however, is that the leap will be noticeable but not revolutionary. So don\u2019t expect a \u201cnext-gen shock.\u201d The new console will also be significantly more expensive, making the Series X a very solid value right now.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-should-still-buy-the-series-x\">Who Should Still Buy the Series X?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer depends a bit on what type of gamer you are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You want to enjoy current games right now in top console quality?<\/strong><br>\u2192 Get the Series X.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You don\u2019t own a console yet and want an all-in-one device (gaming, apps, streaming, Blu-Ray)?<\/strong><br>\u2192 Also makes sense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You care about price-performance and cheap access to Game Pass?<\/strong><br>\u2192 In 2026, the Series X has dropped in price and is very attractive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You\u2019re a hardcore tech enthusiast and only want the very latest hardware?<\/strong><br>\u2192 Waiting for the Xbox Next might be worth it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after Xbox Next launches, the Series X won\u2019t be shut down right away. Historically, Microsoft supports older consoles for years \u2013 so you\u2019ll have peace of mind for the long run. Even games released in 2027 will most likely remain backwards compatible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xbox-Next-Infos-Release.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xbox-Next-Infos-Release-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"A blueprint of the new Xbox showing the built-in hardware.\" class=\"wp-image-61472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xbox-Next-Infos-Release-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xbox-Next-Infos-Release-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xbox-Next-Infos-Release-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xbox-Next-Infos-Release-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/space4games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Xbox-Next-Infos-Release.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">First details and rumors about the new Xbox Next are known. \u00a9 Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-buying-used-yes-or-no\">Buying Used \u2013 Yes or No?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The used market is a real argument in 2026. With anticipation building for the \u201cXbox Next,\u201d many players are selling their Series X. If you stick to reliable sellers (retailers with warranty or platforms with buyer protection), you can get excellent value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-is-the-xbox-series-x-still-worth-it-in-2026\">Conclusion: Is the Xbox Series X Still Worth It in 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line: <strong>Yes, the Xbox Series X is still worth it in 2026.<\/strong> It remains one of the most powerful consoles on the market, continues to receive brand-new titles, offers an excellent ecosystem with Game Pass, and has become more attractive thanks to falling prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waiting only makes sense if you\u2019re set on the next big leap in hardware and are ready to spend $600 to 800 or more for the Xbox Next. For everyone else, the Series X remains a top choice \u2013 whether as your first console, an upgrade from an older Xbox, or as a complement to a gaming PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-b5cc746b-4a74-4e28-a3dc-789d6bdd1cf5 > li{font-size:16px;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-b5cc746b-4a74-4e28-a3dc-789d6bdd1cf5 > li{padding-left:22px;margin-left:0;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-b5cc746b-4a74-4e28-a3dc-789d6bdd1cf5 > li:before{font-size:20px;color:#0693e3;line-height:18px;margin:2px;padding:2px;margin-left:-24px}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-295baf1a-b7a0-47d4-b423-7fc5f71c8122 > li{font-size:16px;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-295baf1a-b7a0-47d4-b423-7fc5f71c8122 > li{padding-left:22px;margin-left:0;}.wp-block-advgb-list ul.advgblist-295baf1a-b7a0-47d4-b423-7fc5f71c8122 > li:before{font-size:20px;color:#0693e3;line-height:18px;margin:2px;padding:2px;margin-left:-24px}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Microsoft announcing the Xbox Next, the question is coming up more often: is it still worth buying an Xbox Series X?
