Halo 3! Xbox Live Arcade! Kinect Sports! The Xbox 360 remains a golden era for Microsoft’s gaming machines – and you will soon be able to relive it on Xbox Series X/S, by restoring your retro Xbox 360 gamerpic.
To date, your small, outdated Xbox 360 gamerpic has been lost to the mists of time if you set a larger, swankier gamerpic on newer platforms.
But now, by popular demand, Microsoft is testing an option to revive your Xbox 360 gamerpic and set it as your current avatar image on new consoles.

Xbox engineering lead Eden Marie detailed the new feature last night, as it began rolling out to a small group of testers in the Xbox Series X Alpha Skip Ahead group.
Images show your classic gamerpic – whatever it was set to the last time you used an Xbox 360 – now as an option to choose from via the Xbox Series X/S gamerpic menu.
It’s worth noting a couple of things. Firstly, this option will only let you pick your Xbox 360 gamerpic. To change whatever this is, you’ll still need an Xbox 360 handy to log into. Also, perhaps obviously, this option will only be available if you had an Xbox 360 gamerpic in the first place.
