  1. Cannot switch to my old gametag


    Hi there,

    for a while I bought the game minecraft (PC-Version). I played this game with my gametag "Harkuba". I also have a second gametag (dont know how why this is so) with the name "NaseKarton87415". Normale I could switch between these two tags so I can play minecraft. Since the newest update this is not possible any more so only my gametag "NaseKarton87415" is possible and I cannot play minecraft any more.

    The gametag "NaseKarton87145" is connected to the emailadress with which I bought the game.

    The Support from Minecraft could not help me. They told me that this is a problem with my microsoft account and I have to ask in this forum.

    I added two pictues so that you can see my old login (did not work any more) and the actual login.

    Cannot switch to my old gametag

    Well, maybe I dont tell exactly my problem. I try it with other words:

    I bought the game with my regular email adress. That ist the email adress I also use to login in my microsoft account and I still use this email adress.

    Somehow (and I dont know why it is so) I have now another gamertag but i still use the same email adress.

    Because of this, I cannot login in another way in my microsoft account.

    The game I bought (Minecraft) seems to be linked to my old gamertag.

    I hope that someone from microsoft can look in my account details and fix this problem, because it is not very cool to buy a game and than have no access to this game :(

    Greetings,

    Christoph

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    After migration to Microsoft, you can only play the game with the email / gamertag that purchased it. To play with the other one you'll need to purchase the game with it as well.

    Hope this helps

    Try to use the Microsoft account which you migrated the game to. That's the one that should work

    Dear Jesse,

    thanks for you advise, but I logged in with the emailadress with which I bought this game and cannot see it. This is my problem. It seems so that the gametag was changed but it is still the same email adress for my login.

    Hope you have another idea,

    greetings,

    Christoph
