Xbox 25th anniversary bundle opens limited preorders at $900

Xbox 25th anniversary bundle details revealed

The Xbox 25th anniversary bundle has entered preorder, though only a fraction of fans can lock it down today. Priced at $900, the kit pairs a translucent green Series X console with a matching controller and a digital copy of Halo: Campaign Evolved. Collectors will note the rarity of the emerald finish, a nod to the original Xbox launch palette. Availability rolls out in phases; North America sees the first wave, while Europe and Asia await later dates.

“This is more than a console; it’s a celebration of a quarter‑century of gaming,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Reuters.

The bundle also includes a year‑long Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, adding value beyond the hardware. Early adopters can expect limited‑edition packaging, serial-numbered inserts, and a commemorative art book. Analysts note that the price point places the bundle in the luxury segment of the console market, potentially limiting mass‑market penetration but boosting brand prestige.
