Microsoft releases new Xbox 360 Blades dynamic background for Series X/S


Microsoft has released a new Xbox 360 Blades dynamic background for Series X/S consoles.

The iconic Xbox 360 dashboard featured a tabbed interface that enabled users to navigate the console by switching between different blades.

It launched in November 2005 and would go on to be replaced by the ‘New Xbox Experience’ or NXE three years later.

Players can follow these steps to get the Xbox 360 Blades background:

  • Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.
  • Navigate to Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization > My background > Dynamic backgrounds.
  • Choose Xbox 360 Blades under Featured or Xbox dynamic backgrounds
  • Select the background art you want using the A button.

The new dynamic background was released alongside a final wave of price reductions on digital Xbox 360 games, ahead of the closure of the console’s online marketplace this month.

Although users will still be able to redownload their previous purchases for the foreseeable future, after July 29 it will no longer be possible to buy any more games or DLC from the Xbox 360 Marketplace.

While many of these games will still be playable via other means, around 220 of them will essentially disappear forever, VGC analysis has showed.
