Xbox continues to evolve its ecosystem with another update, and this time, it’s all about the boot experience. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has officially announced that console owners will receive a new boot-up animation and sound on May 13.
The refreshed animation will feature the new Xbox logo, which includes a subtle twist to the existing design. This update aligns with Microsoft’s recent rebranding efforts, which introduced a more modern and glassy look to the Xbox logo.
Last month, Microsoft unveiled the new Xbox logo, marking a significant shift in its visual identity. Since then, the company has also released dynamic backgrounds and profile pictures featuring the refreshed logo for Xbox fans to customize their consoles and profiles.
Additionally, reports suggest that Microsoft has begun using the new logo design internally for Project Helix, its next-generation console initiative.
