Microsoft Survey Hints at “Virtual Social Setting” and Earning Gear In-Game for Avatars

A new Microsoft survey going around suggests that Microsoft is going to be making their Avatars service a bit more fun and interesting soon. Since the New Xbox Experience launched, Avatars have still remained simple scenery other than in a few games which actually allowed use of Avatars – Scene It? Box Office Smash, Uno, etc.

The new survey asks questions such as if you would like to earn gear for your Avatar just like you would earn achievements, or if you’d like a “virtual” social setting for your Avatars to roam around in (such as PlayStation Home), or if you’d like more games that will let you play as your Avatar.

The survey’s pretty interesting, and it’s good to see Microsoft planning on evolving the service some more. Take a look at the survey below.
