Microsoft has announced a limited edition Xbox Series X25 console in translucent OG Green, complete with a glowing green Xbox button and a matching controller, to mark the brand's 25th anniversary. The design draws directly from the original Xbox hardware, including see-through sections on the back case and battery door that reveal the classic logo, along with original-color ABXY buttons on the controller. It packs the standard Series X performance with 1TB SSD storage and is scheduled for a November 2026 release as a limited run.

This translucent green variant revives a specific aesthetic from the early 2000s Xbox era, a period when the brand first established its signature color and some players associate it with the hardware's launch window. Official statements from Microsoft highlight the tribute to history and the community, with the glowing button serving as a nod to the iconic green X that debuted back then. The controller also incorporates glossy face buttons and color scheme references to the original design.

Availability details beyond the November window remain limited at this stage, with pre-order and pricing information expected later in the year. The announcement came during the recent Xbox Games Showcase, where the collection was presented alongside other updates.

Community reactions on X have been mixed, with some expressing interest in the nostalgic look while others note preferences for different special editions or question the need for another variant amid existing hardware options.
