Xbox Revives Translucent OG Green for 25th Anniversary Console
The Series X25 Limited Edition leans hard on nostalgia — see-through green shell, glowing X, and a controller channeling the original Duke.
Microsoft is marking 25 years of Xbox with a translucent OG-green Series X25 Limited Edition — a glowing-X, 1TB nostalgia play landing in the same stretch as GameSpot-reported plans for a sweeping post-June-30 restructure and major layoffs at Xbox. The hardware itself is pure throwback: a see-through shell, a power button that glows green, and a matching Wireless Controller X25 whose black-and-white bumpers nod to the original Duke. Selling an anniversary skin of current-gen hardware is a strange flex when the strategy underneath is reportedly being rewritten, and there's still no next-gen console in sight. The controller sells separately for buyers who want the Duke callback without the bundle, which is the most honest part of the announcement: this is a collectible, not a platform move. It launches in select markets in November, with pricing left to retailers.
