Microsoft’s translucent green Xbox Series X25 was announced as a celebration of the brand’s 25th anniversary. Now a leak has put a much less nostalgic number next to it: nearly $900. That price is not official, but it is already changing the conversation around a console that keeps the same basic hardware as a regular Series X.
The reported figure comes from TechRadar’s Aug. 21 report, which attributes the information to Dealabs leaker billbil-kun. Windows Central published the same broad estimate and notes that Microsoft has not confirmed the price. Until Xbox announces the final number, $899.99 belongs in the rumor column.
The $900 price is still a leak
According to the report, the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition will cost €899.99 in France and Europe and is expected to land around $899.99 in the United States. The same leak points to a Nov. 27 launch, which would put the console on Black Friday weekend. Those details line up with Xbox’s official promise of a November release, but the company has not confirmed the date or price.
Windows Central compares the rumored US price with the current 1TB disc-drive Series X and describes the difference as roughly $100. That makes the premium easy to understand: buyers would be paying for the translucent green shell, anniversary branding and lighting rather than a faster processor or a larger SSD. Its report also makes clear that the comparison is based on the leaked conversion, not an Xbox Store listing.
What Xbox has actually announced
Xbox Wire introduced the Series X25 and the matching Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition in June. The console has 1TB of storage, a translucent OG Green case, an illuminated Xbox logo and a design inspired by the original Xbox. The controller carries the same color, the Xbox 25 logo and a transparent battery door. says the console and controller will be sold together in select markets in November, while the controller will also be available separately.
