    It's not bad, but I think the Cyberpunk one looks better and has more detail. Really looking forward to this game though, hoping it turns out to be good.

    PS3 had better dynamic themes. Some on PS4 were awesome too. Come on Microsoft, It's not that hard. This one looks good.

    Lets' see if Obsidian can still deliver deep RPG without Chris Avellone.

    I wish PS5 would go back to that, I miss my old Persona 5 and Final Fantasy IX themes

    This looks really nice. I'll have to make an upgrade when I get home!

    I've been using a picture of Master Chief and Sgt Major Johnson for years, none of these freebies have ever made me want to change it.

    And I second the PS3 having the greatest themes ever. Some of those were more fun than the games they represented!

    I wish that if you left your dashboard idle for a few minutes the tiles would disappear and leave you with your dynamic background alone as a screensaver; when you press a button, your dash returns to normal.

    Lovely dynamic background.

    I like the concept of these, and they are easy advertising for any smart company. Which is why I wonder why they are still rare and most look like they took 10 minutes to slap together.

    Whoa I LOVE this idea!!! I wonder if this has ever been suggested as feedback via the Insiders program? It seems like it would strike a good middle ground between MSFT wanting advertisements and store tiles on the main dash and players wanting to see their backgrounds.

    I third this idea! Just as long as it could fade in and out, or move around a bit more, to protect my OLED. shock
