Gamertag PPI

Hi Kim,

Information on name sharing and instructions to adjust who can see your son’s name can be found here:

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help...ty/share-socialize/real-name-sharing-xbox-one

Name sharing settings:

“Share my real name” (Xbox One Only) - you can set this to “Everyone”, “Friends”, “Friends I choose” (so only specific friends) or “Block”.

“Share my real name with friends of friends” (Xbox One Only) - you can set this to “allow” or “block”.

Manage Xbox online safety and privacy settings

When making any account changes, make sure to select submit to confirm and save these settings.

You can find answers to most questions on privacy settings for child accounts here: Family & online safety

If you haven't already, you might want to consider getting the Xbox Family Settings app. - This guide explains the features and settings you can manage through the app.

If you experience any issues with managing account privacy settings in the app, try the solutions here:

Xbox Family Settings app troubleshooting page

Just to clarify, there's no charges to adjust account privacy settings, including who can see your name on your profile and your son doesn't necessarily have to use his real name. There is a fee to change your gamertag though (your name next to your gamertag is separate).

Edit: I've realised you meant the actual gamertag was changed, in this case as Smwutches mentioned, you would have to pay to change it again. If you were referring to his name, next to the gamertag, then there's no charge to undo this change.

Hope this helps

Unfortunately there's no way to revert or get another free gamertag change. You would have to pay if you want to change it again. As it's not a violation to have your real name as your gamertag (it's not recommended) that is mostly why they don't have a system to check that.

Try gaming on a smaller screen with better ppi and response time and youll never play on anything bigger than 42 again!!

That may be a problem with most TV's, but it's one of the reasons I really like DLP TV's. The response time is something like 8 microseconds, which is WAY less than 1ms.

i find that any game with screen tearing can be minimized by changing the xbox setting to 720 and letting your tv upscale to 1080, my tv has a better upsaler than the xbox anyway, will be getting this next week when my damn ppi cheque clears , strangeotron
if you have a samsung look one their site for any new firmware and make sure you turn off any extra processing options on your tv.
