As Microsoft marks its impressive 50-year journey, Xbox Series X|S owners have a unique opportunity to join the festivities. A fresh Xbox Dynamic Background has been unveiled, as announced on Xbox Wire, allowing gamers to dive into the celebration in style.
This vibrant new background showcases an array of iconic characters from Xbox’s vast universe. Among them, you’ll find the ever-resilient Master Chief from Halo, Doom’s relentless Slayer, the grizzled Marcus Fenix of Gears of War fame, the enigmatic Lilith from Diablo, and the quirky Raz from Psychonauts, along with many other beloved figures.
Curious about how this Dynamic Background will transform your console’s look? Check out the example provided below:
Dynamic Backgrounds offer players an engaging way to personalize their consoles with animated scenes. Many of these scenes are drawn from various games, particularly those from Xbox’s own library, like the newly released art from Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed or a vivid moment from the Fallout TV series. Yet, occasionally, we see third-party splashes of creativity for games like Dead Space.
Personally, I tend to stick with a Dynamic Background for some time. Since its release, I’ve loved having the Diablo 4 Lilith background. However, I recently switched it up with the Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader setting, where a mighty ship gracefully drifts through the enigmatic Void.
Beyond backgrounds, Xbox players can spruce up their profiles with new Gamerpics, featuring nostalgic elements like a floppy disk, a Windows cursor, and even that mischievous office assistant, Clippy.
To sweeten the celebrations, players can earn a special Microsoft 50th anniversary badge by becoming part of the Xbox Insider Program.
In alignment with Microsoft’s landmark anniversary, Windows Central has been joining the chorus of recognition, sharing fascinating tales about the tech giant’s pivotal gear, games, and moments that have left lasting impressions.
Reflecting on my own gaming journey, I recounted memories of playing Age of Empires 2 as a young enthusiast. This experience was a gateway, sparking a lifelong passion for real-time strategy games.
