Play Store To Soon Let You Create AI-Generated Gamer Profile Avatar

AI-generated avatars are lately getting a lot of traction across the gaming community. Google seems to be aware of that and is reportedly working on an AI avatar generator for the Google Play Store. The upcoming feature will allow generating a personalized avatar for your Play Games profile.

The Google Play Store will soon let you generate AI avatars for your Play Games profile

Folks over at Android Authority previously spotted evidence of Google working on an AI avatar generator when digging through the Play Store app’s version 44.9.19-29. While the feature is not available in the current Play Store beta release (version 45.0.21), the publication managed to get the AI avatar generator in action and highlighted it through a screen recording in a report published earlier today.

The AI avatar generator reportedly allows the creation of personalized avatars based on three parameters. Those parameters are character, background, and art style. In other words, you can generate your AI avatar from scratch, using multiple options available for all three parameters.

Some notable character options available within the AI avatar generator are Dragon, Fox, Cat, Dog, Octopus, Robot, Warrior, and more. As for the background, you’ll have the option to choose from Forest, Space, Beach, Desert, Underwater, Sparkle, etc. You can also pick from art styles like Comics, Anime, 3D Cartoons, Cinematic, and more to personalize your AI-generated avatar for your Play Games profile.

Here’s how generating an AI avatar would work

When Google releases the feature, tapping the pencil icon next to your profile image will open the AI avatar generator in the Play Games app. On the following page, you’ll be able to select your preferred character, background, and art styles. Next, AI will work its magic and generate an avatar that represents you in the virtual gaming world.

If you don’t like the AI-generated avatars, you can always refresh the selection and randomize the parameters. To do this, you’ll need to tap the buttons placed at the bottom of the screen. As a result, you’ll see different avatars generated by AI.

Currently, tapping the pencil icon in the stable version of the Play Games app only allows you to choose from preset characters and save them as the profile image. As seen in the video below, the AI avatar generator worked pretty well when tested. So, it’s almost ready. It’s only a matter of time before Google releases it.
