    Display name showing numbers


    Hi there,

    I am aware of the system where if you pick a name someone already has it will put numbers at the end of your name, but I changed my name and before I changed it I checked to see if someone already had it, which they didn't, and when I changed my name it
    had numbers at the end. I do not like numbers in my name and I would just like the one that I picked out.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Hello pug.

    Thank you for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with your Gamertag. For information on Gamertag and suffixes, please visit this article:

    I hope this helps.

    Are you sure that the name you wanted wasn't taken. Remember that you have to tag into account spacing.

    Meaning that "gamertag" and "G A M E R T A G" would both be considered the same tag.

    Gamertag

    As a lot of people wanted to have "already taken" Gamertags, Microsoft changed the system so everyone could get the Gamertag they want, with a number tag attached like on Battle.net or on Discord.

    While Microsoft transitions to that new format, a lot of current and older games and the dashboard will show your name with the number.

    Going forward, the number will be displayed smaller and not as prominently, so you *ARE* "Major", but to differntiate you from other "Majors" there is now a smaller number attached to it, which will show less prominently in the future.

    My gamertag isn’t updating anywhere

    You can change your display name through Epic independent of your gamertag and that should update your name in Fortnite. https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-U...y-name-a5720285595291?sessionInvalidated=true

    If you want to update it anywhere else on Xbox, you'd have to pay to change it again. The system does usually show a warning when you change your tag. It basically shows you how it will show in certain areas versus how it will show in others.
