We've seen plenty of Xbox dashboard renditions over the years, right from the OG 360 blades all the way up to the modern Series X|S dashboard, but we never thought we'd see the day where 'Comic Sans' font gets plastered all over the Xbox home screen - until now.
Yep, Xbox's engineering lead Eden Marie has taken to Twitter today to show us all when she tried out Comic Sans font on her Xbox dashboard. Of course, this was never released as an option for the public or anything - just as something being messed around with internally at Xbox HQ.
We must admit... we kind of like this? Like, sure we probably wouldn't stick with this font in particular - but something about it looks pretty cool. Maybe Microsoft could look into allowing different font styles as a console customization option? We'd be into that!
However, Marie does add that she tried out the 'Papyrus' font and it didn't work properly, so maybe it's not as easy to add this sort of option as we first imagined! Anyway, we thought this was an interesting look at an alternative Xbox dashboard - one in a world where Comic Sans didn't become some sort of meme font for most of us.
Would you use this? Or is there another font you'd pick? Tell us what you'd choose down below!

Looks hideous…
@IOI 😤😤😤
This looks terrible.
My first Xbox 👶
I don’t care if the text is displayed using hieroglyphs, I just want good exclusives on physical discs.
Comic Sans... The ultimate crime.
They should've kept this quiet and sneakily rolled it out as an update on April Fool's Day.
The current Xbox dashboard is not very interesting. I want it to be a bit more like the Xbox 360 dashboard, with more entertainment features.
This should be punishment for the Stalker 2 & MFS2024 launches.
Samsung smartphones from early 2010s, nostalgic...
Hard to read.
Can he show off XSX version shadps4 run Bloodborne?

LoL Well guess you bess get a Playstation... Xbox is going all digital. PC has been all digital. Nintendo doesn't do discs. So looks like you might wanna go all in on PS5... but as far as exclusives, if you count remasters... then you are golden!
Just changed Pure Xbox to Comic Sans using inspect element. Put me on the Xbox team, Microsoft.
@Balaam_ you probably have a better chance of getting hit by lighting and winning the lottery than Xbox having good exclusives on physical discs. They're the ones that want the digital future most of all. They've been fighting us for our digital rights for years. Now that they've seen it works, everyone else is following suit. We're a dying breed my guy.
oh no its so terrible looking , like a cheap android device
Perfect for how much of a comic show Microsoft is in 2024
