Microsoft Unveils Special Xbox Console for Its 25th Anniversary

Microsoft has officially announced a special edition Xbox console to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Xbox brand. Revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase 2026, the new Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition pays tribute to the original Xbox with a nostalgic translucent green design and exclusive anniversary details.

The console features the same powerful hardware found in the Xbox Series X, including fast loading times, support for 4K gaming, and 1TB of storage. However, its unique appearance makes it a collector’s item for longtime Xbox fans.

Alongside the console, Microsoft also introduced a matching limited-edition controller inspired by the original Xbox design. The controller includes transparent elements and classic color accents that honor the history of the platform.

The announcement has generated excitement within the gaming community, as 2026 marks 25 years since the launch of the first Xbox console in 2001. The anniversary edition is expected to launch later this year, with additional details about pricing and availability to be revealed in the coming months.

With this special release, Microsoft celebrates not only the legacy of Xbox hardware but also the millions of players who have supported the platform over the past two and a half decades.
