Xbox One tests Windows 10 support and new avatar features in preview

A few people are getting a taste of the Xbox One’s future.

Those in the Xbox One preview program can now access a new Avatars app from within the Xbox app on Windows 10. This will allow them to customize, dress up, and buy new items for their digital counterparts.

Preview users can also send Microsoft diagnostic information about their PC via the Test streaming option. This will help Microsoft prepare for the eventual Xbox One-to-Windows 10 streaming capability that will come with the new operating system.

You can also turn your system on and off from Windows 10 devices. You can see a full list of the new features currently in preview over on Microsoft’s blog, Xbox Wire.
