    Microsoft account required?


    I've had a Hotmail account for ~ 15+ years...I recently switched to a Gmail account and am phasing out my Hotmail. From what I can see, the only way to log into Xbox/etc is to have a 'Microsoft account'. So...just trying to confirm, I need to keep my Hotmail
    account, or create a new Hotmail/Outlook/Microsoft account, to be able to log into my Xbox One.......(*cough* DUMB*cough*). Thanks for any info/feedback/tips!

    :)

    Microsoft account required?

    You can use your gmail account, that's what I use. The "Microsoft account" is basically just Microsoft's way of you being able to tie everything together, but you can use gmail as the login email.

    Xbox login where it doesn't belong.

    it is a microsoft game therefore requires a microsoft account to use it regardless of which store you purchase from, same goes with lots of other games that also require an ubisoft account, epic account, rockstar account the list goes on.

    You have no email?

    How are you operating a gamertag?

    A gamertag requires a microsoft account to be on live, a microsoft account requires an email.

    If you had an email but don't know, you'll want to deal with that quickly or more problems will arise.
