How do I get my gamer tag back?

suicidalK1TTENS · Feb 25, 2023

My gamer tag was changed and restricted do to someone’s complaint on Xbox but after some appeals. Xbox support say they have lifted it and said that I was able to use it again if I prefer, but I don’t know how to change it back. I’ve emailed them on how to proceed but haven’t heard back. The problem is that Xbox doesn’t allow more than 12 characters anymore and my tag was 15 characters long so I can’t manually change it back.

Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me but that isn’t helping.

Maybe I’m not explaining this right.

I restarted my console this morning when I signed back in I didn’t read things correctly and used my email and password to sign in and then started with a new gamer tag with the same email as my old gamer tag.

Now when I sign in it’s my new gamer tag that pops up. I tried deleting the new tag off my console and resigning in but again the new gamer tag pops up.

There is no option to look for tags associated with the same email???

All my purchased games and game pass is associated with my old gamer tag. How do I get my old gamer tag back with this email and onto my console???

If they were connected to xbox live all you have to do is recover the accounts. If they were local accounts only and not connected to the network you're not going to be able to recover them.
