Xbox Games Showcase presented a variety of new offerings. An extensive update to MS Flight Simulator, fresh worlds in Fall Guys, a sneak peek at upcoming titles like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Valheim, and new day-one releases. However, one noticeable change for all Xbox users is the introduction of new Gamerpics to their profiles.
There are now nine new Gamerpics, all vibrant and eye-catching. From the Xbox button on a green background to an astronaut with the same button in place of a face, along with some abstract images and the adorable panda with an Xbox gamepad. These new additions enhance the existing collection of Gamerpics. The beloved bubblegum Gamerpic from the Xbox 360 era has also made a return. Its nostalgic value has resonated with many players, and its popularity may rise once more.
The response to these new Gamerpics on Twitter has been a mix of delight and nostalgia. Some users reminisce about their Xbox 360 days, while others share self-made versions of the old Gamerpics to give them a fresh look. While this innovation may not directly impact gameplay, it has stirred emotions within the community.
The new Gamerpics will be available soon through a system update. The selected gamerpic will be visible on both your Xbox profile and your broader Microsoft profile, regardless of the device you use. While this may seem like a minor enhancement that does not affect gameplay or setup time, it will reduce the repetition of the same Gamerpics in online gatherings.
