It has been reported that Microsoft has plans to make various improvements to the Xbox Avatars.
The report comes from a recent job listing posted by Microsoft that details some information on plans that Microsoft has for the Xbox Avatars:
“As we cross the threshold to a unified operating system and product experience across Microsoft, it is time to for Xbox avatars to also advance to the next level.
“Come with us, as we take Xbox avatars on their biggest adventure yet with higher fidelity and a bigger stage in new Xbox experiences. You will be part of the broader Xbox Experiences team, which owns the Xbox One Shell, and the Xbox experiences across console, desktop, slate, mobile, iOS, and Android.
“At Xbox we’re looking for a senior graphics engineer that will work with us to grow the avatar platform across all of our platforms, leveraging the power of Xbox One, the far reach of Windows, and the intimacy of touch on mobile devices.”
From the quotes, it would appear that Microsoft has ideas for the Xbox Avatars to make appearances on other Microsoft platforms, and for the Avatars to be advanced to a new undefined level.
Xbox Avatars made their debut back in 2008 when Microsoft launched the robust “New Xbox Experience” update for the Xbox 360. The Avatars did follow gamers to Microsoft’s newest system the Xbox One, but has lost the spotlight it had on the Xbox 360 and, at the moment, is more of a background feature.
Gamers will have to wait and see what exactly Microsoft has in store for it’s Avatars on Xbox One and beyond.
