Xbox Live New Avatars Release Date??

Renoxius · Jan 4, 2018

I was just wondering if there is any information on when the new Avatars for Xbox Live will be live. I know Mike Ybarra tweeted that it will be 2018, but that's the last information I can find online

New Xbox Avatars Release

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist with the issue, it looks like you'd like to use the new avatar system on the console. If you'd like to access the new avatars all that needs to be done is to make sure that the console is up to date. Here's a
link on updating the Xbox One. I hope the information provided helps fix the issue. Please let us know how it goes.

Happy gaming!

New Xbox Avatars Release

Hello,

I was informed the new xbox avatars have been released, and did some research to find that claim to be true. I also heard that you were greeted with a prompt to create the new avatars when booting up your xbox.

The prompt has not appeared for me (or I might've missed it) and am wondering if there is another way to create the new xbox avatars? I cant seem to find anyone asking this question so I thought I would ask it myself. I currently have the xbox original avatar
app downloaded and think that may be the problem and reason why I can not get the new xbox avatar app.

Thanks.

As far as I know, there hasn't been any word yet. Last I heard was fall 2017.

I wish there was more to do with our avatars on Xbox Live. They were pretty good at supporting them during the 360 days, with community type games you could use your avatar for. But it seems like since they released the new upgraded avatars there hasn't
been much support. Here's hoping they fix that with the Series X release.

Yes I still have it. The Xbox Live message reads, in summary:

Thank you for pre ordering shadow of the tomb raider. we will send a code for your lara croft avatar outfit shortly after the release of xbox avatars. as a bonus, also a code for free lara bow prop.

I know the new avatars released a couple weeks ago, so I assume I just have to wait a little longer.

Thank goodness Avatars where a DAY ONE Xbox Live Feature implemented on Xbox 1 (unlike voice messages, change dash background, etc). So I don't see Microsoft getting rid of Avatars anytime soon even though some may disagree and think they're a waste of time
or too grown up to have them.

"Xbox Avatars are avatars and characters that represent users of the Xbox Live service on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles, Windows 10, and Windows 10 Mobile.[1] Avatars debuted on the Xbox 360 as part of the "New Xbox Experience" system update
released on November 19, 2008."

Hopefully all of our current avatar gear will transfer over. I have a limited edition Slim Jim shirt that I do not want to lose lol.

I think that's the plan. You've got to be able to snap in to it!!

Hopefully the Original avatar items will transfer over to the new Avatar.

However, currently we only have the options to choose which avatar appears on Xbox Live. We can choose to either use the New 'Xbox Avatar' or switch back to the 'Xbox Original Avatar'.

It's quite possible that on public release we'll be able to use one or the other.
