How to change Xbox one avatar gender!?!?

XOHOE420 · Jan 3, 2018

When choosing my avatar it only gave me options for a male. There were 2 empty spaces where the female choice should have been but it wouldn’t allow me to chose them. So how do I change the gender of my avatar or would I have to make a new account or something?

How do I change my avatars gender and features on Xbox One, it has disappeared after the update?

My avatar is male and I want to change it to female, since I am female, but the option to change the gender and features like mouth shape, eye type, hair colour etc, none of them are there any more, all I can do is change the clothing etc. Why has this feature
been removed post update? Will it work if I go on to Xbox 360 and change the gender/features there, will it update my Xbox One avatar? Will this feature be added to Xbox One again soon? It's a bit annoying having to switch consoles to do something so simple.

Is there any way to check what gender I used to sign up for Xbox live?

Changing the information on windows live id will NOT effect your gamertag. However, I do not believe you have the option to select gender when creating your gamertag. Regardless, it would not effect your account. The only thing I can think of is the gender
of your avatar - which is for selfexpression... and the only restriction is gender has to match avatar items. But you can change the avatar gender.

There's no need to create a new account; you simply have to create a new avatar in place of your current one.

In the "Xbox Avatars" app on the Xbox One (or Windows 10), you'll have to go to the settings tab (bottom), and select "Create new avatar".

NOTE: This will completely reset your avatar. Purchases won't be lost, but certain gender-specific items won't be equippable if you choose the other gender.

Hey there Shy! The changing of your Avatar's gender is exactly the cause here. When you purchase some Avatar gear, it's for only one gender. If you change later, that content will not be available on the new Avatar. It will be there if you ever change back
though, so it's not gone forever.

Regarding your new Avatar, any items that are for both genders, like some props, will still work. You may have to repurchase some content to get the version for the proper gender. I hope this helps explain the situation. Let us know if you have any further
questions. Thanks!

You could take this to the Wish List forum... Since the two genders' items are listed separately, they are separate purchases. (Let's assume that Microsoft is wanting you to pick the avatar gender that matches your actual gender, which changes for
few people.) At least some Avatar Awards give both genders' version when you unlock them.

I believe you actually have to delete your avatar and start over. Don't worry, all your purchased content will still be there, but if you change the gender of your avatar, any specific items to the other gender will no longer be usable.
