The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition is priced at $899.99 in the US and launches November 13, 2026, per Dexerto and FullCleared's coverage of the pre-order announcement. Xbox's own announcement says only that the collection arrives "in November" in select markets, so treat the exact date as reported rather than confirmed by Microsoft.
Pre-orders opened with invites on August 26 and to everyone on August 27, and are limited to one collection per customer, according to Dexerto and FullCleared.
What you get
- Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console in a translucent OG Green shell with visible internals
- Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition, a matching translucent controller (also sold separately)
- A full download of Halo: Campaign Evolved
- Individual numbering: Dexerto reports each console carries a unique engraving
What it sells for
Our releases page records an eBay sold average of $1,634 across 10 sales for the console as of October 26, 2026, against the $899.99 retail price. That is our team's check of completed sales. It is a small sample taken before launch, so prices can move.
Why this matters for resale
- Limited edition tied to a milestone. It marks 25 years of Xbox.
- Order cap. One per customer limits how many a single buyer can hold.
- Pre-launch premium. Completed sales are already above retail.
- Collector appeal. Translucent consoles have a following.
Risks and the case against
- Small sample. Ten sales is not a market. Premiums often fade once units ship and stock is easy to see.
- High cash outlay. $899.99 per unit ties up money until delivery.
- Wider supply than it looks. Pre-orders go through Xbox and participating retailers, and unsold units can show up later.
- Shipping and condition. A boxed console is heavy, and a scratched translucent shell hurts value. Fees on a $1,000+ sale are real; see our reseller fees guide.
- Marketplace rules. Selling a pre-order you do not hold can break them.
Flip, hold or pass
This is analysis, not a promise.
- Flip: If you already hold a confirmed order and sold prices stay well above retail after fees once units ship.
- Hold: If you are a collector. Sealed units tend to be the version buyers want.
- Pass: If you would have to pay a premium to get one. After fees, you may be left with little.
