Designed to mark a quarter century of play since the original console debuted in November 2001, this anniversary hardware pays homage to early brand aesthetics, specifically drawing visual inspiration from the 2003 translucent Halo Special Edition shell. The see-through chassis features a power button that illuminates green, dedicated anniversary branding on the front, and a clear view of internal hardware components such as the main cooling fan. The system arrives alongside a broader ecosystem of retro-styled gaming gear, including themed third-party accessories created by brands such as Razer, 8BitDo, GameSir, Backbone, and PowerA.
