New: Automatically update your profile background

Hey guys, I'm proud to announce that you can now automatically update your profile background based on your most recently played game.

You can find this new option on your Profile Background page and Gamertag Settings page. You can get to it quickly by clicking the ellipsis menu at the top of your profile and selecting Change Background.

Oh yeah and a valid gamertag is required to take advantage of this new feature (duh!).

Let me know what you guys think. Want to see more features like this? Should I pick Gonzaga for my bracket? Drop me a line sometime. 😎

Additional theming options are in the works too! Like being able to show/hide and reorder elements on your profile, color theming, and more.

Neat idea. I think I'll go try it out now. I'm also kind of curious how it will look with certain titles, like some of the Windows / WP titles that have the low resolution game tiles.

In that case, we will fall back to your last played game that has a background. If we still can't find one, then we'll give you the default background shown on many WP game profiles (ie. games we don't have a background for).

I definitely like that option. You guys should make a badge for choosing that option.
