Back at E3 last year, Microsoft announced major changes for the Xbox Avatar system to allow for further and more diverse and inclusive customization options. According to The Verge, the new Avatar 2.0 update will launch for everyone in April, though, as usual, Xbox Insider testers will get to try them first. What's more, Xbox employees are already using the new avatars, according to the report.

As announced previously, the new system won't restrict players to wearing a particular gender's clothing. Anything available can be worn by any Avatar. At E3, Microsoft showed an amputee character and another in a wheelchair. Microsoft explained last year that the new Avatars made with "inclusivity absolutely in mind."
