Microsoft’s Xbox 25th anniversary console could cost $100 more than the 1TB Series X

The translucent, retro-styled Xbox Series X25 could arrive just in time for Black Friday this November.

Microsoft’s Xbox 25th anniversary console could cost $100 more than the 1TB Series X

Microsoft's Xbox 25th anniversary console, the Xbox Series X25, is expected to launch on November 27, 2026, priced at €899.99 or $899.99. This premium price tag is roughly $100 more than the current price of the standard Series X, which is $799.99 after Microsoft's August price increase. The X25 will feature a translucent "OG Green" shell design with visible internal components, similar to the original 2001 console.

Despite the higher price, the X25 matches Sony's PS5 Pro in cost, as both lack a disc drive. The console's price may seem inflated due to recent RAMageddon, which has caused significant price inflation in the console market. Pre-orders for the X25 have not been announced, so interested buyers should monitor Xbox's channels for updates.
