Xbox fans have been treated to a surprise with a new freebie tied to the release of South of Midnight, a recent exclusive from Xbox Game Studios. While the game, developed by Compulsion Games (known for We Happy Few), has been met with mixed reviews, especially due to its lack of player engagement, it still boasts some impressive visuals. The game’s art direction and lighting have earned praise, and fans who appreciate these features can now download a free dynamic background inspired by the game.
The free background is available to all Xbox users, not just those with Xbox Game Pass, and is available for Xbox Series X, Series S, and even Xbox One. While the background’s design is based on the game’s box art, which some consider rather plain compared to the in-game visuals, it includes subtle animation, such as moving crows in the background. This dynamic element may be hard to spot at first glance, but it adds a touch of liveliness to the Xbox dashboard.
The game itself, however, is priced at $40, though it’s included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which costs $20 per month. Whether this background will remain available as a permanent feature or is a limited-time offer remains unclear, though past dynamic backgrounds have remained accessible for download.
