The Xbox 360 digital store is set to close on July 26, bringing an end to an era for many nostalgic fans. To commemorate the occasion, Microsoft has introduced a new dynamic background that pays homage to the console’s original “Blades” interface.
For those who may not be familiar, the Blades interface was the first dashboard design of the Xbox 360, which was introduced back in 2005. It was known for its smooth navigation and simplistic design, making it a fan-favorite among many gamers. Despite being replaced by a different interface in 2008, some players still hold a special place in their hearts for the Blades UI.
While the new dynamic background may not be as detailed as the original interface, it still offers a glimpse into the past for those looking to relive the early days of the Xbox 360. To set the Blades as your Xbox background, simply follow these steps:
– 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 prefer using the A button.
This nod to the past is a nice touch from Microsoft as they prepare to close the digital store for the Xbox 360. For more information on the store closure and any final updates, you can check out the Xbox Wire article for additional details.
