The background for the main menu on the original Xbox is now available as a dynamic background theme for Xbox Series X|S owners. The new background was spotted by Twitter user Klobrille. 

Xbox Series X|S owners can use the original Xbox background as their Xbox Series X|S background by updating their console with the May update, then going into Settings > General > Personalization > My background > Dynamic backgrounds. It is the last background in the list.  

The original Xbox launched nearly 20 years ago on November 15, 2001, with Halo: Combat Evolved as the flagship launch title.

Reminds of the PS2 Theme on PS4. Sony should add themes to the PS5.

I couldn't hear nor do I have an Xbox, but does the background also have the ambient noise that was in the original Xbox main menu? I always thought it was super cool!

No dynamic themes have thus far encorporated sound, so I imagine not
