A new XBOX console variant has been officially announced by Microsoft's gaming division as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.

XBOX Series X25 has been inspired by the look and feel of original XBOX consoles with the new variant and controller featuring its unmistakable translucent OG Green.

There are also subtle tributes and hidden surprises that can be found too.

Here's a look at everything we know so far about XBOX Series X25.

XBOX Series X25 is a limited edition variant of the XBOX Series X to tie in with XBOX turning 25 this year.

It's the first time the XBOX Series X features a translucent design and it draws inspiration from the original XBOX and OG Green.

It has 1TB of storage. When powering it up, the iconic 'X' lights up in green, which is a nod to the original XBOX start-up. There's also an XBOX 25th anniversary logo on the front and other design elements long-time XBOX fans will recognise.

No, XBOX Series X25 is not more powerful than XBOX Series X. The X25 is a limited edition variation of the Series X and is not a mid-generation console upgrade.
