Xbox fans tracking anniversary hardware finally have a concrete kit to watch: the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition and matching Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition, both in translucent OG Green.
Xbox Wire framed the drop as a thank-you to the community that has been with the brand for 25 years, with subtle tributes baked into the shells and a few hidden surprises for people who look closely.
What the Series X25 Limited Edition is
This is a full Xbox Series X in a first-time translucent chassis, not a new silicon generation. Xbox Wire says the Series X25 Limited Edition keeps Series X power and performance, including 1 TB of storage, while borrowing the look and feel of the original Xbox and the OG Green players remember.
Power-on details matter for collectors. The iconic front "X" lights up in green as a nod to the original Xbox startup, and the front carries the Xbox 25th Anniversary logo plus other classic-hardware design cues.
Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition details
The matching pad is the Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition in the same translucent OG Green. Xbox Wire calls out original-color ABXY buttons, green accents, and bumpers that honor the black and white buttons on the original Duke controller. The back case and battery door are fully transparent so the classic Xbox logo shows through.
