Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition and a matching wireless controller, bringing back the iconic translucent green design that pays tribute to the original hardware.
The special-edition console was revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, with a surprise presentation featuring Bill Gates and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The release commemorates the 25th anniversary of the original Xbox, which launched in 2001.
Inspired by the classic Xbox console, particularly beloved among fans for its resemblance to the Halo Special Edition, the X25 marks the return of the franchise’s signature transparent green aesthetic.
The Xbox Series X25 comes with 1TB (terabytes) of internal storage and includes several hidden details and easter eggs that Microsoft has hinted fans will discover throughout the console’s design.
The accompanying controller also embraces the retro theme. Its top bumpers reference the black-and-white buttons found on the original Duke controller, while the face buttons feature the vibrant ABXY colors of the early Xbox generation.
Collectors will be able to purchase the console and controller as a bundle, while the controller will also be available separately.
The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition is scheduled to launch in select markets in November. Official pricing has yet to be announced.
