Unconfirmed pricing details and release dates for the upcoming Xbox 25th anniversary hardware collection have surfaced online, indicating a significant price premium for the upcoming limited edition hardware.
According to Dealabs writer billbil-kun—an established leaker with a strong track record for pricing and release leaks—the upcoming limited edition X25 Xbox Series X console is slated to launch on Black Friday, November 27. The leak states the console will retail for €899.99 in Europe, pointing toward an expected $899.99 price point in the US.
For comparison, the standard Xbox Series X console currently retails for $799.99 / €799.99 / £669.99 following a price increase earlier this month. The leaked €899.99 price tag makes the anniversary edition €100 more expensive than the current standard model.
Leaked Controller Pricing and Launch Dates
The leak also outlines details for the standalone anniversary peripheral. The limited edition X25 controller is reported to launch earlier than the console on October 20, priced at $79.99 / €79.99 / £74.99. While standard Xbox controllers start at $64.99, past limited edition variants have reached up to $89.99.
Microsoft originally announced the collection to mark 25 years of Xbox hardware. According to the initial manufacturer announcement, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design inspired by the original Xbox, alongside hidden tributes to the community.
