How to Change Your Microsoft Account Name on Xbox One

Are you tired of your current Xbox gamertag? Do you want to give yourself a fresh new identity in the gaming world? Changing your Microsoft account name on Xbox One is easier than you think. In this article, we'll guide you through the process step by step.

Before we begin, keep in mind that Xbox has strict guidelines when it comes to choosing a gamertag. You're not allowed to use words that are abusive, profane or otherwise inappropriate. Additionally, if your gamertag contains language that Microsoft deems inappropriate, it may be taken away without prior warning.

To change your gamertag, follow these simple steps:

1. Once you've decided on a suitable gamertag, click the Claim it button. Alternatively, if you don't wish to come up with a new one yourself, you can use Xbox's suggestions by clicking the Refresh button.

2. If you receive a message telling you that the gamertag is already in use, you'll need to choose a new one.

3. In the Choose your new gamertag page, enter a new gamertag and click Check availability.

4. Log in to Xbox's Change Gamertag page with your Microsoft account email address and password.

5. Browse through the list of available gamertags and choose the one that works for you.

The good news is that you can change your gamertag for free once. If you want to change it afterwards, however, you'll need to pay an extra fee.

That's it! Changing your Microsoft account name on Xbox One is a straightforward process. Just remember to follow Xbox's guidelines and have fun choosing your new gamertag.
