Gamertag Question

BlazerPlaysXbox · Jan 21, 2018

Hi, I got a gamertag today (GoldGrandee) and I got a payment success email but the gamertag is still my old one on the web, app and console. I also heard it was instant so I believe there shouldn’t be delay. I tried logging out of my account and doing a
full reset of my console but nothing works!

Xbox One Gamesharing specific question

We have 3 xbox ones and 3 gamertags.

If Console A belongs to Gamertag A, and likewise with B and C

We buy a game with Console/Gamertag A

Console/Gamertag B sets Console A as its home console and downloads that game.

*Here's the question*

Can Console/Gamertag B then switch its home console to Console C and still be able to play the game downloaded from Console/Gamertag A.

OG Gamertag question.

I just got this gamertag I've been trying to get for a year or so. I would like to know if it is an OG Gamertag. It is "Spiffy".

If the GT has not changed after 24hrs you should contact official support at support.xbox.com/contact-us

should also be noted just because you can't find it doesn't mean it isn't in use

Gamer tag is the same as gamertag or Gamertag

But to find a name you have to be very very specific and have the exact spelling that's why you aren't seeing it and saying it's is in use

There is millions of possibilities in varitians

You are just going to have to be more creative it's that simple

If a person doesn't sign into their account for 5 years (starting in 2016), their gamertag will be reset. Otherwise, the only other way it would be reset is if the owner changes it to something else.

Keep in mind that the gamertag system is in use on other Microsoft services. So even if it's not in use on an Xbox, it may be in use somewhere else.

ngocphi

remember the gamertag can be used by all 4 services

games for windows live and xbox for windows live

zune and xbox live

you cannot send a friend request on xbox live and find out if its available

you need to try and change it that's the only way to check

also spaces don't maker a name different

just be creative with the spelling like replacing o with 0s or e's with 3

gamertag not valid just means either you didn't have the right SPACES or its being used on another ms service just not XBOX

If your GT was offensive the XBL PET would have issued you an FNC (Forced Name Change) when they removed the other offensive content from your profile and/or when you were Gamer Score Reset for
cheating.

Mister Gwyther

Do you have a Support-related issue you'd like help with? If you have an issue with another user's GT, you can report that user for violating the TOU and/or being offensive. You can do this on the console. We have steps outlined in our sticky post:
