Talking Point: How Much Do You Care About Creation Features In Your Xbox Games?

When it comes to character customisation in games, there are people who spend absolutely hours trying to create the perfect protagonist (and indeed, side-characters), while others tend to skip through and get to the main game ASAP.

Personally, I tend to fall into the latter category, although there are exceptions. I didn't spend that long building my character in Baldur's Gate 3, for example, but I did spend ages creating my own AEW universe in WWE 2K a few years ago, as well as designing a Space Jam-inspired expansion team (complete with Tune Squad jerseys!) in NBA 2K.

Look at Forza Horizon and Motorsport as well. Some people spend tens of hours every single week designing the perfect liveries for their cars, and the rest of us get to benefit by downloading their hard work. And of course, mods are creation features as well on Xbox these days - Starfield has already spawned so many great examples!

It's not just about character creation, but obviously that's still a big part of it. Ultimately, we're just interested to know how much you engage with these types of features in your Xbox games, and that includes things like photo modes, arena designers, level creators, audio editors... the list goes on. There are so many great ways to get creative on Xbox!
