The XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition video game console is being released by the brand as an anniversary model that marks 25 years of the gaming console.
The unit starts off with a translucent green casing design that pays homage to the hardware's past and its original green branding that was part of its beginnings. The console will come with 1TB of storage and will come with the XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition, which will also be available for purchase separately. The controller will also nod to the past with an X button that illuminates green, while also featuring the original ABXY button colors.
The XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition video game console will go on sale November 2026 to formally coincide with the release date of the original console in 2001.
