Xbox has unveiled a special version of their logo and background theme in celebration of Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, with Thai artists leading the design. Drawing inspiration from the epic Indian Ramayana mythology that has influenced many countries in the Asian region including Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Laos, the Thai narrative of Ramayana is depicted through the traditional Khon masks, transformed into Ramakien for the gaming world.
The special edition Xbox logo features the revered characters Suryakripa (Sun Prince) and Manjaknuk (Golden Swan) splashing water on each other against the backdrop of Thailand’s Songkran festival atmosphere. The logo symbolizes the radiant sun, with the stage curtain adorned with forest orchids in the traditional Northern Thai style, depicting mist and rivers representing the picturesque mountainous landscapes.
Users can access this background theme on Xbox by navigating to Profile & System > Settings > General > Personalization > My background > Dynamic backgrounds. Additionally, Xbox recommends games on Games Pass that reflect the diversity of East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific Islands, such as Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Mineko’s Night Market, Sword and Fairy: Together Forever, Thirsty Suitors, and Venba.
TLDR: Xbox introduces a special logo and background theme for Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, inspired by Thai artists and the Ramayana mythology, allowing users to customize their console with dynamic backgrounds and explore diverse games from the region.
