Xbox Series X is Microsoft's fastest, most powerful console ever and set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility, allowing you to bring your gaming legacy, thousands of games from three generations and more forward with you.

To celebrate 25 years of Xbox built alongside players, Microsoft introducing the Xbox 25th anniversary collection.

Inspired by the look and feel of the original Xbox console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together. You’ll also discover a few hidden surprises throughout, as a thank you to the community.

For the first time, Microsoft abringing 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.

Microsoft also introducing the Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition[CL5.1] 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 and controller will be available together in select markets as a limited edition collection in November, with the XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition also available separately.

We’ll have more to share on pricing and pre-order availability at select retailers soon.
