We've enjoyed personalising our Xbox Series X|S consoles with the new dynamic themes, but while the selection was great at launch, we've been hungry for more ever since. Luckily, a new background is out today for us all to play with.
As confirmed by the engineering lead at Xbox, Eden Marie, the 'Motes' background should be available for all Xbox Series X|S owners now. If it's not there, Marie suggests checking to see if you need to manually update your console.
We'd love to see more unique backgrounds in the future, maybe even some themed ones. How about a Halo Infinite dynamic background with Master Chief and other characters? In the meantime, this will do just nicely.
Are you going to use the new dynamic theme? Let us know in the comments below.

The fact that there isn't just a ton of dynamic themes already is baffling. I love having them and can't wait for more, but they should be out by now. There should be a huge huge list of them and community ones too. I would also love to see an option to automatically switch between some or all of them every time my console turns on, or every hour or something, just to keep it fresh and not see the same one all the time.
Is there a way we can change the motes color to something else other then green?
Looks great, I love it!
@Xenomorph_79 I agree, I find these to be rather lame. On the ps4 you at least even had game music to go along with it, and on the ps5 as well(not talking about dynamic themes) if you hover over a game I heard?
Either way, I currently prefer seeing the game's background over the current dynamic backgrounds.
I really like the simplicity of it I’ll be checking these out.
This really shouldn't be hard to implement. I mean adding new themes. Dynamic or not, the 360 had a ginormous amount for purchase or free even. And you could upload your own like the One and Series offer except those are through the Xbox app now. At least MS aren't pulling a Nintendo when it comes to themes
Edit: @Chaudy you can change the color by changing your profiles personal color in the personalization section of the options. I kind of like light blue or gray for the Motes
Yes, I'd love me some more dynamic backgrounds. Fallout and Gears themed ones come to mind.
