Xbox should add special characters such as “_” and “-“ to the gamertags.

I’ve seen this on the PS4 and PC, so why not Xbox? It’ll add more availability to gamertags.

Hey there,

You can make a suggestion like this through the
official sub-Reddit.

You can add special characters through the new gamertag system:

Does it look similar to your name here with the special characters? If so, that's why. The new gamertag policy allows special characters, but in games or areas that have not been updated to work with that, it will show your last gamertag.

Thank you! And no I know, I'm used to seeing gamertags with all sorts of characters and latin characters so I assumed nothing changed with the new system. But I guess they removed them on the Xbox which is where I wanted to see the correct spelling. I
hope they add special characters back to appearing on Xbox because I don't want to spend $10 to change it!
