Xbox Series X/S and Cloud Gaming

Background
Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are a pair of consoles that were released worldwide by Microsoft during 2020 and is the fourth console in the Xbox line.

(May 5, 2020-)
Visuals: On a black background, the X Sphere draws itself in white as the word XBOX, also in white, fades in below. When the sphere is completely drawn, a blue aura emits from the bottom of it as it slowly zooms out, illuminating the logo into view as a lens flare sweeps across the text. The logo sheens in gray once before fading out.

Variant: Since the 2022 OS update, the animation of the logo forming is briefened. The zooming out of the sphere is also more noticeable.

Technique: Simple but effective CGI. It runs at 60fps on consoles and trailers, although some trailers and commercials are at 30fps or 24fps.

Audio: A synth, chorus-like note is held throughout the entire logo, sounding almost like Windows 98's startup.

Audio Variants:
 * An extended version of the audio was heard on the first look at Xbox Series X gameplay. It lasted 14 seconds in total.
 * When you launch a game via the Xbox Cloud Gaming service, the startup sound from the Xbox One logo is used.
 * The 2022 update version uses a faster version of the startup sound.

Availability:


 * It was first seen on a YouTube video advertising the first look at Xbox Series X gameplay at an Inside Xbox event. Can also be seen when turning on a Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console.
 * It can also be seen when launching a game via the Xbox Cloud Gaming service (previously known as Project xCloud) if played via a supported desktop-based web browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome), provided that you have a subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
 * It is worth noting that the Xbox Series X can be difficult to find, due to the ongoing global chip shortage and supply chain issues that have been brought up by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well scalpers reselling the consoles at a price higher than its MSRP. However, the Xbox Series S, is somewhat easier to find (though if you want to get games on the Series S, you will either need to purchase a game from the Microsoft Store or subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, as the Series S doesn't have an optical drive built-in).
