Xbox Celebrates 25 Years with a Green‑Shaded Console and Controller
Microsoft has unveiled the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console, debuting at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase as part of a 25‑year celebration. The new hardware mirrors the original 2001 Xbox with a translucent green shell, instantly invoking the brand’s iconic “OG Green” look.
The Series X25 retains all the performance and 1 TB of storage found in the standard Xbox Series X, but features a special anniversary emblem and a green‑lit Xbox symbol that activates upon startup. Its companion Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition sports the same translucent finish, revealing internal components and echoing the classic ABXY button colors and ridged layout of the original controller.
Exclusive Bundle and Stand‑Alone Options
Microsoft plans to sell the console and controller together in a bundled package in selected markets this November, while the controller will also be available for individual purchase. Pricing, pre‑order windows and further details remain undisclosed, with the company promising additional information closer to launch.
Legacy Meets Modern Design
With the Series X25, Microsoft bridges 25 years of gaming history and cutting‑edge technology, packaging a nostalgic aesthetic inside a flagship system that still delivers the performance gamers expect.
