​
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, XBOX has launched pre-orders for the XBOX 25th Anniversary Collection. For the occasion, the trailer below was aired.

​


This collection includes the translucent green-themed XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition console which features a new “X” animation that lights up green when you power it on, along with the “XBOX 25” mark. It will be available on November 13, 2026, for an MSRP of $899.99 USD.

The collection also includes the XBOX Controller X25 Special Edition. This controller has a see-through back case and battery door, revealing the classic XBOX logo, and features the original-color ABXY buttons and a green XBOX button. It will be available for purchase separately when it launches on October 20, 2026.

You accidentally colored this paragraph and it is hard to read in light mode.

Yes, discs are digital.

The DRM is on the console, it doesn't matter. You can't copy the game either way.

Can't sell a digital license though, and there's no account to bind ownership ("subscription") of a disc to. For a system that hasn't been pwned yet, it does make a difference. Is there an industry-wide problem and is pyhsical vs. digital a lesser problem than DRM? Sure, but in present day, discs are leagues ahead of digital, particularly on consoles.

At one end, I wish I could get on this. On a second hand, without a jailbreak, the appeal of any current console is heavily limited, at best. Even then, series x wins by default, by virtue of actually trying to have comprehensive backwards compatibility.

If you mean the 50th, you'll have to wake me from the dead on the next anniversary!

What on Earth do you mean "particularly on consoles"? Discs have been dead on PC for decades. Also you may have missed the announcement from MSFT this week tieing Xbox One and later discs to an account. It's optional, voluntary, and allows you to have a digital license for the game until someone else uses that same disc to get a digital license, which then transfer to them.

  • PC games can be copied without a problem. Whether they can then run is a different story, but most games don't have particularly annoying DRM or remove it later down the line.
  • Discs have been mostly dead on PC. There are still some PC games releasing on disc, even if it's not much.
