One of the criticisms leveled at the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S at
launch was that the familiar UI wed been using on the Xbox One for the past few years didnt feel like a generational leap that gamers are used to. In comparison to the PS5 , which has a completely redesigned UI, things felt a little dull on Microsofts new consoles, but thats beginning to change.

With the addition of dynamic backgrounds, a feature that was never available on Xbox One, Microsoft console is rife for personalization options, something which is distinctly lacking on PS5. The UI itself will also soon look a lot sharper on 4K displays, as Microsoft is updating the dashboard to output at a higher resolution on Xbox Series X consoles.

Now, if Microsoft could just implement some sort of background music, that would be ace. Id love to hear the famous Halo monks wailing every time I boot up the console. Best Halo games : where does your favourite rank?
