Xbox inactive username claim

No. Even if it is not being used on an Xbox, it may be in use somewhere else on Microsoft's servers.

What will happen to inactive xbox one accounts?

If there is an inactive account with a username i want could i claim the username?

Hi,

An inactive Xbox account will be deleted after being inactive for 5 years. If you have made a purchase on that account, It will not be deleted. My best advice would be to have a slight alteration of the desired username to be unique. As an example, if the
name Deathzone117 is taken, you can try . I hope this helps,

Kind regards,

A Microsoft account and Xbox account are essentially the same thing these days so it's kind of the same thing.

Hi,

Also refer to the Xbox gamertag FAQ where it says under the question ‘Does the suffix always appear next to my gamertag?’:

If you’re assigned a suffix, the # symbol and suffix appear everywhere except in friends lists. You don’t see suffixes of friends in your friends list and they don’t see yours in their friends list. Your suffix may also appear in games that support the modern gamertag system so that everybody knows who’s who.

Hope this helps.

Are the 5 years of not signing in to xbox and 2 years of nit signing in to Microsoft related or separated? Also what happens if the account is signed in but has no activity for 5 or 2 years?
