Fancy an Xbox background change? If so, you're in luck! Microsoft has added a couple of fresh dynamic options recently, including a new 'Power Your Dreams' theme for all the dedicated 'Team Green' fans out there.
As you'd expect, this latest background focuses on Microsoft's pair of current-gen consoles - all wrapped up in a cool icy, sparkly dynamic backdrop. There's a pretty cool theme to this one - we dig it!
However, if you prefer your backgrounds to be more game-specific, we've had a new option there recently as well. This one has been live for just over a week now but it's not got much attention yet, so we thought we'd highlight it here. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has arrived to splatter blood & guts all over your dashboard screens: (just kidding, the theme is quite tame actually.)
Xbox has built up quite a good selection of these now after recent additions from Modern Warfare 3, WRC and others - there are plenty of options for fans of different styles, genres, etc. We hope Microsoft keeps adding these as we move through the generation!
Will you be applying either of these new backgrounds? Tell us which in comments down below.

1st one is cool, but I'll be sticking with my Diablo IV dynamic background for now (even though I rarely ever play the game!).
There is almost nothing Dynamic about these. The only good one is the Ghostwire Tokyo one. They need to give this Dynamic thing a MAJOR overhaul because unless you are looking for something, you won't notice anything at all.
The first one is ok I sappose but just give us a few gears of war dynamic backgrounds any type of gears background would be miles better then anything we have now
The first one is pretty neat, but I'll stick with the 360-themed background.
@NarutosBiggestFan yh the ghostwire one is sick. But I've had it for so long already I just swapped it out for this new xbox one.
These “dynamic” backgrounds still feel like they are not being used to their full potential. This could be so much bigger than it is now. Why not with every AAA game a real dynamic background with things going on everywhere on screen. Come on , I had fully dynamic screensavers and backgrounds on my pc 15 to 20 years ago when internal memory was still a fraction of what is available on the current gen machines.
Woudve been nice with no console or just a x symbol ..
I always stick to the original Xbox theme
They need to add more abstract ones
@Sol76 indeed my friend. I just don't get why they are not making it accessible to more devs or even third party devs through the MS store.
When I had a PS3 and PS4 I remember that I was able to buy dynamic backgrounds of games. Isn't bad to buy some for a few bucks with some leftover cash on your account. Also, the gave them exclusively with some game pre-orders. That worked well too.
Don't really get why MS is going for the thing they're doing now. Just give people pointers of max video size en resolution so it isn't too demanding of the system.
Have them go full screen when in "screensaver" mode! Sheesh!
So underwhelming. They always look basic and naff where you have to stare for a while just to notice they're moving.
i fail to see what makes any of these themes Dynamic. now PS4 did dynamic themes right they had music, numerous moving objects. and animals sounding off in the background
Motes is my favorite dynamic, but I've since changed to the one where it changes to whatever game you're hovering over which is too cool.
