Collapse all. How did gamertags change? We updated new Xbox gamertags to support a character max, Unicode-based name of your choice, with an auto-generated suffix if the gamertag is shared. We offer 13 different alphabets for gamers, which support more than languages worldwide.
Note Existing gamertags remain unchanged with no suffix. No action is necessary unless you want to make a change. New Xbox players or those who want to change their gamertag can claim one of their choice, up to 12 characters. If a gamertag is already taken, a suffix with numbers is attached to differentiate you from other people with the same gamertag. Suffixes are subtle so that the focus is on the name you chose, but they are always shown.
New gamertag updates are available at:. If you do decide to change your existing gamertag, be aware that you may lose it to someone else. All players should be able to express themselves proudly in their native language. We made this change to empower players around the world with more choice in how they represent themselves.
Can I keep my existing gamertag? Of course. You can keep your current gamertag with zero change in experience, and no suffix will be attached. Anyone else who chooses the same gamertag as yours automatically have a suffix added to distinguish them. Does the suffix always appear next to my gamertag?
