Xbox Startup Animation Poll: Which One Will You Choose?

Xbox Insiders can now pick from four startup animations spanning Xbox One to Series X|S eras. Which one will you choose?

Ever miss the good old days of firing up your Xbox and seeing that classic startup animation? Well, soon you'll be able to relive those moments whenever you want. The latest major console update for Xbox Insiders lets you choose from a series of startup animations from across the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S eras. And it won't be long before it's available to everyone.

So what are your options? You've got the standard Xbox One animation, the special Xbox One X animation, the Xbox Series X and S animation that was used until this year, and the new "We are XBOX" animation that debuted a few months ago as the new default. That's four distinct vibes to pick from, each with its own place in Xbox history.

If you're an Xbox Insider, you can try this feature right now. For the rest of us, we'll have to wait a bit longer for the update to roll out publicly. But it's coming, and it's going to be a fun little customization option for your console.

Which one would you pick? Maybe you're nostalgic for the original Xbox One startup, or perhaps you love the sleek Xbox One X intro. The Xbox Series X|S animation that served us until this year might hold a special place in your heart, or you might be all about the fresh "We are XBOX" vibe. Whatever your choice, it's cool to see Xbox giving players this level of personalization.

Startup animations might seem like a small detail, but they're the first thing you see every time you turn on your console. They set the tone for your gaming session. Being able to choose the one that resonates with you is a nice touch that adds a bit of personality to your setup.

This feature is part of a larger console update that includes other new features, though the startup animation option is definitely the headline. It's currently in testing with Xbox Insiders, so if you're in that program, you can dive in and start picking your favorite. For everyone else, keep an eye out for the public release.

So, which startup animation will you be rocking? Are you team classic Xbox One, or are you all about the new "We are XBOX"? Let us know in the comments!
