If you’re the kind of player who keeps their Xbox Series X|S dashboard looking sharp, you’re in for a treat. Microsoft has rolled out a fresh batch of dynamic backgrounds, and this time, they’re not holding back. Fans of high-octane shooters and mysterious adventures alike will find something to love with new animated themes tied to major upcoming and recently released titles, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Battlefield 6, and the standout Keeper.
Fresh Wallpaper Vibes for Fall 2025’s Biggest Xbox Titles
This latest update significantly expands the visual flair of Xbox home screens, giving Series X|S users a chance to personalise their consoles with motion wallpapers that reflect the very games they’re most excited about right now, or already playing.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 fans will appreciate the slick, action-packed dynamic background that’s already been live for a few weeks. It’s moody and intense: just as you’d expect. If you missed it, don’t worry. We’ll cover exactly where to find it shortly. But let’s be honest: it already looks right at home behind your game tiles.

Then there’s Battlefield 6, which, while more understated, offers just a subtle touch of movement: namely a wisp of smoke drifting up from the bottom left corner. It’s modest, sure, but adds that cinematic edge the franchise is known for. Sometimes less really is more.
How to Set These Backgrounds on Xbox Series X|S
Setting a dynamic background on your Xbox is a breeze. Just follow these steps:
- Press the Xbox button on your controller.
- Navigate to Settings > General > Personalisation > My background.
- Select Dynamic backgrounds.
- Scroll through the available options and choose your favorite, like Black Ops 7, Battlefield 6, or Keeper.
Each background is listed with its name and a small preview thumbnail, so it’s easy to see which game it’s tied to.
More to come?
With Microsoft slowly but steadily growing its dynamic background collection, it’s safe to assume we’ll see even more updated themes in the near future, especially as we head into the busy Fall 2025 launch window. More first-party exclusives and third-party heavy-hitters will likely get their own animated backdrops. So if your current dashboard feels a little stale, odds are good there’s a fresh look just around the corner.
