Avatars have always been an important part of the Xbox gaming experience and the Avatar Editor App lets players customize their personal avatars to their liking unfortunately the developers are taking it down permanently.
Over the weekend, Xbox subtly announced that the app would be discontinued on January 9, 2025. Users will no longer be able to access Xbox Avatars or any of the avatar products they have purchased due to the termination of support for Xbox Avatar Editor.
The simpler Xbox Original Avatars will still function in compatible Xbox 360 games and remain available through the Xbox Original Avatars app, according to the developers. Poor user engagement has been cited as the driving factor behind this move and it is only fair for the developers to take it down.
Do not worry as the recent purchases will all be refunded as confirmed in their statement. While it may not have been a smashing success like it was expected, Xbox players sure had their fun with it.
