Gamertage *** is a gamertage?

Avoid like the plague IMO

Xbox One Gamesharing specific question

Only during times when Gamertag A is also logged in to Console C.

We buy a game with Console/Gamertag A

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

Also, this isn't how it works. Gamertag A would have to set Console B as their Home console in order for Gamertag B to access their games without A being siged in.

To simplify it, Gamertag A buys a game and from there you have two options:

Any gamertag on Gamertag A's Home console can play the game without them signing in

All other consoles will need Gamertag A signed in to play the game.

Hi Hawthorn(E)Hawk,

for this inconvenience it is better to ask the Xbox support directly to this link:
Contact Us | Xbox Support or this Contact Us | Xbox Support

Only they have the opportunity to help you with this-

I hope you have been able to help and solve the problem.

Kind regards

Hey there Hawthorn(e)Hawk!

Unfortunately, even though it is just one letter, the system will look to charge you. Only the first gamertag change is free.

It is setup so that any time you change your gamertag to something different, (be it a letter different or completely so) it will charge you. There's no way to get around that, even through Xbox customer support. For more information on that kind of thing
be sure to look over our site page entitled
How to change your Xbox gamertag.

Hope this information was helpful

Thanks!

Sorry, it is not possible for Any Xbox Support Team to issue any free changes. You would have to pay the fee again.

Unfortunately this is an issue i do see pop up every so often, You won't be able to get another free gamertag change or have the current one refunded though.

Probably becauad ir s a suggested name

Remeember plain names arent always available

And to search for it you need the exact context and caps

Or you simply forgot a letter

Since your name is long it can be any combination

Hi there,

Reach out to MS Customer Support directly, they may be able to help you with this depending on the circumstances. It seems like a simple enough mistake but I don't want to make any assumptions.

I'm trying to change my classic gamertag which is the one you see in games. My classic gamertag got changed and my Xbox One and Xbox App gamertag stayed the same (the Xbox One gamertag is the ones they added with the new gamertag system).

My Xbox One gamertag is different to my in-game gamertag and I want my classic gamertag to be changed. You can only change your classic gamertag on the Xbox One console, I have tried using the other ways and you can only change your Xbox Gamertag, not your
classic gamertag.

The reason I want to change my classic gamertag is that the classic gamertag can be fifteen characters and the Xbox One gamertag can only be 12 characters. If I use the other ways to change my gamertag it limits me to 12 characters and sets both my gamertags
to that.

I received a forced Gamertag change. Can XBLPET let me choose a new Gamertag for free?
Some rumors give the impression that XBLPET will provide a free Gamertag change to accounts that have received a forced Gamertag change. This is not the case.

In the past, a forced Gamertag change gave users the opportunity to change the offending Gamertag free of charge. Unfortunately, this gesture was prone to abuse, and many people simply chose new, equally offensive Gamertags. As a result,
the Gamertag enforcement process changed. A forced Gamertag change now automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the account, much in the same way a system-generated Gamertag is provided when you first sign up for Xbox Live.

If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the

standard Gamertag change process.

The double gamertag is by design, as they transition over to the new gamertag system. Not all games will display the new gamertag system and as stated, your old gamertag will be displayed on 360 backwards compatible games. Any gamertag you create yourself,
is a custom gamertag.

These are the steps in order to change your gamertag.

1 On your console, sign in using the Xbox LIVE gamertag

2 Go to Social, and then select your gamertag.

3 Select Change Gamertag.

4 Select Enter New Gamertag.

Once you enter or select a new gamertag, select Yes, use this gamertag.

The gamertag system doesnt recognize things such as spaces or capitalizations in gamertag as making it unique. For example the gamertag system would look at "Gamertag" and "GaMeR TaG" as being the same.

In this case the gamertag "BierBuikBarry" is already in use as the gamertag "BierBuik Barry" with a space which is why it says "BierBuikBarry" is already taken. You would have to wait for "BierBuik Barry" to be inactive on all Microsoft services with that
gamertag for 5 years (starting in 2016) for the gamertag "BierBuik Barry" to be reset which would in turn free up the gamertag "BierBuikBarry" to be used. That would be the only way to get that gamertag.
