Xbox’s earliest design language could return in a striking—and expensive—limited-edition console. The reported Xbox Series X25 pairs translucent “OG Green” nostalgia with a built-in disc drive, revisiting the look of Microsoft’s original machine.
A clear window into Xbox history
Kitguru reports that a Dealabs report lists the console to ship on November 27, 2026, with a European retail price of €899.99. Its translucent green shell is said to draw inspiration from the original 2001 Xbox, leaving the internal components visible through the casing.
That aesthetic extends beyond the console. The limited edition reportedly includes a matching controller, giving the package a coordinated throwback look rather than treating the colour scheme as a console-only flourish.
Premium hardware with physical media intact
The system is also reported to feature a built-in disc drive. That is a notable inclusion for players with physical game libraries, particularly on a commemorative console built around Xbox’s history.
Still, the reported price places this firmly in premium territory. The combination of transparent hardware, a coordinated controller, and physical-media support creates a focused proposition: an anniversary system designed to celebrate Xbox’s roots as a complete set, not merely another colour variation.
Would the translucent OG Green design and included disc drive justify that premium price for your Xbox collection?
