One of the biggest joys of anticipating each new console generation is seeing the boot-up or start-up screen for the first time, along with a sound that you will soon listen to every time you turn it on. For instance, the original PlayStation start-up sound remains one of the most iconic.

Ahead of the Inside Xbox live stream later tonight, Microsoft has revealed the start-up screen and sound for the Xbox Series X. It’s definitely more subtle and modern compared to that of the Xbox One’s flashier one.

Check out the Xbox Series X start-up sequence below.
