Microsoft announced the closure of the Xbox Avatars editor in Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC from January 9 from its “low use”.
This means that from this date you can no longer access and edit your avatar and you will lose any cosmetic item you bought for them. Purchases from November 1, 2023 to January 9, 2025 will be compensated by users.
After January 9, Xbox avatars will also disappear from the profile pages, Microsoft reports.
It is important to keep in mind that all this refers to modern avatars that have been released in 2018 for the Xbox One, and this does not affect the original avatars that come from the Xbox 360. It is likely that they have not affected, because it is more integrated into the ecosystem of this console, eliminating them.
Redmond’s own company, in fact, said that “it will not affect the original Xbox avatars as they will continue to work in compatible Xbox 360 games, and you can continue to edit them from the original Xbox Avatars apps and Xbox devices with Windows.”
