    Inactive account


    Hello, I currently have two accounts. I have my old account, and this account. I don't use the other account anymore, but I have expensive game licenses on it, and I can access it anytime. My question is, if the account stays inactive for a long time, does
    it get suspended or deleted? I just don't to lose my game licenses, I worked hard for the money that the account has for those games...

    :)

    Damn it. The account has been inactive for at least 8 years.

    When does Microsoft deem an account inactive long enough to warrant that "purge" of inactive gamer tags?

  4. Inactive account

    Hi there,

    There has been nothing said recently about recycling inactive accounts. The one time Microsoft recycled accounts, they were accounts from the original Xbox I believe, and that was a couple years ago.

    -

    I have a gamertag from many, many years ago that I log into once in a great while just to show activity. I do the same thing with the email accounts I use to use.

    -

    I hope this helps.

    You're fine, the account will not disable due to inactive account because since 2011, I had to move to another sate and the one I'm using to post this, I just re log in last month and it works fine(on vacation and taking 360 back with me). Make sure you
    don't delete the old account if you want to use the games, dlc etc... on your new account.

    XBOX Live GamerTag inactive

    Adding to this, just because it is inactive on Xbox, does not mean that the Microsoft account is inactive. As long as they keep using the account, then the gamertag will stay attached.

    An account has to be inactive for two years now, before the account is closed.

    Xbox Live Gamertag Availability

    If the tag belongs to an inactive account would it not be available for lookup? Could that be why I'm having this issue? Also, if the account is inactive is there anyway for me to get the tag? Also, is there a way to search for inactive gamertags like
    mine possibly is?

    When will Xbox release inactive account gamertags out again?

    in 2016 they announced that inactive accounts will be removed if they didn't been active for 5 years. So that means inactive accounts will be deleted in 2021

    getting another persons inactive account deleted.

    The basic answer is no.

    The next roll off of inactive accounts will be in 2021 I believe, and the account will have to have been inactive 5 years.
