Important Build Notes

Avatar Editor

We are releasing an update to Insiders in the Alpha Skip Ahead, Alpha, and Beta rings! This build includes updates to Avatar rendering as well as other improvements to the Avatar Editor user experience. Please check out the new navigation animations as well as the newly released collection of moods and props!

Avatar Store

The first build of the new Avatar Store is arriving today for Alpha Skip Ahead and Alpha rings on Xbox One! Starting later today, you’ll find an Avatar Store button on the main menu of the Avatar Editor. You’ll be able to browse and search the content catalog and preview items on your own Avatar within the store. We have a small collection of content in the store right now, and as our partners create more content, you’ll see it appear in the store in real time. We have more planned for the Avatar Store, but we’re eager to start receiving your early feedback.

Please be aware that any content you purchase during preview will be available to you throughout the Insider preview and after the feature ships to the public. Purchases made in the new Avatar Store will be included on your Microsoft account’s purchase history. To celebrate the launch of the new store, we’ve included a free Xbox Avatar shirt celebrating the Insider program! Get it quickly because once the Avatar Store ships to the general public, this shirt will no longer be available.

Avatar Editor on Windows 10

We’ve mentioned before that the Avatar Editor is a Universal Windows Platform application and now we’re ready to start collecting feedback from Windows 10 users! If you’re in the Alpha Skip Ahead, Alpha, or Beta rings on Xbox One, you’ll find a new quest in the Windows 10 version of the Xbox Insider Hub that will tell you how to download and provide feedback for the Avatar Editor on your Windows 10 device. Please note that the Avatar Store will not appear on any version of the Avatar Editor on Windows 10 at this time.
