Microsoft Revives Ugly Sweaters for 50th Anniversary as 2025 Drop Sells Out Fast

Three designs are selling through the Company Store plus select locations at roughly $60 to $80.

Overview

  • Microsoft released three limited sweaters for 2025: an Artifact (Windows) design, a Zune brown version, and a green Xbox option.
  • The Artifact and Zune sweaters list at $79.95, while the Xbox sweater is available to pre-order for about $59.95.
  • Demand spiked on launch day with the Company Store straining under traffic, and Microsoft says the Artifact sweater sold out in record time.
  • The Artifact design centers Clippy and layers in MSN, Minesweeper, Internet Explorer, MS‑DOS and Windows logos, plus modern touches like a Copilot icon and a Minecraft Creeper.
  • Sales are live online and at Microsoft’s Redmond store and New York experience center, marking a return after no sweater was released in 2024.
