The first Xbox console launched in November 2001, marking a quarter-century of the gaming platform's history.
Xbox Series X25 is a limited edition of the existing Xbox Series X console, not a next-generation Xbox console.
Reports indicate that the next-generation Xbox console, codenamed Project Helix, is likely to launch in 2027.
The console is expected to offer PC-like capabilities and run the Windows 11 operating system, with AMD as its development partner.
Comes in OG Green, a Tribute to the First Xbox Console
The Xbox Series X25 features a striking design, adopting a distinctive translucent green color called "OG Green," reminiscent of the appearance of the first-generation Xbox console.
This marks the first time a transparent design has been applied to the Xbox Series X.
The console also features an "X" logo that glows green when activated, paying homage to the original Xbox startup screen.
A 25th-anniversary logo is also embedded on the front of the console, while the rear and battery door of the controller are also transparent, featuring the classic Xbox logo.
Similar to Standard Xbox Series X
Despite its aesthetic differences, the Xbox Series X25's technical specifications are identical to the standard Xbox Series X.
This special edition console still features 1TB of internal storage, ensuring the same performance and power as the current Xbox Series X model.
In conjunction with the console's launch, Microsoft also released the Xbox X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller.
This controller also features a matching "OG Green" translucent shell. The controller's ABXY buttons are in the original color, while the bumpers are designed to resemble the iconic black and white buttons on the original Xbox "Duke" controller.
Availability and Pricing
The Xbox Series X25 console and special edition controller will be available as a bundle in select markets starting in November 2026.
The controller can also be purchased separately earlier, starting in October 2026.
While pricing details have not been announced, it is expected to carry a premium price given the exclusive design and current global economic conditions.
Information regarding pre-orders will be shared at a later date.
