Xbox 25th Anniversary Series X limited edition: translucent green, expected ~$900

Microsoft is releasing a 25th anniversary limited-edition Xbox Series X with a translucent green finish that reveals internal components and hides Easter eggs. The console keeps a 1TB drive and a disc drive, and pairs with a themed controller sold separately that references original Xbox button colors and the 'Duke' controller. The special edition is expected to retail around $900—about $100 more than the standard Series X and comparable to the PlayStation 5 Pro—highlighting rising console prices as memory and storage costs increase and may push further price rises by 2027.

• Translucent green chassis exposes internal components and includes hidden Easter eggs inside the console.
• Console ships with 1TB storage and a disc drive; Microsoft discontinued the 2TB Series X due to rising memory costs.
• Expected retail price about $900, roughly $100 above the current carbon black Series X and similar to PS5 Pro pricing.
• Anniversary controller will be sold standalone and features original face button colors plus rear bumper nods to the original Duke controller.
