Xbox is hijacking your console's dashboard (and any custom dynamic backgrounds) to aggressively advertise Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Already bought the game? Doesn't matter. You'll still see the ads ⤵️

Also the Xbox app on PC, everytime it opens up it shows a CoD image like it did with Gears and Dungeons.

Microsoft subsidized the cost so I expect this. Windows 11 on the other hand wasn’t.

I think it’s kind of cool four days a year or whatever when they launch their biggest titles, personally. Especially since COD is literally life or death for their whole division, especially this year with no old-gen support and disappointing revenues last year.
