Xbox has added a free Indiana Jones dynamic background on Series X/S

Xbox Series X/S consoles have received a new dynamic background.

Designed to celebrate the imminent release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, the background shows Indy standing at the entrance to a cave.

The ‘dynamic’ element of this background is a subtle one, showing raindrops slowly dripping off the cave entrance.

To access the background, players have to go to Settings, then General, then Personalisation.

From there, choose My Background, then Dynamic Backgrounds, then the Games tab. The Indiana Jones one should be the first option.

This is the 48th free dynamic background based on a specific game that’s been made available to Xbox Series X/S owners, and the 76th dynamic background overall.

These backgrounds don’t expire, and all can still be found and applied in the Dynamic Backgrounds menu.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released for Xbox Series X/S, PC and Game Pass on December 9, 2024, and for PS5 in Spring 2025.

The game stars Troy Baker as the voice of Indiana Jones, with Harrison Ford’s likeness used for the protagonist. It will also posthumously star veteran film, television and video game actor Tony Todd, who passed away last month.

VGC said Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is “shaping up incredibly well” after recently spending three hours with the game.

“So far, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle isn’t just the Indiana Jones adventure that fans have waited 40 years for, it’s the video game that the franchise has truly deserved,” we wrote.

“MachineGames seems to be a match made in heaven for the franchise, and we left our demo extremely keen to play more.”
