Microsoft Removes Optimized For Xbox Series X Logo From Box Art

Microsoft has removed the logo for Xbox Series X optimization from the box art. This has been confirmed by analyst Daniel Ahmad who shared the updated box art.

It should be in the front, but smaller.

[porkChop]

It should just be a banner at the top or bottom.

[TheExecutioner]

It's not at all required.

[porkChop]

I agree, it's unnecessary. I just mean if they *have* to have it then make it something small and out of the way.

[Tacoboto]

It already has the Xbox logo, the Xbox One platform name, and the Series X name. Another logo that has the name embedded in it was just bad design

[rainslacker]

I always though a talking bobble head of aaron greenburg on each copy.

But i suppose a sticker or something on the front is less annoying

[darthv72]

That eye catching logo was just too big. Glad they moved the info to the back instead. I usually like to flip cases over to see the fine print and if it says optimized for SX on the back... im good with that.

[Double_O_Revan]

Good. It did not need that giant logo on the front. Something smaller on the back works just fine.

[ElementX]

It was hideous, I'm glad it's gone. I may not buy physical games, but I do like to look at box art

[adamwparker]

Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series (future lockhart?)...

It's a good move. It's already getting into being a little confusing for some general population when you list all of these consoles on the box or compatible in their own way.

[Kavorklestein]

Ps4, Ps4 Pro, Ps5, Ps5 Digital. 5 types of Xbox, 4 types of Playstation. Such a HUGE task to remember what is what!
Oh noes! The difficulty is too much!
C'mon if people can keep track of 5 kinds of iPhone and decide which one they want, then surely it isn't gonna be that hard for a person to know which console they want to get based on the specs.

If people can keep track of PC parts and specs, and TV models and specs, and Cars and their Trim levels and features, then all I have to say is you are clearly making a stink about nothing.

[dumahim]

you're reaching by adding the digital version when it is no different than the disc PS5 and then ignoring the Xbox One S all-digital version.

[Gamble20]

Lol you are calling PS5 Digital a different “type” of console? You know it isn’t you just wanted to make it sound like MS didn’t have that much more than Sony. Besides, the numeric naming convention Sony uses is easier for the non-gamer consumer to understand anyway. They didn’t just twist around the usage of the letter X.

[InUrFoxHole]

Agreed. I can see the older population getting confused by this

[Starman69]

Maybe they can go bk to watching the antiques road show lol 😂

[InUrFoxHole]

Lol

[Hedstrom]

Good! It looked like crap!

[DFresh]

Looks way better.
The new box art.

[medman]

Sometimes, less is more. That logo was overdoing it, big time.

[DJStotty]

no they have not

This badge itself is completely redundant, since every new XSX game is somehow "Optimized for XSX".

"Optimized for XSX" simply means the game was compiled to run natively on XSX, how can someone release a new game on XSX that is not "Optimized for XSX"?

It's seems just another marketing mess, that went out of control to the point of "proudly" covering 10% of the front cover, and now to the point of "proudly" have to remove it, since it was way too ridiculous!

Anyway, they are still missing three more badges:

1) This game is using X Teraflops out of 12 Teraflops.
2) This game is approved by Phil Spencer!
3) This game is recommended by Aaron Greenberg!

[Deathdeliverer]

I’m glad they did. Cut out all the buzzwords and bulletpoint crap. It’s a more powerful system, games will look better on it vs the old hardware. 99% of people that buy one will already know, or assume it.

[badz149]

So... That makes for how many 180 already for MS? And next gen haven't even strated yet

[Saijahn]

The clickbait headline tho...

They just need to place it better and make it smaller, simple.
