Every Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console is individually numbered with a unique engraving, Xbox said in the Xbox Wire post that opened pre-orders for the Xbox 25th anniversary collection, which launches on 13 November 2026 at an MSRP of $899.99.
The collection contains two pieces of hardware: the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console and the Xbox X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller. The announcement, dated 26 August 2026 and credited to Jason Ronald, set the launch date, the price and the terms of sale in a single post.
A numbered console in translucent OG Green
The numbering applies to the console itself. Xbox said each Series X25 Limited Edition unit carries its own engraving, “making each one a lasting piece of XBOX history”. The post gave no size for the production run, so the highest number in the series is not public.
The console’s finish is translucent OG Green. Xbox said details and tributes are hidden throughout the hardware, without listing them, and that “every detail was created to celebrate the players, games, and moments that have shaped XBOX over the past 25 years”.
The anniversary controller is sold two ways. Xbox said the X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller would also be available on its own, launching on 20 October, ahead of the console and the rest of the collection. No separate price for the controller appears in the pre-order post.
The announcement is a sales post rather than a specification sheet. It covers the design, the engraving, the included game and the rules of the pre-order, and does not set out the internal hardware of the Series X25 Limited Edition.
Halo: Campaign Evolved comes with every console
Every Series X25 Limited Edition console includes a full-game download of Halo: Campaign Evolved. Xbox introduced it in the announcement as “one more surprise” and described the game as “the faithful yet modernized remake of the iconic campaign that helped define the original XBOX experience for millions of players around the world”.
The game is supplied as a download rather than on disc, and the inclusion covers the full limited edition. Xbox did not tie it to a particular retailer, market or stage of the pre-order, so the download comes with each console in the run.
No separate price is attached to the game. The $899.99 figure is quoted for the 25th anniversary collection, with the download presented as an addition to the hardware rather than a priced item inside it.
$899.99, one per customer, and pricing that varies by market
The $899.99 MSRP is in US dollars. Xbox said pricing varies by market and told players to check their local Microsoft Store or authorised retailers for region-specific pricing and availability, which leaves the dollar figure as a reference point outside the United States.
Pre-orders ran in two stages, a day apart. On 26 August, some of what Xbox called its most dedicated fans were invited by email to order the collection. From 7 a.m. PDT on Thursday 27 August, all players in select markets could use the Xbox site or participating retailers for an opportunity to pre-order while supplies last.
Xbox named no countries for that wider stage. The same instruction to check local listings therefore covers both the amount a buyer pays and whether the collection is offered in a given market at all.
Pre-orders were limited to one Xbox 25th anniversary collection per customer. Xbox set that limit per customer rather than per household or per account, and applied it across both the email stage and the public stage.
The dates in the announcement put the controller first, on 20 October, and the console and collection on 13 November 2026, about eleven weeks after the pre-order window opened in August.
