    You actually show as having a classic gamertag and a new gamertag. So some areas will still show the old gamertag (classic gamertag).

    Unable to change gamertag

    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.

    Xbox gamertag changed on my Xbox profile but not in game

    If you have 2 gamertags, the top one is your new tag and the one on bottom is the "classic" gamertag. In areas that haven't been updated to work with the new gamertag system, the classic gamertag will show up. That's why you still see it in games.

    Paid to change my Gamertag but my old ones shows when I play games? Both my old and new one shows on my profile aswell? Any ideas how I fix it please?

    Depending on how you changed your tag, you can have a new gamertag as well as a classic gamertag. The classic tag would show up anywhere that the new gamertag system is not in place. The only way to fix it is to change it again.

    New Gamertag System Suffix Issues

    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?
