    I have 2 Xbox accounts with 2 gamertags. Can I change the name of gamertag (or even delete it) in one account to release it, so that I would be able to change to this name from my second account? Thanks! ;-)

  2. Gamertag was reported, no free change

    Accounts are not entitled to a free rename after a forced gamertag change by Enforcement.

    A free name change was originally offered in the past, but this was met with repeated abuse, so the privilege was eventually taken away.

    It's not easier for us

    because you dont as dlc is usually associated with an account

    a phisher would wreck havoc just by deleting your account after stealiomng your money

    start an new account or do what other kids do

    rename your account to free up the gamertag then use it on the new account unknown how long it takes to become free

    You can change the tag of one account which would free up the tag you've changed,although it might not free up straight away,& then change the tag of account No2 to the tag that you freed up but you would have to pay twice to do this.

  5. Thank you very much for reply, Daft Badger! Do you know approximately how much time before the release of the name of gamertag should go, so I can take it again from the second account? And whether this procedure is still paid if I had never before did not
    change the names of any of the accounts? Or changes will be free for the first time, as I read about it here on the forum?

    It could become free straight away or maybe after a couple of hours,can't really say for certain.

    The free name change is only if you change your tag from a generated gamertag to a personal one within 30 days of creating your account.

    Any other changes need to be paid for.
