Need gamertag change/reverted to old one until I want to change it.

CeratedDeer3020 · Dec 8, 2017

Here's my case number: 1407458888. I was wondering if you can help me either with getting a new gamertag or reverting back to my old one for now. I was at a funeral yesterday and while I was gone my cousin got on my Xbox. He decided he wanted to change my
gamertag and I need help with reverting the change.

Want to Change To Old Gamertag

Hello,

I was told to post here by support. So basically, I am wanting to change my gamertag back to my original one that I had changed from. The gamertag I would like is "Sadistic Grunt". I think it is still tied to my account somehow because when I go into party
chat my name still shows up as it even though I changed it about two weeks ago. I have tried re-downloading my profile also which is why I think it is still tied to my account.

I've been told gamertags can't be recycled but I know this to be 100% untrue as I can change to a gamertag I had until a couple days ago. They are all free except for "Sadistic Grunt" (which I'm still showing as in party chat)

Basically, is there a way that it can be completely removed from my account so I can use it, or have something done so that I can use it since it is already on my account?

Thank you.

you will just have to pay for it or get your cousin to

You are responsible for your own account

So I Changed My GamerTag Because I Didn't Like The Previous One.. So When Changed It It Got Number After The Name Which I Don't Like.. Is There Anyway To Revert Back To The Old GT Without Paying?? Please Help!

Unfortunately you cannot revert to an old gamertag without purchasing ... once you change your gamertag it becomes available to any and everyone in the xbox community.

So is there no way to revert the change I made, and go back to my old gamertag (4)?

Hello Traice, my name is zahir, i am here to help with your question.

Unfortunately you wont be able to revert back to your old gamertag.

If you are trying to change the gamertag back to the old one and it is says its not available then its not available.

The problem is this MS made a new policy change where any new gamertags including changes in gamertags have a limit of 12 characters.

The old gamertag is 14 characters so this is why it is not available for you to change your gamertag back.

Sometimes when people have recently changed their gamertag they will sign in under the new gamertag, but when you look at their profile it reverts back to the old one.

I'm not sure if that's the case in this instance, but a possibility.
