    Ran into an issue with backwards compatible games. (Please Help.)

    It gives you an option to download new profile (Gamertag). It will have you enter your email address and password, and everything should be there. I changed my Gamertag last week and everything worked perfectly fine.

  3. error code 0x80a40008

    I get the same error code. Just started yesterday. Been talking to tech support for hours. Tried every possible solution. But nothing seems to work. Didn't have this problem until they changed my Gamertag. I've had the Gamertag TrAsHbOaTbXtCh for a year
    and now they want to change it. I re-downloaded on my 360 and everything downloaded just fine but, when i tried to recover it on my xbox one i get the error code 0x80a40008. They told me to wait 4 days also. Btw they forced changed my Gamertag to lazycub
    lmao..

    It appears that you were issued a Forced Name Change for having an offensive gamertag. When this happens you are assigned a randomly generated name. If you do not like the new name, you will have to pay to change it. I suggest that you be very careful of
    the names you choose as too many FNC's can get your account banned.

  5. Hello there AngryKid6391798 I`ve got to agree with oOUTSIDERo62 on this one.

    Forced Gamertag change

    When a forced Gamertag change (name change) is imposed, the system will automatically pick a new Gamertag for the user. A forced Gamertag change is imposed when a Gamertag is determined to be inappropriate by the Xbox Live Policy & Enforcement Team. Examples
    of inappropriate Gamertags include names that visually resemble, sound like, represent, hint at, abbreviate, or insinuate any of the following:

    • Profane words or phrases
    • Topics or content of a sexual nature
    • Hate speech (including but not limited to racial, ethnic, or religious slurs)
    • Unlawful drugs or controlled substances
    • Unlawful activities
    if your not willing to pay the necessary money to change your Gamer-Tag. You Could always Sign Up On Xbox Live Rewards.



    When you've racked up at least 5,000 Rewards Credits they'll be converted into your country's local currency and deposited into your Microsoft account. Then it's off to the Xbox stores,
    where you can use your money to pick up your favorite Xbox One and Xbox 360 games, Avatar props and more but in your case your going to want to purchase a new Gamer-tag from the local currency deposited
    into your Microsoft account.
    I thought you would find this information useful,

    Gamer tag reported

    Hi there,

    you can not request a gamertag change here or any where else. If it is reported and found offensive or breaking the ToU in anyway you will get a forced gamertag change to a random name.

    But that will still require you to pay for a gamertag change in a gamertag you would like. So in either way (forced or not) a gamertag change will cost you something. See this link for the steps:
