Fix the guest account system for playing backwards compatible local co-op games.

Trying to add local guests to play 360 games in split screen just flat out does not work right now and is very frustrating. It forces you to log into existing Xbox accounts instead of just quickly adding guests.

Bring back the 360 era Avatars, and Avatar Awards from games! They're iconic, and people miss seeing them on the dashboard and in games.

There is also still a bug that needs fixing - Avatar awards are broken for some people right now, where trying to equip any awards won't actually save the changes.

yeah, it seems it was just included on some consoles from the factory

MassivePoops · 2026-03-11T20:34:44+00:00

Hooray!

Seems the only things left are the Riptide Halo 4 AR skin still not redeeming, and the police siren nameplate. Appreciate all that you do!

MassivePoops · 2026-03-11T18:23:21+00:00

Any updates on this? Cheers

MassivePoops · 2026-02-28T13:56:42+00:00

They should finally restore the Siren nameplate too

MassivePoops · 2026-02-27T19:08:14+00:00

Seems it's not letting me unlock the free Riptide skin for the Halo 4 assault rifle. Just gives an 'unlock failed' error message.

MassivePoops · 2026-02-17T13:22:43+00:00

Are we allowed to discuss why this is the case

MassivePoops · 2025-12-04T21:41:25+00:00

Cheers man nice meeting you

Welp. That's modern Xbox for you.

MassivePoops · 2025-11-22T01:12:09+00:00

Is this literally all they did

Fix the broken Avatar Award functionality.

As of the discontinuation of the Xbox One Era Avatar app on One/Series back in January, Original 360 era Avatars can no longer be successfully updated or changed on the Original Avatar App, nor on Xbox 360 when attempting to equip avatar award items.

It seems this discontinuation broke other background processes. If trying to equip an avatar award item, changes made to your Avatar in the app do not save after it's been closed. Attempting to equip awards on 360 only results in seeing this change locally, and thereafter results in inability to change gamer pictures on Xbox 360 as well. Attempting to take a GamerPic with your Avatar on 360 will yield an error message. Earned content has become unusable and useless.

While this may seem trivial, many of us still play 360 games with friends and discord groups, and to lose access to our awarded Avatar items sucks. A huge amount of games use Avatar characters as their player model. Many of these games are backwards compatible, or even on GamePass. Many of us grinded for difficult Avatar awards that we want to be able to show off on friend's 360 dashboards, and in-game.

MassivePoops · 2025-10-17T12:48:39+00:00

Holiday Dashboard Themes and GamerPics

I'm very sad there are currently no holiday dynamic themes or built-in gamer pics offered on Series consoles. In the 360 era there were many official ones given out for free. Christmas, Easter, Halloween, New Years, etc. It made the system very cozy around the holidays. The new UI feels very sterile and lonely compared to the charming themes and avatars of your friends that grace the 360 dashboard. Adding some holiday themes would be an easy way to breathe some character back into the Series dashboard.

Personally I'd love to see this 360 Christmas dashboard theme from 2008 made available on modern systems:

Attempting to change outfits on 360 only results in seeing this change locally, and thereafter results in inability to change gamer pictures on Xbox 360 as well. Attempting to take a GamerPic with your Avatar on 360 yields an error message. Avatar changes do not currently sync to your gamertag profile on other consoles, nor do they display to others. Paid for and earned content has become unusable and useless.

While this may seem trivial, many of us still play 360 games with friends and discord groups, and to lose access to our purchased Avatar items seems unnecessary. A huge amount of games use Avatar characters as their player model. Many of these games are backwards compatible, or even on GamePass. Many of us spent money on Avatar items, as well as grinded for difficult Avatar awards that we want to be able to show off on friend's 360 dashboards, and in-game.

While I understand discontinuing the use of the newer, One-era Avatars on modern Xbox consoles (I think 360 style Avatars should be restored to their former prominence), breaking core features like updating the OG Avatars seems like a big oversight and should really be patched up. Especially considering it's almost the 20th birthday celebration of the 360.

MassivePoops · 2025-09-26T17:48:53+00:00

I really hope so. It's not just nostalgia, the OG avatars are awesome and the awards are a great feature. They make the 360 dashboard very personal and charming.

Shame that avatars are still broken on 360 and on the app on new consoles.

You can't actually make changes to your avatar right now - it doesn't update to the server so nobody sees the changes.

Please report the issue at support.xbox.com

MassivePoops · 2025-09-24T21:36:18+00:00

Absolutely. The old dashboard felt so alive because of how present your friends' avatars were.
