If you were hoping the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition wouldn’t break the bank, we’ve got some bad news.
According to trusted leaker billbil-kun of Dealabs, who has an exceptional track record, the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition costs more than we predicted. It looks like it will cost $899.99 in the US, which is more than the $799.99 we originally hoped for.
A limited edition was always likely to cost more, as our prediction was made before Microsoft’s third price hike – but $100 is a big jump.
The console’s reveal was well-received, as it features the translucent “OG Green” design inspired by the original Xbox console that kick-started Microsoft’s journey into console gaming.
A price of $899.99 for the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console means it will cost the same as Sony’s PS5 Pro, which is significantly more powerful, includes an extra 1TB of storage, though it doesn’t have a disc drive.
We recently learned the Xbox X25 controller will be $79.99, the usual price we’ve come to expect from special Xbox controller colors. The anniversary-themed gamepad will be sold separately, which may be the preferred option for many if the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition does indeed cost $899.99.
While the controller is expected to release on October 20, 2026, billbil-kun predicts the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console will arrive later on Friday, November 27. That’s Black Friday, though don’t expect any discount on this model.
It’s unclear when pre-orders will go live, but we’ll alert The Shortcut subscribers as soon as we know more and give you the direct links to retailers you’ll need.
