Your Old Xbox 360 Just Got a Surprise Update

If you still have an Xbox 360 collecting dust under your TV, you might want to boot it up. Microsoft just rolled out an unexpected update for its nearly two-decade-old console—and it’s not just a bug fix or security patch. This time, they’ve gone in and tidied up the dashboard, complete with a flashy new advert nudging players toward the Xbox Series X/S. There's even a scannable QR code baked in, leading directly to the Microsoft Store where the newer consoles (now with steeper price tags) await.
