Xbox Series X25 leaks: €100 pricier than standard, launches November 27

The special edition Xbox Series X25 console, unveiled by Microsoft in June to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Xbox brand, may have had its price and release date leaked ahead of an official announcement. According to Billbil-kun, a leaker with a track record of accurate product reveals, the anniversary edition will reportedly cost €899.99 in Europe and $899.99 in the United States.

For context, the standard 1TB Xbox Series X with a disc drive currently retails for €799.99 in Europe. This means the Xbox Series X25 would carry a €100 premium over its regular counterpart, a price difference attributed entirely to its unique design rather than any hardware upgrades. In terms of specifications, the anniversary edition is identical to the standard 1TB Xbox Series X, offering the same performance and storage capacity.

The standout feature of the Xbox Series X25 is its translucent case, which draws inspiration from the original green color of the first Xbox console released in 2001. The front panel also bears a special 25th anniversary logo, marking the milestone. The console was first shown during the Xbox Games Showcase in June as part of the brand's anniversary celebrations.

Billbil-kun further claims that the Xbox Series X25 will launch on Friday, November 27. More details are expected to be confirmed during Gamescom 2026, which could serve as the platform for Microsoft's official announcement. However, as Microsoft has not yet verified the leaked price or release date, these details should be treated with caution until the company makes a formal statement. The leak provides an early look at what could be a collector's item for Xbox fans, but potential buyers are advised to wait for official confirmation before making any decisions.
