## Key points

- Xbox's 25th anniversary accessory collection is now open for pre-order
- Most items are translucent "OG Green", echoing the original Xbox's Halo edition
- Range includes Razer, 8BitDo and GameSir gear, plus a blind-box Backbone Pro

## Summary

Microsoft's "Designed for Xbox 25th Anniversary" collection of limited edition accessories has launched for pre-order, marking the official release of the range after it was previewed at E3 in June. Almost every item is finished in translucent "OG Green", a deliberate nod to the Halo special edition of the original Xbox and matching branding used on the previously announced Xbox Series X25 limited edition console, tying the release into 25 years of Xbox history.

The final line-up spans several third-party manufacturers, including 25th anniversary editions of the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K mouse, Razer BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard and Razer Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed earbuds, alongside a translucent green 8BitDo Ultimate charging dock and a translucent green GameSir X5 Lite mobile controller. The only departures from the green theme are a black PowerA sling bag and a "blind box" edition of the Backbone Pro mobile controller, which follows last year's translucent green version and comes in clear, translucent blue or translucent orange, with the colour a surprise until purchase.
