Say goodbye to avatars on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series consoles.
Xbox will get rid of avatars and the Xbox Avatar Editor app on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series consoles over “low engagement”, it has recently revealed.
Avatars will be removed from the above platforms from 10 January 2025 here in Australia.
“This means players will no longer be able to access the Xbox Avatar Editor app on Xbox consoles or PCs, including their Xbox Avatars and any purchased avatar items,” Microsoft said. “This will not affect the Xbox Original Avatars, as these will continue to work in supported Xbox 360 games, and you will still be able to edit your Xbox Original Avatars inside the Xbox Original Avatars app on Xbox consoles and Windows devices.”
The company blamed the removal on “low engagement and our shift in focus towards delivering other player experiences”.
