Xbox has announced today as part of the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 that we're getting a new limited edition console and controller later this year!
The new limited edition console is known as the Xbox Series X25 (obviously a version of the existing Xbox Series X), and it's been designed to celebrate the brand's 25th anniversary.
Here's more information on it:

For the first time, we’re bringing a translucent design to XBOX Series X, drawing inspiration from the original XBOX and OG Green so many players remember. The XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition respects our history, with the power and performance of the XBOX Series X, including 1 TB of storage, and a design that reflects where we’ve been and the community that’s been with us along the way.
From the moment you power it on, those details come to life. The iconic “X” lights up in green, a nod to the original XBOX start up, complemented by the XBOX 25th Anniversary logo on the front and other design elements that celebrate XBOX fans and classic hardware designs.
Meanwhile, here's a bit more on the new Xbox 25th anniversary controller:

We’re also introducing the XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition in translucent OG Green, showcasing 25 years of play inside. From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller. The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo.
The console will come bundled with the controller, whereas the controller will also be available separately.
No details have been revealed yet about a price, but we know that the controller releases in October 2026 and the console in November 2026.
Excited for this?! Will you be getting either of them? Tell us down in the comments section below.

They should have made the controller Duke style 🤣
I will.proabably grab a controller or two but I dont need a Series X besides I am not big on the console being all translucent.
I like the look of the console but at this point I'd rather save for Helix, might get the controller though
OMFG! I want this so badly!
That is one of the ugliest special edition consoles I have seen yet. Lol
Controllers look good though.
Atomic GREEN with expansion pack !
If I didn't already have a series x I'd buy this one. But this certainly isn't worth buying a second one for.
If it had some beefed up specs I'd consider it.
Not biting until they fix their brand and hardware issues for controllers. I've had 3 Xbox controllers get drift, all special editions and they really have the audacity to launch 1 TB 6 years into the lifecycle when we have MASSIVE libraries by this point. Cool they keep the trend going but I have a ton of 20 year anniversary stuff that still needs use. I like the look of the console. I hope they continue doing console wraps or make the exterior swappable in the future so we can enjoy updates without dropping $500-800
I hate how much I want this…
This is GORGEOUS but I won’t ditch my Series X for a new one, this is too expensive. I might buy the controller though.
Shut up and take my money!
I really like Microsoft , but here.... NO !
if at least we get 2 To or 4 To for the internal SSD... but NOOOOO.
Too expensive for a customs console....
I still have my green xbox from early 21th century.
I'm ok, thanks !!!
Won’t purchase, shame they didn’t go 2tb but I guess that is about cost and giving you choice if you want to spend more to expand the memory.
