Gamertag Release!

Gamertag are not an on demand or request service you just have to keep trying or wait for the active person to release it

Sr numbers are useless except on phone calls or chat

Forums is not the place for them as I can call xbox support with that number and find out your name and phone number and address when they do the verification check

As the others already mentioned it could be possible that the gamertag you want to have will be available Maybe in 2021. Keep in mind, that the prefered gamertag could be used on any Microsoft Service. Even if it is not used on the XBox it could be possible
that it is used on Microsoft Office for example. If this is the case the prefered gamertag won´t be available in 2021.

I don't think it's possible because if the account is still active even though not playing as much could not be considered inactive, you could try to keep the generic tag your contacts will see it with the name and not with the series of numbers

Okay !

Yeah I know, but I don't want to have a numeric tag next to my gamertag, which apparently is displayed on Sea of Thieves... Specially because a guy who don't play since a decade took it haha. I tried to pm him, I will see.

Thanks for the answer !

Hey, Defuse! Smwutches and ngocphi have you covered in here, but I wanted to reiterate that once a gamertag is taken, or says it's taken, it is not available for others to take. When a specific GT is selected, it gets a temp hold, while customers complete
the process. The Gamertag will appear reserved. If it's not accepted, then it's released.

We appreciate the feedback on this. If you have any further questions, I suggest checking out the
Gamertag Release post for more information on this release. Thanks!
