Microsoft launches 25th-anniversary Xbox Series X console

Microsoft unveiled a new limited-edition Xbox Series X console called the X25 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox. The console features a translucent green shell and a matching controller, with design nods to the original Xbox and Duke gamepad. While the hardware specifications remain the same as the current Series X, the aesthetic aims to evoke nostalgia for the brand's early days. The X25 is set to release in November, though pricing details have not yet been announced. AI
