That was a bummer for longtime Xbox fans who wanted to get their hands on one of these limited-edition 25th-anniversary consoles. Now you have another chance, thanks to Amazon. Instead of doing preorders on a first-come-first-served basis, Amazon is letting anyone interested request an invite to buy this special-edition Xbox (you can request one here).<\/p>\n<p><h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"Request an invite\">Xbox Series X &#8211; X25 Limited Edition Invite Request<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"241908\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"241908\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Xbox Series X - X25 Limited Edition\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/27\/xbox-series-x-x25-special-edition-1787836860957.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/27\/xbox-series-x-x25-special-edition-1787836860957.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Xbox Series X &#8211; X25 Limited Edition<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled=\"\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>10<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Requesting an invite doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll necessarily end up being invited to buy a console. But it gives you a chance to be invited, which is better than nothing. As Amazon says, \u201cIf invited to purchase, you\u2019ll get an email when the item is available. Not all requests will be granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The console is meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Xbox. It\u2019s set to release on November 13 and costs (the curiously specific price) $909.23. Only 25,000 numbered consoles are being manufactured, which explains the difficulty people have had securing a preorder.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><span><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/span><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">So what do you get if you <em>do<\/em> end up buying it? You get a 1TB Xbox Series X console, decked out in translucent green. The front of the console has an X25 logo, and when you turn it on, the X logo glows green as well. You also get a matching controller (which is also sold separately, and is still available at some retailers). Finally, you get a digital copy of Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the campaign from the original Halo (see our review).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"Buy the controller\">XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition (Available Now)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"241877\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"241877\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/26\/xbox-controller-1787755731939.jpeg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/08\/26\/xbox-controller-1787755731939.jpeg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled=\"\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>6<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Overall, this has been an extremely popular item among IGN readers.
