    Xbox gamertag availability


    I want to change my gamertag to my minecraft user name I have had for years. I looked up the name and its taken by what looks like a dormant account on xbox. (no friends on list and it's been offline for a long time). I was wondering if accounts get deactivated or if gamertags are made available after a certain amount of time.

    :)

    Forum support cannot assist you in this matter. If when you search for the GT
    HERE     it comes up as taken, then another user has already claimed the GT. That is the only way to check the availability.

    Remember that some Gamertags have different privacy and maybe you can't find them on that website.

    If the xbox live tell's you it's not available, that's mean it's not available.

    Regards!

    If it's taken or not taken if it's not available theres nothing anyone can do

    Whenever the Xbox Live service says that the Gamertag is unavailable then there is no way to get that gamertag, since it's already in use.

    Yes, that website is a 3rd party website and therefore it's up to the owner to keep scans constant and keep it updated. For instance, if it hasn't been maintained, it might not have scanned in-use gamertags in a year. Therefore, it might still show certain
    onces as "Available" when in fact, they've been taken. I would not go by the information on that website. Just check on your Xbox Companion App or on your actual console, and go by that.
