    My gamer tag has changed and don't know when, but I'm assuming recently when my Microsoft account was compromised. I've had that gamer tag ever since I first made my account when the Xbox first came out.

    I really want to get my gamertag back how can I do that?

    :)

    My Microsoft account was compromised and now my gamer tag has changed, how can I get back my gamer tag?

    Hello Mehrab M, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

    I am very sorry for the problem you are going through, with the intention of being able to help you, I did a search on the internet and found a publication that explains a series of steps to recover the gamertag without needing the email and I thought it was good information, which you should take into account:

    Therefore, to recover Xbox Gamertag without email, you need to have access to your Xbox. Thus, you can recover your Xbox Gamertag without email as follows:

    Step 1. To get started, simply launch the Xbox game console and from the start, visit Settings > Accounts.

    Xbox account settings

    Step 2. Once you have started Account Settings, go to My Xbox > Manage Account > Your Information.

    Step 3. At this point, go to your Windows Live ID and choose to change the Live ID associated with your account.

    Step 4. A specific window will open in which you can select the option Update contact information > Recover Gamertag from Xbox Live. This will simply display your current Gamertag on the screen and allow you to customize your account details.

    HOW TO CHANGE GAMER TAG TO XBOX 360 GAMER TAG

    For some reason my new gamer tag linked itself to my old gamer tag email address. I don't know how to change that and to link my old gamer tag back to my Microsoft account. I believe that's why I cant play as my old game tag. Is there a way to fix that?

    Gamertag suffix issue

    Hi KC,

    Thanks for coming to the forums. Unfortunately, there is no way of removing the suffix. They added the suffix so many people could have same gamer tag. Example if multiple people wanted John smith then the suffix gets added to tell people apart. When making
    a gamer tag, it will show you what the gamer tag will look like. If it is a unique one that no one has it will not show the suffix. Please make sure you check these when going to change gamer tag. There are a few gamer tag checkers out there that are not correct.
    Here is
    the FAQ
    for the gamer tag update.

    Thanks,

    Brad
    Hi Brad, the gamertag I changed to and using now was unique. I did previously have it linked to my second microsoft account before I closed the account. I changed my gamertag on my main microsoft account to the gamertag I had on my second microsoft account
    once that account was fully closed.

    As my other microsoft account was closed, surely there wouldn't be a suffix generated next to the gamertag because that account no longer has the gamertag tied to it?
