A limited-edition translucent green Series X console was unveiled earlier this year at the Xbox Showcase as the "Xbox Series X25" , planned for release in November with no confirmed pricing, alongside a matching Series X|S wireless controller.
Fans who attended the show were told they'd receive one for free, but regular consumers have been left in the dark until an apparent €899.99 European priceand November 27 releasewere revealed by "billbil-kun" via Dealabs' High-Tech magazine earlier today.
According to the data in our possession, we are able to say that the price of the XBOX Series X25 limited edition console will be €899.99 in France and Europe.

It's connected to a previous rumor that potential pre-orders for the translucent controller could start during Gamescom 2026, but billbil-kun couldn't confirm whether that aligns with listings for the Series X25 console. Interestingly, Black Fridaylands on November 27 this year, kicking off the holiday shopping season.
How much will the Series X25 cost in the US?

Right now, a standard Xbox Series X "1TB Disc Drive Carbon Black" on the official Xbox Store costs €799.99 in France and $799.99 in the US . The same currency-symbol switch applies in the same way to the "1TB All-Digital Robot White" at €749.99/$749.99, so it's reasonable to assume that the limited-edition Xbox Series X25 could cost $899.99.
Dealabs rightly assumes the same, with another translation explaining, "the equivalent of this price is expected to be $899.99 in the US," putting what is otherwise a functionally identical Xbox Series X console at $100 above its standard variantfor the benefit of its "OG Green" shell and green-tinted light on its power button.
It all follows Microsoft's earlier hardware price hike announcement , which increased the Xbox Series X price from $649.99 to its current $799.99. That $150 increase was already unpopular among Xbox fans, and particularly so with our readers, who voted that "Xbox consoles are too expensive now." If the price leak is true, asking for another $100 will presumably be equally shunned.
Since the start of its 25th-anniversary celebrations, I've been more interested in the translucent green controller. The original console is special to me, but I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on something like a build-your-own OG Xbox console . I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an affordable X25 joypad.
