## Summary

Microsoft has confirmed that its limited 25th-anniversary Xbox console will cost $899, completing the details of the translucent green commemorative edition. The premium release celebrates the original Xbox’s design rather than introducing new hardware, with the same core specification as a 1TB Xbox Series X.

Pre-orders begin on 27 August at 10am ET, while some dedicated Xbox fans will receive early-access invitations, and the console launches on 13 November. Each unit has a laser-etched number, includes an “OG Green” matching controller and a download of Halo: Campaign Evolved; the controller will be sold separately for $79 from 20 October.
