  1. Can I change my Gamertag after accidentally picking it during the “check availability”


    Hi, I just learned of my free Gamertag change and while exploring different options of what my name could be changed to, and what is and isn’t available or has been used by others I selected an option thinking it would preview the new tag and instead selected it. Any help would be much appreciated!

    :)

    Hi, my name is Courtney and I would be happy to help.

    I understand the problem you are presenting, but before confirming the change of your Gamertag, it is shown first as it could be seen. I imagine that this is your case, that is, if you have not confirmed that your Gamertag is changed, this will not do it on its own.

    Best regards,
    Courtney.

    You know that isn't how you check right ?

    You search for the name in the xbox app

    If the name.is available it will be yours or if your name isn't unique you get hashtag.

    Gamertag question

    It may not be available right away, but shortly after you change your Gamertag the one you changed from will be available to be picked by another account.

    Gamertag not available after checking for availability

    This is strange. Today I bought Batman Arkham City for PC and was asked to log in to LIVE. I did that and I noticed that you could change the Gamertag from there as well. So I entered the excact same name that was first availible, then taken, yesterday.

    And today it worked for some reason. Does anyone know why this happened?

    Gamertag not available after checking for availability

    To preclude certain issues (including impersonation of others), variations of a gamertag that simply have spaces inserted or removed in between characters are considered to be the same gamertag. For instance "Gamertag1" is the same as "Gamerta g1". The
    only definitive way to check if a gamertag is available is by attempting to use that gamertag during sign-up or attempting to change to it via the gamertag change process.
