    Can we please have more than 12 characters for our Gamertag?


    This stifles creativity by a huge amount. 12 is too few. The gamertag I use on every other service is ButterflyTsunami - 16 charactersWhy can't they change it from 12 to 16? Or 17, or 18. ???

    Not to mention that I still have the gamertag I made before this character limit was introduced. ChloeTsunami42 - 14 characters. So it used to be at least 14, and now it is 12? Like which committee of people that work at Xbox thought this was a good idea?

    Something is wrong with this update for gamertag custom. And i hate it.

    I don't understand. My gamertag with my old xbox live account have more characters than 12 characters.

    Less than 12 characters gamertag

    The limit of 12 characters just started last year. So if those gamertags were created before the new policy was put in place, they could have more than 12 characters.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I apologize but for Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S consoles there is nothing that we can do with Gamertag that is more than 12 characters long. According to Xbox Support: "Gamertags can be up to 12 characters long, including spaces. They can’t start with a number."

    The old limit was 15 characters so your old gamertag couldn't of been 16 characters long.

    You might still be able to change to a tag with more than 12 characters if you do it on a xbox 360 console unless they've fixed that workaround but other than that then you will have to stick with the 12 character limit.

    15 Character Gamertag

    Today more one user can have the same gamertag, for that the #0000 in front of gamertag like the Nick name of Discord For exemple. Because this, the gamertag is limited today for 15 character I tink
    Partially true. Gamertags can have up to 12 (or 13) characters, if they choose one that's already taken, then they will be assigned a suffix.

    "We’ve updated new Xbox gamertags to support a 12-character max, Unicode-based name of your choice, with an auto-generated suffix if the gamertag is shared. We now offer 13 different alphabets for gamers, which support more than 200 languages worldwide.

    New Xbox players or those who want to change their gamertag can claim one of their choice, up to 12 characters. If a gamertag is already taken, a suffix with numbers is attached to differentiate you from other people with the same gamertag. Suffixes
    are subtle so that the focus is on the name you chose, but they are always shown. "
