Avatars have been included in the latest Windows 10 preview build.

Avatars, designed by Rare, were first introduced on the Xbox 360 as part of the New Xbox Experience, or NXE.

Surely you remember Avatars? The Xbox 360 feature that was all the rage for about half a year?

The cute and cuddly little guys are part of the new Avatars app on Windows 10.

Xbox’s Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb has promised more information on Avatars soon.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
