Xbox is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a new collection of accessories inspired by the translucent hardware designs of its early years.
The Designed for Xbox 25th Anniversary Collection was revealed on August 25, ahead of the console brand officially turning 25 on November 15. Rather than releasing a single commemorative accessory, Xbox has partnered with several hardware manufacturers for a wider lineup spanning PC and mobile gaming.
A number of the products bring back Xbox’s recognizable translucent green aesthetic, while others draw inspiration from different colors and designs associated with the original Xbox era.
Razer brings translucent green back for Xbox’s 25th anniversary
Razer has three products in the collection, led by the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K Xbox 25 Anniversary Edition. The wireless RGB gaming mouse features a translucent green shell with Xbox 25 branding and offers up to 140 hours of wireless battery life.
Underneath the anniversary design, the mouse features Razer’s Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2 and a four-way scroll wheel with additional configuration options.
Razer is also releasing an Xbox anniversary version of its BlackWidow V4 75% mechanical keyboard. The compact keyboard uses the same translucent green design across its keys and upper chassis, paired with a black wrist rest carrying Razer and Xbox 25 branding.
The hot-swappable keyboard supports Razer Chroma RGB and includes an exclusive Xbox key that automatically launches Game Bar.
Completing Razer’s lineup is the Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed Xbox 25 Anniversary Edition. The wireless earbuds and charging case have been given matching translucent green shells, with Xbox 25 branding printed on both earbuds.
The earbuds support Razer HyperSpeed Wireless and Bluetooth 5.3, including low-latency 2.4 GHz audio. Razer says they offer up to 10 hours of use on their own and 35 hours total when including the charging case.
The anniversary treatment extends beyond Razer’s accessories. 8BitDo has unveiled an X25 Special Edition of its Ultimate Charging Dock for Xbox controllers, which uses a transparent green design inspired by older Xbox hardware.
The dock is compatible with Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One wireless controllers.
GameSir is also using the translucent green color scheme for its X5 Lite mobile controller. The officially licensed Xbox accessory supports iOS and Android devices, carries Apple MFi certification and features Xbox 25 branding across the controller.
Backbone revives three original Xbox colorways
Backbone has taken a different approach with its Backbone Pro Xbox 25th Anniversary Edition, bringing back three heritage colorways called Iconic Blue, Bold Orange and Crystal Clear.
Each version features a translucent shell, but buyers won’t get to choose which one they receive. Xbox says the anniversary Backbone Pro will be sold in a blind box format, meaning the color variant inside won’t be revealed until the box is opened.
The collection also includes the PowerA Xbox Sling Bag, designed to carry the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. It has four compartments for storing a handheld, headset, controller, phone, and other accessories, along with a padded main compartment and adjustable strap.
