Background
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are a pair of consoles that were released worldwide by Microsoft during 2020 and is the fourth console in the Xbox line.
Logo (May 5, 2020-)
Note: Due to some the gameplay footage being mature rated, the video on Xbox's YouTube channel is age-restricted. Therefore, the video shown on IGN's YouTube channel will be used instead.
Visuals: On a black background, the X Sphere draws itself in white as the word ''XBOX'', also in white, fades in below. When the sphere is completely drawn, a blue aura emits from the bottom of it as it slowly zooms out, illuminating the logo into view as a lens flare sweeps across the text. The logo sheens in gray once before fading out.
Variant:
- On the first look at Xbox Series X gameplay on Inside Xbox, the X sphere zooms in.
- Since the 2022 OS update, the animation of the logo forming is shorter. The zooming out of the sphere is also more noticeable.
- On the Xbox and Xbox Game Pass apps, only the X sphere is shown. The framerate depends on the animation speed.
Technique: Simple but effective CGI. It runs at 60fps on consoles and trailers, although some trailers and commercials are at 30fps or 24fps.
Audio: A synth, chorus-like note is held throughout the entire logo, sounding almost like Windows 98's startup.
Audio Variants:
- An extended version of the audio was heard on the first look at Xbox Series X gameplay on Inside Xbox. It lasted 14 seconds in total.
- When you launch a game via the Xbox Cloud Gaming service, an updated version of the startup sound from the Xbox One logo is used. This can also be found on trailers and commercials.
- The 2022 update version uses a faster version of the startup sound.
Availability:
- It was first seen on a YouTube video advertising the first look at Xbox Series X gameplay at an ''Inside Xbox'' event. Can also be seen when turning on a Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console.
- It can also be seen when launching a game via the Xbox Cloud Gaming service (previously known as Project xCloud) if played via a supported desktop-based web browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome), provided that you have a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
- The startup sound can be found on Larry Hyrb (Major Nelson)'s SoundCloud page. It was since then been removed, due to his retirement from Microsoft Gaming.
