Gamertag issue in Sea of Thieves

Fritterz · Dec 8, 2022

My xbox gamertag is #7497, I changed it to just "" and Microsoft added the ID. My name in Sea of Thieves, however, is 7497. My friends go through Microsoft accounts as well with not particularly unique names and their own ID but it isn't added onto their in-game name.

How do I fix this? I'd like my name to just be

Sea of Thieves names can take some time to update after the gamertag they're conncected to has been changed. If your Sea of Thieves name doesn't update, maybe try looking at their support website at https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb and
contact them if need be

Hello MrKermit,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. Before I try to assist, I do have a few questions.

1) Are you playing Sea of Thieves on PC or Xbox?
2) When you previously played Sea of Thieves, was that also through Game Pass? Or was it purchased elsewhere?

3) When you originally played Sea of Thieves, was it through the same Gamertag that is now an active Game Pass subscriber?

I look forward to your response,
