Apparently, it was possible to do so sometime before July 2015. In January 2022 Forza Support confirmed there is currently no way to change to a custom profile picture. It seems that the only pictures we can use are the Xbox Avatar profiles or those from the in-app selection.

I’m not trying to spread hate or anything but I’d rather not have my profile picture as the lgbtq flag, but I don’t know how to change it.

I was upset to no being able to change my Avatar on the forum because I don’t own Xbox 360 anymore and it seem like the only way to change it.
I finaly found a way to do it on Series S using the Xbox Original Avatars app.
In the app take a photo of your Avatar and use it for your Xbox profil. When this is done, turn off your console for some times (turned off mine for an hour). After that you can change again your profile picture to your taste.

Obviously it’s tied to our gamertag profile thing but I don’t have that thing anymore. I’ve changed it but it hasn’t changed here at these forums. We stuck with them?

Would love to be able to change my profile pic, it’s stuck on a picture of my avatar I had about 8 years ago

Hi,
Is there a way to update/change my profile picture on the forza forum ? I haven’t find the way to do it. I have a 10 year more or less profile.
Thanks

I know this probably isn’t the right place to post this but not really sure where else.
The display picture on my profile for the Forza Motorsport Forums is really old and hasn’t been my Xbox profile picture in years. Is there a way to change it? Sick of seeing it there!

Sorry, stupid question, but cant seem to find anything about it. How do you add your picture to your profile? Mine is just a boring grey dude.
Thanks
