**Hello Epic Games Team and Community,**

I would like to suggest adding an option for users to upload custom profile picture avatars on the Epic Games Store platform.

**Why this feature would be a valuable addition:**

1. **Personalization:** It allows players to better express their identity and style across their profile and friends list.

2. **Community Engagement:** Custom avatars are a standard feature on most gaming platforms (like Steam, PlayStation, etc.), and bringing this to EGS would greatly enhance the overall social experience.

3. **Platform Completeness:** Combining custom avatars with current badges and status indicators would make profiles feel much more vibrant and complete.

Thank you for your hard work and for continuously improving the platform!
