Xbox Unveils New 25th-Anniversary Edition Xbox Series X Based On Original Xbox–And It’s Gonna Be Pricey
Overview & Key Takeaways
Microsoft announced new 25th-anniversary edition Xbox Series X model--aptly dubbed the Xbox Series X25--and a matching Xbox Wireless Controller during the Xbox Games Showcase.
Pricing was not announced, but it's expected the system will cost a pretty penny given its special design and the global macroeconomic environment that's driving up prices on most products these days.
The console and controller both sport translucent "OG Green" chassis emblazoned with "X25" logos. The new Xbox Wireless controller X25 Special Edition also features glossy, colored face buttons and the bumpers are now white and black in an homage to the classic Duke gamepad's colorful inputs.

The console includes 1TB of storage, and in a nod to the original Xbox, the "X" lights up green when you power it on.
The devices launch in November and will be available in a bundle that includes the console and controller. The controller will also be available separately. Xbox says preorder information will be shared at a later date.
As mentioned, 2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Xbox, and Microsoft said the company has even more announcements to come regarding further celebrations.
