Xbox's 25th anniversary limited edition console, the 1TB Xbox Series X25, will cost €899.99 in Europe, according to reliable leaker billbil-kun via Dealabs. This represents a €100 price increase over the standard 1TB Xbox Series X with a disc drive, which retails at £669.99 in the UK, suggesting a UK price of around £750 for the X25.
Price Comparison and Context
The €899.99 price point matches the European cost of the PS5 Pro, which lacks a disc drive but offers twice the storage and costs £789.99 in the UK. Notably, the Xbox Series X is nearly six years old and originally launched at £449.99 before price hikes.
Compared to other limited edition consoles, the X25 is significantly more expensive. Sony's 30th anniversary PlayStation 5 consoles cost £449.99 in the UK, with a European price only €50 above the standard digital edition. The Xbox X25 does include a disc drive, unlike Sony's offering, but the cost remains substantial.
Release Date and Pre-Orders
According to billbil-kun, the Xbox Series X25 is scheduled to launch on Friday, November 27, 2026, coinciding with Black Friday. Pre-order details have not yet been announced.
This limited edition console is clearly aimed at collectors, yet Microsoft is attempting to sell a more expensive version of a console that has seen limited market adoption. Fans are now looking toward Microsoft's next-generation console, codenamed Project Helix, which will support both Xbox and PC games, though concerns about its potential pricing persist.
