Microsoft unveils a limited-edition Xbox Series X console to mark the company’s 25th anniversary. Multiple outlets report the special model is designed with a translucent green look that draws inspiration from the original Xbox. The console and its matching controller share the same retro-inspired translucent green aesthetic, described as a nod to the earlier “OG” Xbox design. One report notes Microsoft is also using additional branding changes, including a transparent treatment of the Xbox logo, as part of the overall anniversary presentation.

The console is identified in coverage as an Xbox 25th anniversary or “X25” Series X special edition. Microsoft positions the release as a first use of a translucent design for Xbox Series X, while the overall styling combines modern Series X hardware with a nostalgic visual theme. Sources also agree on timing: the limited-edition console is scheduled to be available for purchase in November, though specific pricing details are not consistently provided across the excerpts.
