Overview
- Xbox revealed the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console and matching X25 controller, which were unveiled Sunday, and said the bundle will be sold as a limited collection in select markets in November.
- The X25 uses standard Series X hardware, including a 1 TB SSD, with changes limited to a translucent 'OG Green' shell, a green-lit X logo, and a number of hidden design easter eggs aimed at longtime fans.
- Xbox leadership announced at FanFest in Los Angeles that attendees who have 'fan' on their badge will receive a Series X25 for free later this year, a surprise that produced a strong positive reaction from the crowd.
- Xbox staff told reporters the company is working on anti-scalping measures ahead of preorders, saying the effort is 'top of mind' though no specific controls or preorder rules have been published.
- Pricing and preorder dates remain undisclosed, which raises the likelihood of high collector demand and reseller pressure when sales begin and makes retailer reservation systems or account-based purchase limits likely tools to watch for.
