    Character limit on Xbox gamertag prevents me from using a name that is less than 15 characters


    Hello. I'm on PC and I've seen some thread posts saying it's still possible to change your gamertag to something that is less than 15 characters but more than 12. I can't seem to get this to work on PC. Does anybody have any solutions?

    :)

    Ya the limit is 15 still never changed but I don't think you realize what that is

    One 4 characters are reserved for hashtags

    Now if you mean trying to circumvent the system

    That's never a good idea

    Either way can't be done on a pc or a current xbox

    You can try Google.I'm.sure there are guides probably not a good idea once you find out what it takes it's.a lot.more.then 10 dollars I can tell you that

    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.

    The only way to achieve that was to change it on an Xbox 360, as those still use the old gamertag system. It was working a while ago, not sure if it still works in 2022. Other than that it isn't possible.

    Unable to Change Gamertag

    Update: If I try a gamertag with 14 or less characters, it seems to move forward. However the character limit is supposed to be 15 and the new gamertag I want has 15 characters. :-(

    Why only 12 alphabets gamertag please change it to 16 Because my last gamertag was of 13 and now I cannot take it back

    If you change your gamertag on a Xbox 360 you can still have the 15 character limit but other than that you are limited to 12 characters.

    Gamertag change - wording misleading - " will be available to others"

    I would like to add that if your previous gamertag is longer than 12 characters, it will not be able to be claimed by anyone; including yourself. The character limit used to be 15, but it was recently changed to 12 for the new gamertag system.
