Xbox Series X and S Users Surprised With Starfield Freebie

As a lifelong gamer and avid Xbox fan, I must admit that the latest addition to my console’s dashboard has left me utterly thrilled. The new Starfield: Shattered Space dynamic background is a breathtaking spectacle, turning my gaming hub into a celestial wonderland. Even for those who aren’t enamored with Starfield, it’s hard not to appreciate the sheer beauty and sophistication of this cosmic canvas.


Owners of both Xbox Series X and S consoles have been pleasantly surprised with a complimentary item associated with Bethesda’s upcoming game, Starfield. This week, Bethesda officially released the RPG’s first significant expansion, titled Starfield: Shattered Space. Although players are still exploring all the new content that Shattered Space offers, Xbox is commemorating the arrival of this DLC by providing a free item to anyone who currently owns an Xbox console, whether they have previously played Starfield or not.

Now available: A fresh, lively Starfield: Shattered Space-themed dynamic background has been introduced on Xbox consoles. This latest addition is tailored for Xbox Series X and S, inspired directly by the key art of Shattered Space. Being a dynamic background, it incorporates gentle movements that bring the dashboard image to life.

To enjoy the Starfield: Shattered Space theme as your new console background, first, open the Settings menu on your Xbox Series X or S. Inside the Settings, locate and select the Personalization tab. Then, within this tab, you’ll find the “My Background” section. In this area, you’ll see a section for dynamic backgrounds, where your desired theme should be located along with other free backgrounds that Microsoft has provided previously.

Experience the magic of outer space right on your console with the latest Starfield Shattered Space dynamic backdrop, exclusively available for Xbox Series X|S! To activate this feature, follow these simple steps: Navigate to Settings > Personalization > Background > Dynamic backgrounds.

For those who may not be avid Starfield fans, there’s no denying that this fresh Xbox wallpaper is quite stylish. What makes it even more appealing is the fact that PlayStation 5 users are yet to enjoy customizable themes on their console. Recently, Sony introduced a “Welcome Hub” with dynamic backgrounds on PS5, but these are not equivalent to the themes available on PS4. Consequently, Xbox remains ahead in terms of dashboard themes, particularly since many of them can be obtained for free.

What’s your take on the fresh “Starfield: Shattered Space” theme now available on Xbox Series X/S, and are you considering adopting it as your personal background? Don’t forget to share your thoughts with me via social media at @MooreMan12.
