In a significant shake-up for Xbox users, Microsoft has announced that it will be discontinuing support for Xbox One-era Avatars starting January 9, 2025. This change means that players will have to migrate to the Xbox Original Avatars app to customize their gamerpics after this date.

For those still fond of their Xbox Avatars, fear not! You can continue to update your gamerpic using the Xbox Avatar Editor app until the cut-off date. After January 9, 2025, users will need to follow a new process to update their images.

To change your avatar-themed gamerpic, simply:

1. Launch the Xbox Original Avatars app.

2. Press the Menu button.

3. Select "Take a photo."

4. From this point, you can personalize your avatar by adjusting its animation and background.

5. Once satisfied with your creation, press the View button and select "Save as gamerpic."

This transition highlights Microsoft's ongoing effort to refresh and enhance the gaming experience on their platform. Additionally, the company has been introducing more dynamic avatar features and customization options, so players can expect exciting new ways to express themselves.

As Xbox moves forward, many are curious about what features will come next. Will the new avatar system integrate with upcoming Xbox titles? How will this affect social interactions among players?
