Xbox Series S India Price Hiked Again, Now Starts At ₹37,990

According to reports, the price of the Xbox Series S consoles will increase in India. The new-generation gaming console from Microsoft now has a starting price of ₹37,990. This is a price increase of about 8.5 percent over the Series S initial launch price of ₹34,990. The increase went into effect on August 6 and appears to be related to the Indian Rupee’s (INR) depreciation versus the US Dollar (USD).
