Xbox marks 25 years with translucent green PC accessories now open for pre-order

Xbox has opened pre-orders for a 25th Anniversary collection built around translucent OG Green styling, giving the company’s classic green branding a fresh run across PC and mobile accessories. The collection is officially licensed and is designed for use beyond the console itself, which makes it more relevant to keyboard-and-mouse users, handheld gamers and mobile players than to traditional console buyers alone.

The headline items in the range are three Razer products: a Basilisk V3 Pro 35K mouse, a BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard and Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed earbuds for Xbox. The wider bundle also includes two phone controllers, an 8BitDo charging dock and a PowerA bag made to carry the ROG Xbox Ally handheld. That mix signals a broader Xbox ecosystem focused on Windows and mobile gaming as much as console hardware.

The confirmed collection includes several products that keep their standard internals while adding the anniversary look. The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K Xbox edition uses the same Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2 and offers up to 140 hours of wireless battery life. The BlackWidow V4 75% Xbox edition uses hot-swappable Orange Tactile Switches Gen-3. The Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed for Xbox is the earbuds entry in the line-up.

The collection also extends well beyond the three Razer peripherals. Backbone’s Pro controller appears in a blind-box format, so buyers do not know which heritage colourway they will receive. GameSir has an X5 Lite phone controller in the set, and 8BitDo contributes an Ultimate Charging Dock. The translucent shells revive the look of the original Xbox era, and the four-colour face-button palette also carries over to the separate anniversary console.

Among the accessory partners, Razer contributes the most expensive items in the range and the products that look most likely to appeal to PC buyers in India. The Basilisk V3 Pro 35K Xbox edition is listed at $179.99, the BlackWidow V4 75% Xbox edition at $209.99 and the Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed for Xbox at $119.99. Each carries a $20 premium over the standard model, which suggests the anniversary treatment is mostly about finish and branding rather than entirely new hardware.

That approach matters because it keeps the products grounded in known designs. The mouse, keyboard and earbuds do not appear to introduce a new class of hardware; instead, they combine existing specifications with the translucent green anniversary shell. For buyers, that usually means the buying decision will come down to whether the Xbox-themed design is worth paying extra for, especially once import duties, shipping and regional taxes are added on top of the dollar prices.

There is no confirmed India pricing for the anniversary collection at this stage, and the accessory prices were shared in US dollars. For Indian buyers, that means the final landed cost could differ significantly once shipping, customs and GST are factored in, if the products are purchased through overseas channels. Without a confirmed India launch, it is too early to suggest local retail pricing or stock availability.

The most practical takeaway for Indian shoppers is to watch for regional rollout details before committing to a pre-order. If the accessories stay limited to select markets, they may only be accessible through import sellers or global storefronts. In that scenario, the green translucent finish may look appealing, but the total cost could make the anniversary premium harder to justify for users who simply want a capable mouse, keyboard or earbuds for everyday gaming.

Several pieces in the collection are not just cosmetic updates. The keyboard carries a dedicated Xbox key that opens Windows Game Bar, which makes sense in a world where Xbox functions increasingly overlap with Windows gaming tools. That shortcut also lines up with the broader Xbox-on-PC direction visible in the rest of the collection, especially for buyers who use the same setup for gaming, productivity and streaming.

The bag and mobile accessories are also important because they show how the anniversary line is being positioned. Rather than centring the collection on a single console shell, the bundle stretches across desktop, phone and handheld use cases. The PowerA bag is built for the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, while the mobile controllers extend the anniversary theme to phone gaming. For many Indian buyers, that spread may matter more than a single limited-edition console.

The anniversary accessory lineup is only part of Xbox’s broader 25-year push. Microsoft’s own anniversary product is the Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console, which uses a translucent green shell and 1TB of storage. It is due in November and will be sold alongside a matching Wireless Controller X25, but the console price has not been officially confirmed.

A separate reported price has placed the console near $899, which would be roughly $100 above the current 1TB Series X. That figure should be treated as unconfirmed rather than final. The same caution applies to India: there is no official local launch detail for the accessories or the console, so Indian readers should treat all current timing and pricing information as market-specific rather than global certainty.

For Indian buyers, this anniversary drop is more interesting as a sign of where Xbox sees its future than as a must-buy collector bundle. The selection leans heavily towards PC and mobile gaming, which suggests Microsoft wants the Xbox identity to travel across Windows devices, handhelds and phones, not just sit on a living-room console. That can be useful for buyers who already spend more time on PC gaming than on console gaming.

At the same time, the collection is not especially affordable. The Razer products sit in premium territory even before any import overheads are added, and the anniversary design is likely to matter most to enthusiasts who care about the translucent green theme. If you are a practical buyer, the standard versions of these accessories may remain better value. If you want a collector-grade look tied to Xbox history, the anniversary editions make more sense.

Xbox’s 25th Anniversary collection is a style-led refresh of familiar accessories, but it is also a clear reminder that the brand now stretches well beyond consoles. The translucent OG Green finish brings back the classic Xbox look, while the product mix shows how much of the company’s gaming strategy now lives on PC and mobile.

For Indian readers, the key point is simple: the collection is real, pre-orders are open in supported markets and the Razer products are the most eye-catching part of the set. What is not yet clear is whether these accessories will receive an official India launch, what the final local price will be, and whether the anniversary console itself will be easy to buy here. Until those details are confirmed, caution is the right approach.
