    GAMERTAG EXPIRATION


    I've been trying to make a new gamertag and I found one I like but it was taken which I understand but the original acc with GT from what I can tell hasn't been logged on for 6 years so I was wondering does a person have to active on the acc for a set x or can he just log in and off real quick to reset it??

    :)

    Gamertag Expiration

    Hello Till All Are One,

    As Smwutches has stated, our policy and changes to this policy within our
    Microsoft Service Agreement     states the following information:

    viii. Gamertag Expiration. You must sign into Xbox Services at least once in a five-year period, otherwise you may lose access to the gamertag associated with your account and that gamertag may become available for use
    by others.

    You can check out more information for policy changes at our support page for the Microsoft Service Agreement provided within the link above.

    We hope this information was helpful and wish you the best.

    If they sign into the account at all, it's considered active. They could also be using the account on a different Microsoft service.
