It’s been quite the eventful week already for Xbox fans. Today though, I have some good news to share. The Xbox Series S will be receiving a price drop in Brazil following backlash to a recent price rise.
Xboxhit the headlines yesterday after users began experiencing a new error message, warning them thatunauthorised third party controllers would be bannedas soon as 12 November. You can see why this has caused so much upset. If you’ve spent money on a third-party accessory, it’s no use if that accessory becomes redundant. It’s particularly worrisome to Xbox users in the fighting game community - which utilises specialised controllers perhaps more so than other genres - as well as disabled gamers using third-party accessible devices. Alongside this news though,Xbox Series Sprices were increased in Brazil but that decision has thankfully been reversed.
Take a look at the latest Xbox Series S below.

Thankfully, the decision appears to have been reversed. The Brazilian Xbox store is now displaying the original price of R$2,649.00. Before the console reverted back to its original price, Xbox reportedly put out the following statement (viaInsider Gaming): “On Xbox, we remain focused on delivering the best gaming experience across multiple price ranges, so players can choose the one that best suits their needs and game budget. In the coming weeks, we will begin reporting price adjustments for Xbox Series S consoles in Brazil.”
It was only the Series S model that was seemingly due to rise in price and honestly, the whole debacle is slightly bizarre. I’m not sure what Microsoft was thinking but at least we don’t have to ponder that thought any longer.
