    Xbox gamertag - now I have 8 numbers at the end of my name


    I want to remove the last 4 numbers from my Gamertag without having to pay $10 for a new one. I don't think it's possible, but I am asking anyway. When I set it up, I assumed it was a required thing to have 4 numbers at the end of the Gamertag, so I put the numbers in only after realizing it does it automatically.

    Unfortunately the only way would be to change your tag again which would require another payment.

    Unwanted numbers in gamertag after i changed it.

    I believe ALL new gamertags have the numbers at the end now, regardless of if they are taken or not. It's just so people can now have the same name and the extra numbers make the name unique now.

    Gamertags and what they mean to you! Times change!

    my gamer tag is from minecraft and the 26 at the end is the first and last number of the year i started playing xbox and the age of 8 although this is not my first gamertag

    change old gamertag

    Hey Bud:

    Here are some answers from previous Ambassadors.

    "The added numbers at the end of your new Gamertag are a result of the update to the Gamertag system that's been slowly but surely rolled out in full over the last couple of months. The numbers should only show up for
    you and will only be relevant if someone is looking to add you by name. You should check out this FAQ about it from Xbox Support. It would be very helpful to you to be able to understand how the new change works out by reading it. https://support.xbox.com/en-PH/my-account/manage-gamertag-and-profile/gamertag-updates-faq"

    "I believe ALL new Gamertags have the numbers at the end now, regardless of if they are taken or not. It's just so people can now have the same name and the extra numbers
    make the name unique now"

    "It's a free switch with a suffix, otherwise you can pay $10 to switch it"

    Hopefully, this helps!

    Is there a way to remove the new gamertag that includes numbers from my account?

    The numbers reflect a shared gamertag that others have so the numbers are used to differentiate everyone using the shared gamertag.

    If you can create a unique gamertag that no one else has then you will have that name witout any numbers at the end as you will be the sole occupier of said gamertag but given how many users are on xbox now it might be a struggle to find something unique
    enough to achieve this but i wish you good luck 🤞

    Have a nice day 🙂
