  1. I want to ask something about gamertag change


    I just wanted to have my name different in games. But saying gamertag as normal. And I typed my name the same way it is I'm a profile and I typed it differently for showing up in a game. Now one time it said this game tag is not available but somehow I accidentally I don't know if I glitched it or what but it says my name and a space. I don't want to go any further if I'm glitching the gamertag system I want to make sure I'm not or whatever I don't want to continue with it. Like where it says this is how you look if you change your gamertag My name is on top of my profile and then it shows what my name would be in games and it has my name plus a space. I'm not sure if that is correct for Xbox to do that. That is why I'm asking the community if it is right or not. And a weird thing is it takes me to where I can purchase $10 worth of the change.

    Hi Mr Crazy Cactus,

    Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I'm happy to help you with your gamertag change concern. Based on what you've shared, it seems that you've encountered some issues with changing your gamertag. Let me ask you a few questions to better understand the situation.



    Firstly, have you already purchased the gamertag change? If not, you won't be able to change your gamertag yet. The $10 purchase you mentioned is the fee for changing your gamertag. Once you've made the purchase, you can proceed with changing your gamertag.



    Secondly, when you say that your name has a space in it, do you mean that there is a space between your first and last name? If so, that is normal and allowed in gamertags. However, if there are any special characters or inappropriate words in your gamertag, it may not be allowed.

    For the concern in using another name aside from your gamertag on a specific game, it would depend on which game is it as there are games that use your Xbox credentials as log in so the gamertag would be used as well. Otherwise, changing your name in a game will not change your Xbox gamertag. Your Xbox gamertag is your unique online identity within the Xbox Live ecosystem. It's the primary way that players will identify you on the Xbox network.

    If you want to change your gamertag, you can do so on the web, your Xbox console, and your Windows device. Please note that while your first gamertag change is free, all future gamertag changes require a fee.

    Remember, if you change your gamertag, it's reflected across Xbox, and you don't need to tell your friends about the change—their friends lists will be updated automatically.

    If you're still having trouble changing your gamertag, here are some possible causes and solutions:

    • The gamertag you want may already be taken. Try choosing a different gamertag that is available.
    • Your account may have a gamertag enforcement in place. This means that you may not be able to change your gamertag for a certain period of time due to a violation of the Xbox Live Code of Conduct. You can check if this is the case by going to your Xbox Enforcement History page.
    • There may be a technical issue with the Xbox Live service. You can check the Xbox Live Status page to see if there are any known issues: Xbox Status | Xbox Support

    I hope this information helps! Here are some articles that may be useful to you:

    Gamertag change

    So i went to change my gamertag since i heard it was free and i changed it but sadly i couldn't get the gamertag i wanted it said it wasnt allowed the gamertag was LaffinCoffin i dont understand its just from a anime i like and i have had people
    ask me why my gamertag had Laffin in it and if i was a member or something but its not even like that the laffin part in my gamertag is a combination of my name so i thought i would go ahead and change it to that since i get asked about it a lot what the deal
    Nevermind i found a variation that will work
