Xbox CEO has revealed a new boot-up sound for consoles, which should arrive next week.
Since the arrival of the new CEO, we have seen all kinds of changes at Xbox, including reducing the price of Game Pass, revealing new tiers, and much more. The latest change has been made to match the brand-new Xbox logo; however, the new sound feels awfully similar to the previous iteration.
New Xbox Boot-Up Sound Makes Small Tweaks Over the Previous One
Interested readers can check out the new Xbox boot-up sound in the CEO Asha Sharma’s latest post on X (formerly Twitter). Sharma also stated that the new sound will arrive next Wednesday, May 13. Though the latest version and the previous iteration of the sound are very close, there are some audible tweaks. The sound feels higher-pitched, is shorter in duration, and matches the animation they have set for the new logo pretty well. Interested readers can check out the comparison video below:
