    Gamertag change impossible on any platform (error 1372)


    Hello,

    I'm trying to change my gamertag with no success. The issue I have is similar to this one, in the sense that I get the same error (but I'm not in the same exact use case) :

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...gamertag/64d61b26-ad3c-4ea8-b2f9-eb6d52bde970

    I'm mostly using the browser tool to change your gamertag :

    https://social.xbox.com/changegamertag

    When I enter the desired gamertag, it shows what it will look like ("Gamertag#1234") but when I confirm that I want to change and click on the "Modify my gamertag" button that show up in the pop-up, nothing happens. After a while, I decided to inspect the call with my browser and discovered the call actually responds with a 400 error :

    So it seems that the service states that the user is already in use. But then, why is the tool suggesting that the username is actually available ? If, for instance, I try to ask to change to the gamertag of a friend (meaning : I know it's not available), I get blocked before the screen showing me what my new gamertag will look like.

    I tried :

    • Doing to the same in private navigation
    • Doing to the same in two others browsers where I never actually logged in with my Microsoft account before
    • Doing the same on my Xbox One S
    • Doing the same on different mobile browsers
    • More weirdly, I tried doing the same with a similar Gamertag, only replacing a "O" with a "0", only to see if the problem might be the gamertag I'm aiming for. I got the "this is what the gamertag will look like" page (without suffixes "#1234" this time)...but I ended up with the same error code.
    So it looks like something is broken with my account and gamertag changes.

    What can I do ?

    :)

    Hello DannyBiker, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your change.

    Right now the only thing I can think of is that the gamertag you're trying to choose is in use in other services. As Xbox has allowed the use of the same gamertag across multiple accounts with the #0000 after it would be presumed that the maximum number of accounts has been reached and the tag cannot accommodate any more.

    But is it normal that it will always reply with that error with any kind of variation of the same gamertag ? I tried by replacing some "O" with "0" or by putting a space in between and it always replies with the 1372 "The gamertag belongs to another user" error which I find really hard to believe. Those gamertags can't all be used to their limits...

    Hey there!

    Have you verified that the purchase was recognized by your account? You can do that through your
    Microsoft Account and verify the purchase under your order history. If it appears there, you may just need to remove the profile from your device, and then add it again.
