Xbox Series X25 Leak Reveals an €899 Price Tag for Microsoft’s 25th Console
Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox 25th anniversary console has reportedly leaked with a price tag that would make it one of the priciest Xbox models yet—despite claims that its core specs would largely match the current Xbox Series X 1TB version.
Xbox Series X25 leak points to a major premium
Rumors centered on the Xbox Series X25 suggest Microsoft set the European price at 899.99 euros, with the US figure reported as 899.99 dollars. If accurate, the new special edition would cost roughly 100 euros more than the standard Xbox Series X 1TB model with a disc drive.
The reported difference works out to about a 12.5% markup, with indications that there wouldn’t be meaningful performance upgrades to justify the cost. Instead, the premium would be tied to the console’s status as a celebration-focused collectors’ item.
What’s reportedly different: translucent design and 25th logo
The Xbox Series X25 is said to feature a translucent enclosure inspired by the original Xbox’s distinctive green color, along with a 25th anniversary logo on the front panel. Microsoft officially revealed the model during the Xbox Games Showcase in June as part of its 25-year celebration plans.
- Reported price: 899.99 euros (Europe) / 899.99 dollars (US)
- Premium vs standard: about 100 euros more
- Launch date claim: Friday, November 27
Why it matters—and what to watch next
If the leak is correct, buyers looking for the anniversary edition will be paying a noticeable premium for its commemorative hardware design rather than upgraded internals. Official confirmation is still pending.
Microsoft is expected to use Gamescom 2026 to share additional details, which should also clarify whether the rumored pricing and launch window hold up.
