Xbox and Razer have teamed up to launch new PC and Xbox peripherals for Xbox’s ongoing 25th Anniversary celebrations, all of which feature translucent green casing that hearkens back to Microsoft’s early console days. The new Xbox product lineup from Razer is now available for purchase worldwide, though inventories may vary.
Originally released in November 2001, the original Xbox console competed against the PS2 and GameCube as part of the sixth mainline console generation. Initially marketed with games such as Halo: Combat Evolved, the Xbox was also the first console to make its built-in hard drive a standard feature across the gaming industry. Although Microsoft’s gaming brand dabbled in multiplatform releases throughout its lifespan, Xbox has started to pivot back toward console exclusivity via games such as Clockwork Revolution and Gears of War: E-Day.
Xbox 25th Anniversary Edition Accessories from Razer are Now Available
As part of a larger lineup of Xbox 25th Anniversary gaming accessories and peripherals, gamers can now purchase some Xbox-themed products made by Razer. The Xbox-branded Razer Blackwidow V4 75% mechanical keyboard, the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K wireless mouse, and the Razer Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed wireless earbuds are now available to purchase directly from Razer. Razer is also offering free standard shipping across the US for all orders $99 and over, which includes individual orders of the aforementioned Xbox 25th Anniversary accessories. However, delivery times and any associated taxes and fees may differ depending on the buyer’s address, so users are encouraged to check their orders for any changes.
Drag weapons to fill the grid
The product launch coincided with the release of the official Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition, which retails for $79.99 as of this writing. While it is functionally no different than a standard Xbox gamepad, the X25 includes a translucent green casing, with white and black LB and RB buttons as a callback to the original Xbox controller. Additionally, the Xbox Series X X25 Limited Edition 1TB Disc Drive console is available for pre-order starting at $899.99, though quantities remain limited as of this writing.
