Overview

  • On June 25, Microsoft released a surprise system update that corrects a bug stretching game thumbnails and box art on the Xbox 360 dashboard.
  • The refreshed interface now features two prominent ads for the Xbox Series X|S consoles, including a QR code linking to the Xbox website.
  • The update is available exclusively to Xbox 360 units set to U.S.-based location settings.

  • User feedback has ranged from praise for the dashboard repair to criticism of its new advertisements on the aging console.
