Gamertag changed without a notification

Mike dB · Nov 20, 2023

Hello,

My gamertag has recently been changed, yet, I've no idea why. I didn't receive an email notification of this change, should I have? How do I change it back to what it was?

TIA,

Mike

Typically it would only be changed like that if you were given a forced gamertag change by the enforcement team because the tag violated the code of conduct. You can check http://enforcement.xbox.com to
see if that is the case.

Hi Mike D, my name is Daniel and I would be happy to help.

Surely your gamertag was changed automatically because it did not comply with Xbox standards, so you will not be able to recover it and in my opinion you cannot change to another one for free. Before changing the gamertag, you must read the rules and regulations so that this does not happen again.

In any case, I cannot give you more specific information since I am a gamer like you who helps other gamers solve basic problems, this means that I am not a Microsoft employee so I would recommend you contact Support directly.

I hope you understand, I wish you good luck.

Best regards,

All password changes are notified to the account, probably you didn't see the password change message on time and was deleted by the person making the change request

You were warned.The code of conduct you agreed to when starting your account is your warning.

That name is not a auto generated gamertag so you used your free name change when you picked that gamertag.

It may be your name but that word also means something else which would be my guess as to why it was changed.

You can appeal it by filing for a case review on the enforcement site here if eligible.

If you want to change the name you were given then you will have to pay.

because you already used it when you created the first name

You only get one when you first create the account and you receive an autogenerated one

Fyi you aren't allowed to repost offencive names on forums

And yes if you want a customized name again you must pay
