From simple wave patterns to celebrating Halo Infinite, Microsoft has allowed users to set dynamic backgrounds on Xbox Series X|S for some time now. But if a recent leak is to be believed, we could soon see a «Dynamic Backgrounds Editor», which will unlock a slew of new customization options.

We've seen several dynamic backgrounds go beyond the standard designs, with a few based around Halo Infinite, Wasteland 3, Xbox
