Xbox’s inclusive new avatars will head to Xbox Insiders this month and all users in April, a new report suggests.

Anonymous sources has told The Verge that the new avatars, first seen back in 2016, are being tested now for a full release next month.

The newly designed avatars will have more clothing options and body types available, alongside options to include prosthetic limbs or even simulate pregnancy. The avatars shown back in the day featured wheelchairs.

Microsoft has yet to comment on the report; we’ll update as more is known. Are you excited to potentially use these new avatar options 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.
