Xbox Series X25 Preorders: Price, Release Date and Limits
Xbox’s translucent green Series X25 anniversary collection costs $899.99 in the US, launches November 13 and has limited pre-order availability.
Xbox Series X25 pre-orders are now opening for the company’s 25th-anniversary hardware collection. The limited-edition bundle pairs a translucent OG Green console with a matching wireless controller, a 1TB SSD and a full-game download of Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Xbox lists a US MSRP of $899.99 and a November 13, 2026 release date. Availability is limited to select markets, local pricing can differ, and the company says purchases are capped at one anniversary collection per customer.
How Xbox Series X25 pre-orders work
Xbox says some of its most dedicated fans began receiving email invitations on August 26. From 7 a.m. PDT on August 27, players in select markets can visit Xbox’s site or participating retailers for an opportunity to pre-order while supplies last. That is not a global, guaranteed on-sale window: the company directs buyers to their local Microsoft Store or authorized retailers for availability and region-specific pricing.
Because this is a limited product, the practical advice is to verify your local store listing and purchase conditions rather than assume every market has the same timing or stock. The announced one-per-customer limit also applies to the anniversary collection.
What the $899.99 collection includes
- Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console with 1TB SSD storage.
- Xbox X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller.
- A full-game download of Halo: Campaign Evolved.
- An individually numbered engraving and translucent OG Green anniversary design.
Xbox describes the design as a tribute to the original console’s green styling. The console’s illuminated X, transparent casing and anniversary details are part of the hardware itself—not a different performance tier of the current Series X.
Release dates and controller option
The Xbox Series X25 anniversary collection is scheduled for November 13, 2026. The matching X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller is available separately in select markets and is due on October 20. That offers a lower-commitment option for people who want the anniversary controller but not the full console bundle.
Xbox has not presented the $899.99 figure as a universal price. It is the US MSRP, so buyers outside the United States should use local Xbox or authorized-retailer listings for their actual price and availability.
What buyers should check before ordering
- Whether their country is among the supported markets.
- The local price and retailer terms.
- Whether the preferred purchase route requires an invitation or has opened to general stock.
- The one-per-customer limit and the fact that stock is limited.
Xbox Series X25 preorder FAQs
Is the Xbox Series X25 a new console generation?
No. Xbox presents it as a limited anniversary edition of the current Series X with 1TB storage, a translucent OG Green design and an X25 controller. The announcement does not describe a new performance tier or a separate hardware generation.
Can I buy the controller without the collection?
Yes, in select markets. Xbox says the matching X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller is sold separately and is scheduled to launch on October 20, ahead of the full collection’s November 13 release. Local availability and pricing can vary.
