Xbox Honors Akira Toriyama With Free 'Blue Dragon' Dynamic Background

Xbox has added to the list of free Dynamic Backgrounds on Series X and Series S today with a special background based on the Xbox 360 classic Blue Dragon, and it's to honour the Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama.

Toriyama, who sadly passed away recently, was an artist on Blue Dragon back in the day, and the game ended up becoming one of the most beloved JRPGs of the Xbox 360 generation. You can check out the background below:

In order to apply this on your Xbox console, you simply need to go My Games & Apps > Settings > Personalisation > My Background > Dynamic Backgrounds. In there, you'll find the new Blue Dragon design.

And of course, if you want to try Blue Dragon yourself, it's backwards compatible on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S! You'll find it on the Xbox Store for £14.99 / $19.99, and it's still a great game that's well worth a play in 2024.

"Hironobu Sakaguchi, the Father of the Final Fantasy series, and Artoon present the world of Blue Dragon on Xbox 360. Featuring the character design of Akira Toriyama, the Father of "Dragon Ball Z", and music by Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for Final Fantasy, Blue Dragon is an epic role-playing game (RPG) centered on five youngsters who possess miraculous strength and magical power to control shadow creatures that mirror the actions of their masters."
