How to Remove a Psn Avatar

Last Updated: April 14, 2022

You can edit your avatar in the PlayStation Network to make it invisible so it looks like it's missing. This wikiHow will teach you how to remove your PSN avatar by going through the PS Store and spending $0.99 on an invisible avatar that was first offered in 2016 as an April Fools joke. Unfortunately, there is no free method to delete or remove your PSN avatar.

Steps

1
Navigate to the PlayStation Store. You'll find the PS Store tile with the icon of a bag if you navigate all the way to the left of the main screen.
2
Navigate to Extras and press ✕. You'll find this in the third grouping of menu options on the left side of your screen, under "Games."
