While very little news has been given on the progress of the new Xbox Avatars since theirinitial announcement several months ago, they did make a very brief appearance during yesterday’s Microsoft Developers Day presentation which can bestreamed here.

The appearance of the new Xbox Avatars happens within the opening montage and is only seen on screen for a few seconds. What is shown though is a new Xbox Avatar being displayed on the Xbox One’s Dashboard in much the same way that the current iterations are today (see above image).

These new digital characters will be noticeably more detailed than the current version and will feature greater customizability with skin tone, hair color, accessories, and even limbs. The new and improved Xbox Avatars are expected to roll out toXbox Oneowners in a system updatesometime in early 2018though no specific date has officially been given just yet. They will also be used within the Xbox app onWindows 10 devicesand smartphones.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
