The renewed Avatar Editor arrives on Xbox

The Redmond company has renewed the Xbox interface on different occasions while the avatars have advanced at the same time with few changes. In turn, little by little they have been losing prominence on the Microsoft platform, so a prompt update was expected to bring them up to date.And they just did that, with an update that gives avatars a whole new look.
