  1. $10 for a gamertag???


    When I was 8 I used my one gamertag change and I made my name Fortnite man369, and now I'm regretting it 7 years later, I really want to change my username because that's how it shows in all games and I hate it, why can't you just use and in-game name and counteract you Xbox name like COD, I find it stupid that you need to spend $10 to change it, people with money don't care and they can afford that, but lower income families that hurts them, expecialy when their child makes a stupid name. Most apps use a 90 day or 9 weeks wait to change a username not a payment, people are just as likely to stick with their names with a 90 day wait than a $10 change, plus they realize they don't want that username or they really like it over the 90 day period. I just don't get why the price is so high, I'm 15 and I don't have $10 to be throwing around at stupid decisions I made when I was 8, I asked my parents but they say pay for it yourself. And for lower income families that $10 can be the difference between a meal and no meal, $5 wouldn't be horrible but still pricey. But $10 is just outrageous. It would be better if they gave you one username change per year or 2 then spending $10 to just fix a costly mistake I made as an 8 year old and have gotten teased about the username and picked on because of it, because Fortnite man369 is a horrible username, but still better than Runawayeel1489, but I've had this username for almost 6-7 years now and have regretted it for the past 2-3 years. I get this is to make people think about their user, but $10 isn't gonna stop people from making stupid users and changing them a week later, a more sense full way is allowing them to change it every 2 years, this would require more thought as this is going to be the user your stuck with for two years. I get Microsoft is all about the money, but this is outrageous and exploit full, along with downright stupid and a massive scam, because anyone who can fling $10 around ain't going to care expecialy when it's their parents buying it those people can change it like every week if they want to.

    With this $10 fee instead of making people think about the usernames It makes people realize how stupid Microsoft is and I actually causes more people to quit Microsoft and switch to other platforms, and also this makes people stuck with stupid usernames they made 20 years ago because they can't afford to pay $10 for gamertag now if you make it $2.50 or $5 it won't be bad It's not that hard to pay $2.50 but it's harmful to pay $10 because that can be the difference between your next meal.

    Well technically free name changes are rare whoever told you otherwise is wrong.

    Only steam provides it

    Every platform.like phone pc games many mmorpg games and consoles charge

    10 dollars is cheap

    Considering you have to pay hundreds to do it in real life and names should always be a serious consideration

    It's also to prevent people from abusing the system with bad names

    Hello! My name is Mario and I welcome you to the Microsoft Xbox Community!

    I can understand your concern and please don't worry I am here to help you.

    Unfortunately that is the only tool that Microsoft offers to change the gametag. I'm sorry I can't give you better news. You can only change it for free once.

    In the following link you can leave your comment or suggestion to send it directly to the Xbox team: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

    Please keep in mind that this is a public forum. I am an Xbox gamer like you and I am happy to help you with my knowledge. Unfortunately, I am unable to access your internal account information.

    Xbox Gamertag $10

    Yes you get one freebee if you will on changing your gamertag. I changed mine a few years ago and waited a year and then tried to change it again and it didn't charge me. But unfortunately in your case if you wanted to change it back it would be
    $10.
    That's a bummer. Thank you!
