    GamerTag is "taken", but cannot find it (Not urgent)


    The GamerTag "Comess" that I desire it "taken" as the title imposes. I've tried to look for the account on several different websites and couldn't find an active user. I've read that some other Microsoft services can also have a name in use and not show
    it. Not a very major issue, but it angers me; as I have had the same cringy GamerTag for several years now. Any help as to recovering this username or any help at all is greatly appreciated.

    :)

    GamerTag is "taken", but cannot find it (Not urgent)

    If the system says it's taken then it's in use somewhere on Microsoft services. The system doesn't see things like spaces as making a gamertag unique, so while you look up "gamertag" it may be in use as "gamer tag". Or, like you said, it might be in use
    on another service and doesn't show through the Xbox system. The only way you would be able to use it is if the original owner changes the tag or they do not sign into it for 5 years and it gets released.

    Okay, makes sense that the system wouldn't just disregard a user. Thank you for your reply!

    If a Gamertag is already taken you cannot reserve it.

    Gamertag issue

    If it says a gamertag is taken, it's taken.

    You cannot do anything about it I'm afraid.
