It’s been a very long time because Xbox Avatars seemed like a huge offer, and to be truthful, we hardly ever see anybody speaking about them nowadays. That’s eventually why Microsoft is revealing today that the Xbox Avatar Editor is getting ceased.
On January 9th, 2025, that app (including the Avatar design you see in the image above) will no longer be offered. If you’ve developed an Avatar utilizing the app, it’ll likewise no longer exist, in addition to any products that you might have bought.
Microsoft states the thinking is because of “low engagement with the program”, which enables Team Xbox to concentrate on “providing other gamer experiences” rather. If you occur to have actually purchased any products for your avatar because November 1st of 2023, you ought to be getting an automated refund for them after the Xbox Avatar Editor app has actually been gotten rid of.

These are still functional on Xbox 360 and in particular video games (like Doritos Crash Course), which will continue for the foreseeable future.

To do this, go to your profile, struck the “modification gamerpic” button, produce a brand-new one, and choose “take a photo of my Avatar”. It’ll be disappearing permanently quickly, so it may be worth getting an image for the history books!
