Price Trajectory
The X25's $899.99 price sits $400 above the original Series X launch price, continuing a pattern of rising console prices across Xbox's hardware generations. The sellout and resale markup reinforce how scarce supply has pushed buyers toward secondary markets.
Shoppers hoping to buy an X25 at retail price should be ready to purchase at the midnight EST restock, since Xbox says availability will vary by region and retailer. Without a purchase during the restock, buyers will likely need to turn to resale listings, which have reportedly reached $3,500.
The takeaway
Console prices have climbed well beyond their launch levels, so buyers who want hardware at list price should act during official restocks rather than rely on secondary markets.
What happens next
The Xbox Series X25 restock goes live at midnight EST on November 11, 2026, with the consoles releasing on November 12, 2026.
