Original Xbox background now an Xbox Series dynamic background

Neato.

The original Xbox’s startup background is now available as a dynamic background on both Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

It features a pulsating green orb surrounded by some ‘futuristic’ mesh (well, futuristic at the time at the original Xbox’s launch back in 2001).

To select it, head to Settings > General > Personalisation > My background > Dynamic backgrounds and then select the background titled The OriginalNeato sounds not included.

The special dynamic background has seemingly been timed to coincide with Xbox’s 20th anniversary; Microsoft is celebrating its Achievement (pun intended) with a host of events and even some special sales.

Happy birthday, Xbox!

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
