Xbox Series X25 Anniversary Edition Reportedly Priced at €899.99 With a November 27 Launch on Black Friday

Microsoft's limited-edition Xbox Series X25 25th anniversary console will reportedly cost €899.99 in Europe and launch on Friday, November 27, 2026, putting the anniversary hardware €100 above the recently increased standard 1TB Series X in the same European markets. The figures come from Dealabs writer billbil-kun, who has accurately leaked Microsoft hardware and software details in the past, and were picked up today by VideoCardz and Video Games Chronicle, both citing the Dealabs report directly.

The November 27 date falls on Black Friday 2026, which is widely treated as the start of the holiday console-buying window. Dealabs expects the US price to land at $899.99, although that US figure has not been confirmed by Microsoft. According to the leak, the package includes the 1TB console with a disc drive and the matching translucent OG Green Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition. Dealabs adds that pre-orders for the console bundle have not yet been dated.

The Xbox Series X25 was first unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase in June 2026 by Xbox's next generation VP Jason Ronald, who framed it as a tribute to the original Xbox hardware. The console uses the same internal hardware as the standard Xbox Series X, including 1TB of SSD storage and a disc drive, but ships in a translucent OG Green enclosure inspired by the original 2001 console, with an illuminated green power button X, the Xbox 25th Anniversary logo on the front, and additional design touches that the official Xbox Wire post describes as hidden surprises throughout. The Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition, sold with the console and also available separately, uses the same translucent green treatment, with the original ABXY color layout, bumpers inspired by the black and white buttons of the original Duke controller, and a fully transparent back case and battery door showing the classic Xbox logo. The current Xbox product page lists the console as "coming soon" with 1TB of storage and a disc drive.

According to Video Games Chronicle, the standalone X25 controller is set to release separately on October 20, 2026, at a reported $79.99 / €79.99 / £74.99. The anniversary hardware lands in the middle of a wider Xbox pricing reset: Microsoft announced worldwide price increases in June 2026, taking effect on August 1, including a $150 rise on 1TB consoles in the US, and attributed the adjustment to higher storage and memory component costs. The leaked X25 price of €899.99 sits €100 above the post-increase €799.99 standard 1TB Series X in the European markets covered by the Dealabs report, making it one of the most expensive mainstream Xbox SKUs to date.

For now, the dealabs report, the VideoCardz write-up, and the VGC summary are all labeled as leaks rather than confirmed announcements, and Microsoft has not published official pricing or pre-order dates. Readers planning to pick one up should treat the European price as reported, the US price as an estimate, and the November 27 launch date as unconfirmed until Microsoft either opens pre-orders or issues a statement through its official channels.
