My gamertag isn’t updating anywhere

Caiden Pym · Jan 4, 2024

I paid money to change my gamertag (XD Chasey) maybe over a week ago now for the primary reason of changing my fortnite name. I made the switch to the gamertag (MY5TERYツ) However, my Fortnite name did not change and neither did my name on any other game. Can someone please get back to me and explain what is going on?

You can change your display name through Epic independent of your gamertag and that should update your name in Fortnite. https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-U...y-name-a5720285595291?sessionInvalidated=true

If you want to update it anywhere else on Xbox, you'd have to pay to change it again. The system does usually show a warning when you change your tag. It basically shows you how it will show in certain areas versus how it will show in others.

Since you used a special character, your account will keep your old gamertag as well for use in areas that aren't updated to work with the newer gamertag policy.

Changing my epic games display name will not benefit me in any way towards this situation as the Xbox gamertag will always overpower.

I am very convinced there was no warning on how my display name will show on relevant games and I would not be happy having to pay even more money to change my name again. That is ridiculous.

I have seen other fortnite names with that character though how come they are supported? Also why wouldn’t I have been given that warning beforehand, will I have to pay again to change it to something acceptable?

No my new gamertag change isn’t there.
