How To Change PlayStation 4 Avatar

I am a big gamer. I know this because I own almost every console system made since the early 80’s. Yes, I still play these older systems. Combined with being a tech writer, gaming drives me to write How-To articles to help the gamer, especially if it can help in customizing your gaming experience. With the newer consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One, they allow you to customize some of the features. One of the features I want to go over with you is the Avatar. When gaming, you need to show your personality any way you can and with the right avatar, you can do that. I always like to say, if you can customize it then do it. So, I guess it is time for all of us to learn how we can show some attitude with our Avatar.
