Xbox head Asha Sharma continues making gradual changes to the Xbox ecosystem.

Earlier, she dropped the Microsoft Gaming branding in favor of the shorter and more recognizable Xbox name. The company also refreshed its logos across consoles, promotional materials, and office spaces.

Now Sharma has announced another small update. Starting May 13, Xbox Series X|S owners will receive a new boot animation along with an updated startup sound.

Journalist Tom Warren has already compared the old and new startup screens.

As a Reminder, Kingdom Come Deliverance gets a perfume inspired by its medieval world.
