LittleBigPlanet’s Sackboy customization, Dreams’ full creation suite, and Gran Turismo’s livery editor all allow players to craft unique looks that can be captured and (with workarounds) set as an avatar.

The avatar store on the PS5 web interface is often criticized for poor search and categorization—a failure of the tool’s usability.
