Microsoft decides to shut down Xbox Avatar Editor due to low usage

Microsoft announced that it will close the Xbox Avatar Editor (Xbox Avatar Editor) for Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Winodws starting from January 9, 2025, mainly due to low usage.

What’s a little interesting is that the original avatar (Xbox Origin Avatar), which is an earlier generation than this avatar, is not affected. The corresponding Xbox 360 games can still continue to run, and players can also continue to edit on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. These incarnations.

In addition, avatars purchased after November 1, 2023 will be fully refunded after the app is closed.

Microsoft further expanded the service content of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate last week, allowing subscribers to play some purchased games in the cloud. More playable games will be added in the future, and devices supporting this feature are expected to be added to Apps on Xbox consoles and Xbox PC.
