Xbox Series X25 Restock: Best Buy Drop Set for November 25
By Jessy • Nov 6, 2026Key Points
- Best Buy will restock the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition through the Best Buy Drops part of its app on November 25.
- Xbox announced the console for November 13 at $899.99. No time has been given for the Best Buy drop.
- Xbox limits the collection to one per customer, and the console has been sold out at retail for months.
Best Buy is getting more of the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition, the translucent green console Xbox made for its 25th anniversary. The Shortcut reported on November 6 that the restock will run through the Best Buy Drops section of the retailer's app on November 25. For resellers, it is one of the few announced chances to buy at retail a console that sold out during preorders.
What Is the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition?
The X25 is the main piece of what Xbox calls the XBOX 25th Anniversary Collection. In its Xbox Wire announcement, Xbox describes a Series X in a see-through "OG Green" shell, a nod to the original Xbox, with small tributes to the brand's history hidden in the hardware.
Here is what Xbox says comes in the box:
- The Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console, each one numbered with its own engraving
- A matching X25 Special Edition Wireless Controller
- A full-game download of Halo: Campaign Evolved, the remake of the first Halo campaign
The controller is also sold on its own. Xbox said it would launch October 20.
How many were made is not confirmed by Xbox. ComicBook.com and The Shortcut both put production at 25,000 units, but the Xbox Wire post gives no number. Treat 25,000 as reported, not official.
When and Where the X25 Restock Drops
Here are the dates and the price, as announced. Retail plans can change, so check before you count on any of them.
- Launch: November 13, 2026, per Xbox.
- Price: $899.99 in the US, per Xbox. Xbox says pricing varies by market.
- Limit: One collection per customer.
- Best Buy restock: November 25, through Best Buy Drops only. ComicBook.com says the app is the only way to buy it in this drop. Neither outlet had a start time.
ComicBook.com says Best Buy Drops alerts usually go out about 30 minutes before a release. The Shortcut suggests installing the app early, turning on "Notify Me" for the drop, and saving your payment method and shipping address so checkout goes faster. Set that up before November 25, not during the drop.
Here is how the main ways to get one compare right now:
| Option | Price | Good for | Downsides | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best Buy Drops, November 25 | $899.99 retail, as announced | Buying new from an official seller | App only, no start time, limited stock | Collectors and resellers who can be on their phone that day |
| Existing preorder through Xbox or a retailer | $899.99 retail | Delivery on November 13 | Preorders sold out months ago | People who already ordered |
| Resale marketplaces like eBay | Well above retail in listings reported so far | Buying when retail is gone | Paying a markup, scam risk, and some sellers may not have stock yet | Buyers who missed every retail window |
| The X25 controller alone | Check the retailer | Getting the look for less | Not the numbered console | Fans who want the design without the console price |
Console restocks have come close together this fall. If you are also watching Nintendo, the Zelda Switch 2 restock at Target and Best Buy followed a similar pattern of announced dates with few other details.
Early Resale Signs for the X25
Here is what named outlets have reported so far.
- Sold out at retail. The Shortcut says the console has been sold out for months before its November 13 release.
- High asking prices, not confirmed sales. Right after preorders opened in August, LevelUp found sellers asking $1,800 to $2,000, and one US seller asking $3,000. LevelUp also said there was no way to know whether those sellers had actually locked in a preorder.
An asking price is not a sale. We have not found an outlet that counted completed sales yet, and the console does not ship until November 13. Once it does, check eBay's sold listings filter for real prices before you decide whether the X25 is worth flipping. Keep fees, shipping and the one-per-customer limit in mind, because some console flips lose money once the costs add up.
To see how prices moved after another limited console launch, look back at the restock dates reported for the Zelda Switch 2 and how retail stock came back in waves.
Bottom Line
The Xbox Series X25 is a numbered, limited console at $899.99, and Best Buy's November 25 app drop is the next announced chance to buy one at retail. The resale prices reported so far are only asking prices, so wait for real sold listings after the November 13 launch before you count on a profit.
