The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console starts shipping on November 13, 2026, with a US price of $899.99, according to Xbox Wire. It wears a translucent OG Green finish and comes with a full download of Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Microsoft announced the price and dates on August 26, 2026, and pre-orders opened to everyone in select markets on August 27 at 7 a.m. PDT. Xbox says the sale is limited to one 25th anniversary collection per customer and runs while supplies last, so stock is the thing to check before launch day.
What is the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition?
It is a limited run of the Xbox Series X made for the platform’s 25th anniversary. Xbox Wire and other outlets list these details:
- Finish: translucent OG Green, with tributes hidden in the hardware
- Numbering: every console carries its own unique engraving
- In the box: the X25 controller, according to PureXbox
- Game: a full download of Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the original Halo campaign
- Storage, processor and memory: not stated in the announcement
The announcement does not give internal specs, so we cannot say whether anything inside differs from a standard Series X. Until Microsoft says more, think of it as a collector’s version of a console you can already buy.
What is the X25 Special Edition controller?
The Xbox X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller uses the same translucent OG Green look, with design details that nod to Xbox history. It is sold separately from the console, and pre-orders opened on August 26, 2026 in select markets.
Xbox Wire gives October 20 as the controller’s launch date, which is earlier than the console’s. If you want the look without buying a new console, the controller is the cheaper way in. Whether your local store still lists it is worth a quick check, since pre-orders were limited to select markets.
Prices
Xbox lists $899.99 as the US MSRP for the console. PureXbox reports prices for other markets too:
| Item | US | UK | Eurozone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Console | $899.99 | £759.99 | Not stated |
| Controller | $79.99 | £74.99 | €79.99 |
The UK and Eurozone figures come from PureXbox, while Xbox Wire itself leads with the US dollar price. Xbox adds that pricing varies by market and tells readers to check their local Microsoft Store or an authorized retailer. It does not name the “select markets” where the console is sold, nor the participating retailers. For context, Thurrott notes that the original Xbox Series X launched at $500 in November 2020, and says the new price matches the PlayStation 5 Pro.
Who it suits
Collectors and longtime Xbox fans. The translucent green finish, the individual numbering and the 25th anniversary branding are the whole point. If those matter to you, the limited run and the one per customer cap are reasons to act quickly.
Players who want a new console to play on. This is the Series X family with a premium attached, and Xbox has not published storage or any hardware change. If you only want to play, check the standard Series X price in your market first and see whether the Halo: Campaign Evolved download is worth the difference to you.
Buyers who only want the look. The $79.99 controller (US price) gives you the translucent styling for far less, and it works as a spare pad on a console you already own.
Readers outside the US, UK and Eurozone. The sources do not name other markets or prices. Do not assume the Halo download or the price carries over, because Thurrott’s report states the free game for the US only.
What should you do next?
Open the Xbox console page or your local Microsoft Store listing to see whether pre-orders or stock remain in your country, and confirm the price in your own currency before you pay. The official announcement is on Xbox Wire.
