Stuck on gamertag selection screen

Lily Horton · May 14, 2025 at 9:32 AM

I noticed several threads in the past related to getting stuck on the gamertag selection screen. I am trying to create accounts for my children so they can play Minecraft. They both have Microsoft accounts, but when I get to the screen to select a Gamertag for them, choose one of the 4 preselected options, and click Let's Go, nothing happens. Please help.

Hello Lily,

Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I apologize for a delay in response.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with this. Can you please confirm where are you trying to create their accounts? Are you on a browser, console, PC? If possible, please try to use a different connection like data/hotspot and set their gamertag from this link and see if the same issue will persist. social.xbox.com/changegamertag

This seems to be a temporary issue as there are a lot of players posting on the forum regarding this since earlier. If nothing will work, may be best to report it and wait for now. https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/m...

I will be awaiting your response.

Regards,

Belle
