Change of classic gamertag after rushed change

Tostadorvolador · Dec 12, 2019

Hello, I just bought Halo MCC and rediscovered my old gamertag (Nev22) which I didn't like so I proceeded to change it.

I put my new option in which was , the page told that that name was too long since it had more than 12 characters so I just put Tosta.

I relaunched Halo MCC to discover that my name had the identification numbers in which I thought would be invisible and now I notice that could have been a valid option if I had put it in the personalized classic gamertag section of the page.

Would it be possible to just change the display name to ? (for free)

I was really excited to play but this just made me really sad.

The random numbers after your selected gamertag is the new style. Many games do not fully support this yet so the numbers show up more prominently than they should. This should be remedied soon. You won't be able to change your name again for free, but
you can look here for more information regarding your concerns. All of it is addressed here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/profile/gamertag-update-faq

Unfortunately, when you change your Gamertag, each account is only allowed one change for free. After that, all changes will cost $9.99 per change.

So you said I can change my classic gamertag. How do I change that after already changing my gamertag or do I have to change my entire gamertag again to change the classic one?

I'm trying to change my classic gamertag which is the one you see in games. My classic gamertag got changed and my Xbox One and Xbox App gamertag stayed the same (the Xbox One gamertag is the ones they added with the new gamertag system).

My Xbox One gamertag is different to my in-game gamertag and I want my classic gamertag to be changed. You can only change your classic gamertag on the Xbox One console, I have tried using the other ways and you can only change your Xbox Gamertag, not your
classic gamertag.

The reason I want to change my classic gamertag is that the classic gamertag can be fifteen characters and the Xbox One gamertag can only be 12 characters. If I use the other ways to change my gamertag it limits me to 12 characters and sets both my gamertags
to that.
