Xbox recently announced that this week's Inside Xbox will focus on a first look at next-gen gameplay on the Xbox Series X, including trailers and more. That's in addition to today's announcement of a new "Xbox 20/20" initiative, which boils down to monthly updates from Xbox about the upcoming console, Xbox Game Pass, and more. But it would also appear that Xbox has revealed something unexpected: the new start-up sound and sequence for the upcoming console.

The teaser video for Inside Xbox begins with the reveal of the Xbox logo and a distinctive sound that's separate from anything previously associated with the consoles. Add to this the fact that the social media post for it begins with "boot up" and the closed captions on the YouTube upload stating "[New Xbox Sound]" and it seriously looks like this might be the new start-up animation and sound for the Xbox Series X. Xbox hasn't exactly said so, but that's a not-insignificant amount of circumstantial evidence.

Boot up Xbox 20/20 with a new episode of #InsideXbox this Thursday, May 7 @ 8am PT for a First Look at Xbox Series X gameplay from our global developer partners.
