Report: Limited Edition Xbox launches Black Friday for €900
Microsoft’s limited-edition Xbox Series X25, a translucent green console celebrating Xbox’s 25th anniversary, will launch on November 27, 2026—Black Friday—according to a leak from Dealabs. The console is priced at €899.99 in Europe, with estimates of $899.99 in the US, making it one of Microsoft’s most expensive consoles to date.
The Series X25 was officially announced in June during the Xbox Games Showcase, but Microsoft had not yet revealed pricing or a confirmed release date. The leak comes from billbil-kun, a Dealabs contributor with a reliable track record of obtaining pricing information through JSON sniffing of retailer backend systems before public announcements.
The €100 premium over the standard Xbox Series X (currently €800 in Europe) is notable, positioning the limited-edition console at price parity with Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro in Europe. In the US, the console’s expected $899.99 price represents a similar $100 markup over the current Series X pricing of $799.99. UK pricing remains unconfirmed, though it’s estimated to fall in the £800–£900 range.
The Black Friday release timing is particularly significant given the console’s premium price point—a strategy that banks on collector interest and the holiday shopping season despite the cost positioning it above a standard current-generation console. Fans who attended the Xbox Showcase in June were promised free access to the console, while general consumers must wait for the public launch.
