Microsoft’s Xbox 25th anniversary console comes in translucent green

Microsoft has created a special edition Xbox Series X to celebrate 25 years of the console. The Xbox 25th-anniversary console takes design cues from the original Xbox console, with both the console and controller featuring a translucent green design.

“For the first time, we’re bringing a translucent design to Xbox Series X, drawing inspiration from the original Xbox and OG Green so many players remember,” explains Jason Ronald, VP of next generation. “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.”

The X on the front of the console lights up green when you power this special edition console on, and there’s a 25th anniversary logo on the front, too. The controller has the original ABXY colors, as well as bumpers that honor the original black and white buttons found on the Duke controller. “The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo,” explains Ronald.

Both the console and controller will be available in November, but Microsoft hasn’t announced an exact release date or all-important pricing just yet.
