What's Dropping
Microsoft released pre-orders for the Xbox Series X 25th Anniversary Limited Edition console on August 27, 2026. This special edition celebrates 25 years of Xbox with a translucent green design inspired by the original console. Only 25,000 units will be produced, each individually numbered with unique engravings.
The console maintains the Series X specs: 1TB SSD, 4K gaming at 120FPS, and includes a wireless controller. It comes bundled with Halo Campaign Evolved, adding value for collectors.
When & Where
Pre-orders went live at 10 AM ET on August 27 through multiple retailers:
Small restocks occurred throughout the day, particularly at 15 minute intervals on Xbox.com.
The Play
At $899.99 retail, this is a premium collector's item. Microsoft doesn't charge for pre-orders until shipment in November 2026. This gives resellers flexibility to list early and adjust pricing based on market demand.
The limited production run and numbered units create scarcity. Early listings should set prices above market estimates while allowing best offers to gauge interest.
Resale Outlook
Our team estimates resale value around $1500 based on collector demand and limited availability. The numbered units and anniversary significance add long-term value. Past limited Xbox consoles have shown steady appreciation among gaming collectors.
