It's a cool idea, i'm more curious about what they'll be able to implement with these avatars, like 1vs100, and other stuff.

Ah shit. Still in beta. Worked myself up to level 10 in just 6 months but it's the end of the line without an invite. :(

Hope they implement them well and have ideas for avatars.

They need a version of Nintendoland but for the new Avatars. Throw in a kart racing game, 1v100, tennis, jetski, snowboarding etc.

Hmm for some reason I thought they looked better than this in the announcements. Looks like a good upgrade from the old ones still.

New avatars look slick, now all we need is Avatar games. Underrated feature but I loved using my avatar in certain XBLA games. Bomberman Live Battlefest, the Kefling games, Joy Ride Turbo, Motorsport Madness, etc. all allowed you to use your own avatar instead of "generic" in-game characters, which felt great. I can see the potential in this even for Disney/Pixar games, imagine being able to create your own avatar and use it in a Frozen, Moana, etc. world. They gotta build upon this.

And of course 1v100, avatar kart racers and an avatar Battle Royale, thanks.

I don't have an Xbox but love how neat the Avatars look. I remember on the 360 days they were pretty prominent when scrolling through the dash (back when everything was in that scroll wheel style). Is that still the case or did they go the Switch route and make them less prominent?

They only appear in a Couple of places in the dashboard now, profile pages and achievement comparisons.

Call me crazy. But I think it would be neat if PlayStation teamed up with Bitmoji for an Avatar system for PlayStation. It would be less work for a Sony and Bitmoji's already have 3D models.

Please MS, make some Avatar games, 1v100 BR style. Racing, bball, football... The possibilities are endless.

I sincerely hope it's not mandatory.
I've never been into these Avatars games, but I'll try them if they're out on Gamepass I guess.


On the other hand, I'd love to see my Halo 4 reveal Chief's avatar costume again.

This is the most confusing post I have seen in months.

Avatars have been on XB1 since forever and have not been mandatory.
Why would you want them on GamePass....what exactly does GamePass have to do with anything?

You can go see your Halo 4 Chief Avatar costume right now.

It feels like you are really confused or lost?

Hopefully this means that we will hear more about "Xbox Careers" soon and hopefully the rewards are not just Avatar stuff.

Aww that's actually really disappointing, I have so many awesome avatar awards unlocked from various 360 games that no way do I want to lose it all just to use the new look avatars! Will they not transfer all the gear over at a later date? I thought they were all about back compatibility!

I remember avatars were mandatory on the Xbox 360. So I don't want it to be forced on people who don't wish to use it on the XBX.

If Avatar games were on Gamepass, I'd try it out.

That's all I'm saying.

Looks like a major diverse feature is not represented at all: Age. Why do I have to look like a ten year old wearing a costume (pirate)? At least give us some wrinkles like the old avatars already had.

The beta is currently up through Insider Content on the Xbox Insider Hub.

It's even worse than expected. If this is what they come up with after almost a year of delay:

- no aging options
- not enough hair options
- hair glitches through bodies
- inclusive designs magically disappear if you wear actual trousers/shirts (you can wear a sport short if you only have one leg and that's it)
- no import of existing outfits/gear
- no scars

I'd say it is worse than old avatars in every way except clothes modifications (colors). Nah, I'm gonna stick with my LeChuck suit and parrot, the damn things cost me $10. I won't give them up after 10 years.

Do you know what Beta means?

In our day and time? Demo. As I said, it's been delayed almost a year. If this is the result, that's just sad.

So you think this is a demo?
Even better for the point Im trying to make.

But looking beyond your flippant response this is a Beta, it wont have all the features and instead of insulting the devs do what the Insider program was designed for and give feedback.

How many Avatar programs have you developed for you to be confident that these result are sad and not enough?

They certainly look better, but I'm not sure if I prefer them over the regular ones.

I hope they bring this to PC soon. I kinda missed my Avatar. My dude is probably rocking the ODST shirt and 343 Guilty Spark prop.

Always good to see so many people pining for 1vs100. Come on Microsoft. Far more people want it than Battletoads.

Avatars are awesome and these new models look very good. The thing is, we need games that use them. Where are the Doritos Crash Course, 1 vs 100, Joy Ride... ???

I was surprised MS didn't show this at E3, good for them. I hope something is coming out to use these avatars besides just for profiles.

Will probably change it when it releases and more options are added.
