Microsoft announced today that, on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of XBOX, the settings of our XBOX Series X|S and XBOX One consoles will be updated in the next few hours with the possibility of changing the startup animation, choosing from those of past consoles, including the now historic one of the first XBOX, plus two new "modern" animations.

The update will arrive overnight, and will add the new option in the System menu of the settings. Here is the announcement tweet, showing the various animations to come.

We're bringing back the original XBOX boot-up animation for all XBOX Series X|S and XBOX One players, along with two additional XBOX 360 boot-up animations! This update will be rolling out throughout the day and thank you for being part of 25 years of XBOX. https://t.co/V9SKMZTtPR
