Overview
- Xbox began inviting select fans to pre‑order on Aug. 26 and opened general pre‑orders on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 7 a.m. PDT with a one‑per‑customer purchase limit to manage scarce supply.
- The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition is priced at $899.99, ships on Nov. 13, 2026, includes a matching controller and a full‑game download of Halo: Campaign Evolved, and each console is individually numbered.
- Microsoft confirmed the X25 uses standard Series X internals with 1TB of storage, making the release a cosmetic, collectible variant rather than a performance upgrade.
- An officially licensed 'Designed for XBOX 25th Anniversary' accessory line from Razer, 8BitDo, Backbone, GameSir and PowerA is available for pre‑order, with Razer’s mouse, keyboard and earbuds and several items set to ship around Oct. 20 and later in October–November.
- The launch leans on nostalgia and collectibility, carries roughly a $100 premium over the current 1TB Series X price, and is positioned as a limited commemorative drop that is likely to sell out quickly and mostly appeal to collectors and dedicated fans.
