Interesting that so many are round. 🤔
Cool picks from first party games. I haven't changed my avatar since I had my current account, might change it now though.
Funny the avatars for Gravity Rush after what they had done with the game servers...
Knack of course
@whizzkidd Let it go!
Ratchet and clank it is!
I don't understand why they've never uploaded any PlayStation icons or Symbols.
PS, Triangle, Square etc etc.
@Thesnipergecko Yeah, that seems like an obvious set of avatars really!
I always wanted a Nathan Drake one. Yes🎉
They're cool but not as cool as my Honoka from DOA 5 one. If I had to pick one though, I'd be Raven.
Ratchet or Daxter for me!
Shame it's not PS2 era Ratchet but the Crack in Time model (still fine!)
@get2sammyb Have a word Sammy. I'm sure you must know someone over at Sony HQ.
Lovely, I just changed my avatar to one of the gentle giants from Shadow of the Colossus.
Bloodborne Hunter is the one for me
I’ll take Jak and Daxter
Ape escape! Now there's a game I'd happily see reimagined on current/ next gen consoles
Weird how most of them are round, but I'll let it go because there are Jak and Daxter ones finally! These all are really good, but it needs more Ghost of Tsushima.
Still rocking my 20p Stay Puft from ghostbusters.
There's no single white toro icon like my previous one, now there's only 2 toro icon.
Edit: Or it's only an addition, so my previous icon still there?
@whizzkidd Yeah, I wish sony didn't turn off the server since it can't be that expensive running the server. I hope there's 60 fps patch for gravity rush 2 😃
No one is gonna acknowledge the Puppeteer avatars?
Just me? Okay...
I technically have a literal custom avatar already (same as here and on NL), but it's admittedly tempting to set a Kat pic at long last.
Raven just replaced the Aloy avatar I've had for over 2 years
Enjoy the Gravity Rush avatars before they take them down in a year.
/s
@get2sammyb Round avatars confirmed for PS5?
Looks like Kat is now becoming my avatar.
Finally Kat is here!
Still got Luisa Fortuna from the first Red Dead Redemption who incidentally looks like my character from Red Dead Online.
You guys see how they are all circle PFP....remember the UI leak where the guy had a black controller...in that leak the Main Profile Icons were circles as well....I think this confirms that the leak is true.
@The-GoldenGod66 Also...the reason they added all these could be because we can not use non circle avatars anymore on the PS5. This is just speculation.
As long as I can keep my day one Vita avatar I’ll be happy haha.
What's up with the scratched out one in the top left corner among the Last of Us 2 ones?
I hope in some way these avatars somehow leads to a Gravity Rush 3 🤞
I've had the same Batman avatar for the past 5 years now, but I instantly changed the Lady Maria from Bloodborne as soon as I got home
Where's Fetch?
@Wardenknight133 Nah that game is awesome, good to see some love for it.
@ApostateMage still using my Bonnie Avatar from Red Dead Redemption, hasn't changed since 2013
ok I think a new Jak and Daxter coming . They keep IP in the light so much
Bring back Ape escape already!
How can the new controller not be a great excuse to make a new one?!
And yeah... for them to still have these Jak avatars means Sony still cares about the IP.
I'll stick with black and white kitty
I’m still using my black & white Halo Master Chief avatar so I’m good. LOL
I can't see a life of black tiger avatar. Surely this is bit of an oversight!?
Heh... It's kind of sad seeing Jak here, his look hasn't been updated in over a decade and a new game is long over due, maybe this time Jak 3 will get a proper follow-up.
My favourite has got to be the Spider-Man: Miles Morales one. So, so clean.
