First introduced with the Xbox 360 in 2005, gamerpics were pictures that a user could choose as their profile picture to represent their profile when playing on Xbox Live.

Players could choose from a small number of gamerpics that came included with their console or download additional gamerpics from the Xbox Marketplace. Lots of additional packs were available to download, most packs were from games such as Halo, Minecraft and even Grand Theft Auto V. Other gamerpics included ones from sporting teams and TV shows. Some packs were included with games when being purchased.

In 2013 when the Xbox One was released, gamerpics once again made a return. This time even more were included with the console at launch. Over time more and more gamerpics were added to the Xbox One as new games were released. There are currently over 500 gamerpics available for selection on the Xbox One.

Original images for the Xbox One were actually chosen in a contest Microsoft held leading up to the consoles launch. Entrants had to design and create a gamerpic which were then voted on and the final 100 were made available as options. Everyone that successfully had a picture chosen won an Xbox One controller.

As well as being able to choose from the hundreds of already available options, on Xbox One users that have an Avatar can also take pictures with them and then set that as their gamerpic.

In July 2017, a System Update was released that allowed players to upload their own image to use as a gamerpic on the Xbox One.
