The Xbox Series X25, Microsoft's translucent green 25th anniversary console, launches on Friday, November 13, 2026 for $899.99. It's a nod to the original 2001 Xbox, comes with a digital copy of Halo: Campaign Evolved, and every unit is individually numbered. Xbox turns 25 two days later, on November 15.
Xbox Series X25 at a glance
| Launch date | Friday, November 13, 2026 |
| Price | $899.99 (the most expensive Xbox console so far) |
| Design | Translucent "OG Green", like the original Xbox's special editions |
| Extras | Individually numbered engraving, digital Halo: Campaign Evolved |
| Limit | One per customer, while supplies last |
| Matching controller | X25 Special Edition controller, sold separately for $79.99 |
Why $900?
It's a limited collector's edition, not a normal Series X. You pay for the see-through green shell, the numbered engraving and the Halo remake (about $50 on its own). Inside it's still an Xbox Series X, so games run exactly the same as on a regular one.

Halo: Campaign Evolved
The bundled game is the modern remake of the original Halo campaign, the game that sold the first Xbox in 2001. Putting it in the box with a green console is about as on-the-nose as an anniversary gets, and fans of the original will love it.

Can you still get one?
Pre-orders opened back in August, limited to one per customer. Stock is limited, so check the Xbox store and big retailers on launch day, and watch out for scalpers asking far more than $899.99.
