Earlier this week, Xbox pulled back the curtain on its plans to celebrate Black History Month this year, which takes place throughout February (in the US). There's plenty in the works, including some nice freebies for everyone!
For example, Halo Infinite is giving away a special armor coating, visor, emblem and nameplate to everyone who logs into the game during this month (seen above), while Forza Horizon 5 is also adding a new in-game decal that can be used to customise any car you like.
Plus, in addition to the seven new Xbox Dynamic Backgrounds that were made available earlier this week, we've got another new one called the "Black History Month 2024 Xbox Sphere", and you can see what it looks like down below.
Elsewhere, you'll notice a "variety of game collections" being highlighted on the Microsoft Store throughout February to mark the occasion, and Xbox is also working with the videogame tech training program Gameheads to "take our partnership with them further than ever before", including via a special Black History Games Showcase.
There's a lot more information about all of this on the official Xbox Wire website if you're interested.

Good stuff Xbox. I love that dynamic background.
The Halo stuff is amazing. Way more than we’ve gotten previous years. Here’s hoping other months get a similar treatment.
Very nice to see love all the new themes aswell best ones yet
New armour looks awesome, has Ironman vibes. Also shocker from 90s Spider-Man. Very cool looking
What part of Black History did Masterchief effect? Just asking for a friend

Welp time to snag some freebies!
Chinese Lunar New Year is on the way, are y’all mad about that too? Cinco de Mayo? Matsuri is coming up in my state does that get your dander up? No then park your hate bus. Some people take pride in their culture… it’s not about you.

Pure question, do these elements fit the Halo worldview? I would like the immersive experience to be important.
@xboxjapanfan no they do not.
