Detroit Become Human. Got a sort of interactive menu.
With a choice to make near the end.
Portal 2: The menu changes as you progress the story to the state of Aperture Science.
Sea of Stars!
As you progress, the title screen changes, until it looks completely different!
Ghost of Tsushima
Far Cry 5 changes with the ending but not so much along the way.
Kotor 1 and 2 change based on story progress of your latest save file.
Spider-Man 2 changes the menu based on which act you are in.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider, with the eclipse sneaking up on you.
It’s a minor one, but A Link Between Worlds shows a different main screen depending on if your last save is in Hyrule or Lorule
Pikmin 4 starts with a garden scene as its menu, and once you reach Hero’s Hideaway in-game and return to the menu, it’s now a zoomed-out view showing that the garden scene was just on the TV within the house. Pretty cute.
Witcher 3 does this, Tales of Arise does this in at least the DLC and iirc one of the pokémon games also did it at least a bit (I believe it was legends Arceus, but I might be misremembering).
Half Life 2 updates its main menu background as you proceed through the chapters.
Life is Strange
Cyberpunk 2077 updates for each major story mission chain you complete. This is also reflected in the initial loading screen when loading a save, usually with audio from a news broadcast that gives some of the fallout from what you did.
Trails of Coldsteel Series.
Mario Kart 64 changes once, for a reason I can no longer recall. (I mean it only came out……27 years ago!?!)
Cyberpunk 2077
Max Payne 3.
Omori does this based on story progress
Days gone, the bike shows any upgrade you did
Days gone has the menu bike be your ingame bike, which is neat if you are in the endgame and have it tuned from a piece-of-shit thing to a respectable apocalypse motorcycle
my own favorite is Smash Bros in this regard – unlocked fighters are added to the background of the title until you unlocked all fighters – really nice touch
really old, but Pokemon games – they add menu options during the story (Pokedex being the most obvious, but other options got added as well)
XCOM 2
The Metro franchise does this
The last of us adds a knife
Omori
Hollow Knight changes based on your progression/the endings you got
Lies of P
Sea of Stars
Just cause 4 has a dynamic menu, but not tied to story progression, the background of the main menu is near where you closed the game las time, and when you hit continue it just closes the menu and the game continues, no loading screen
Bravely default had a cool minor change after a certain plot twist.
Mega Man X series, boss selection
Defeating some bosses have an effect on other bosses’ stages and a visual effect on the world map.
For instance, in __Mega Man X__ if you defeat Storm Eagle, his aircraft then crashes into the power plant, which renders Spark Mandril’s stage without power.
Protoype 2 based on where u were when you last saved your game.
Bravely Default (3DS), only one change, after a key twist, but it’s great
Outer Wilds’ main menu slowly changes to reflect things in the story you usually do not learn the significance of until very late in a playthrough.
Resident Evil Village
Xenoblade 2 gradually changes its main menu based on the progression of the furthest save. Seeing the screenshots would basically be spoilers.
Lies of P.
Metro exodus
Resident Evil Village, updates the main menu as you play through the story, it’s probably one of my favourite
Life is strange, iirc you get to see a different main menu approaching the end
Mgsv shows snake in the main menu so you see him with all the gear you have equipped
Assassins Creed Odyssey changes as you eliminate more of the main assassination targets.
Final Fantasy 15 changes in a very subtle way once you beat the game.
