Xbox Series X25 Price and Release Date Leaked Ahead of Gamescom

Xbox Series X25 price and release date details have leaked ahead of Gamescom 2026. According to a new report, Microsoft’s translucent green anniversary console will cost €899.99 in Europe, with an estimated $899.99 in North America. The console is expected to launch on November 27, 2026, which is Black Friday. Microsoft has not yet confirmed the pricing or release date officially.

Here is everything we know so far about the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition and its price.

Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition Details

Microsoft first revealed the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7, 2026. The console features a translucent “OG Green” design inspired by the original Xbox from 2001, along with an illuminated green X and 25th Anniversary branding.

The console matches the hardware specs of the standard Xbox Series X, including a disc drive and 1TB SSD. Everyone in the audience at the June showcase received a free Xbox Series X25, though the wider public will need to pay the reported price once it becomes available.

Xbox’s 25th anniversary itself falls on November 15, 2026, marking 25 years since the original Xbox launched in 2001.

Xbox Series X25 Price and Release Date

The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition will reportedly cost €899.99 in Europe. The report from Dealabs also estimated a North American price of $899.99, though this figure has not been officially confirmed for the US market.

The console is expected to launch on November 27, 2026. That date falls on Black Friday, a common launch window for major retail products.

Microsoft has not commented publicly on the leaked price or release date. The company’s official Xbox product page currently lists the Series X25 as “coming soon,” with no pricing listed.

Dealabs has a strong track record with Xbox hardware reports. The outlet had already leaked pricing for the matching Xbox 25th Anniversary controller earlier in August.

How the Xbox Series X25 Price Compares

The reported €899.99 price is €100 more than the standard 1TB Xbox Series X, which now costs €799.99 in Europe following Microsoft’s recent price increase. In the US, the $899.99 estimate would match the price of Sony’s PS5 Pro.

Microsoft raised prices across its Xbox hardware lineup from August 1, 2026, including a $150 increase on 1TB consoles in the US. That price hike is a key reason the anniversary console costs more than expected.

Xbox X25 Controller Price and Release Date

A matching Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition will be sold separately. Dealabs reported the controller will cost $79.99 in the US, €79.99 in Europe, and £74.99 in the UK.

The controller is expected to release on October 20, 2026, with pre-orders opening on August 26. That date lines up with Xbox’s first broadcast at Gamescom 2026, which runs from August 26 to August 30 in Cologne.

What We Still Don’t Know

The pre-order date for the Xbox Series X25 console itself has not been revealed. Dealabs has only confirmed the controller’s pre-order window so far.

With Gamescom taking place next week and Microsoft expected to have a strong presence at the event, more official details could arrive soon.
