    Is there anyway to get rid of the 12 character Xbox one gamertag and keep the 15 character...


    It's really annoying having 2 Gamertags, I want to get rid of the 12 character gamertag and only have the 360 15 digit gamer tag. Most of the posts are old but they had said if you change it on the Xbox 360 you will just have that one and it will remove the 12 character one but then I see some people saying that doesn't work so I don't really want to spend $10 plus tax if it doesn't.

    Has anyone tried recently and can give a definite answer?

    :)

    Is there anyway to get rid of the 12 character Xbox one gamertag and keep the 15 character Xbox 360 one only?

    Once you change your gamertag within the 12 character policy, there is no way to remove it and go back to only the 15 characters.

    New gamertag system

    The 12 character cap is to keep the full limit with the suffix to 15-16 characters.

    Why do gamertags only support 12 characters now?

    We require at least 3 characters to auto-assign you a suffix and make sure that everybody has an equal chance to have a name they can be proud of. Many older games allowed 16 characters for displaying gamertags.
    We’re reserving three of those characters for the suffix and one for the # symbol, leaving 12 characters for gamertags.

    Yup, it’s only accepting gamertags that are 12 characters or less. Mine is 15 characters so hopefully this gets fixed soon.

    more characters for gamertags

    You technically still have the 15 character limit. The gamertag that appears on the system and apps is 12 characters, yes, but you're able to change your gamertag for games not supporting the new gamertag change. You should see

    a prompt
    to customize your gamertag. The one you're changing when selecting said prompt will be the gamertag that appears in games and can go up to 15 characters.

    Why only 12 alphabets gamertag please change it to 16 Because my last gamertag was of 13 and now I cannot take it back

    If you change your gamertag on a Xbox 360 you can still have the 15 character limit but other than that you are limited to 12 characters.
