It’s easy to do
You can easily change your Xbox LIVE gamertag or Zune tag. If your gamertag was created for you during Xbox LIVE sign-up, you can change the gamertag once for free. All other Xbox LIVE gamertag or Zune tag changes cost 800 Microsoft Points.
To change your Xbox LIVE gamertag
- On your console, sign in using the Xbox LIVE gamertag or Zune tag that you want to change.
- Go to Social, and then select your gamertag.
- Select Change Gamertag.
- Note the Price of the change, and do one of the following:
- Select Enter New Gamertag.
- Select Get Suggestions to view possible gamertags.
- Once you enter or select a new gamertag, select Yes, use this gamertag.
Note Click Add Microsoft Points if you don’t have enough points to complete the purchase.
When you confirm your new gamertag, the change spreads across Xbox LIVE. You don’t need to tell your friends that you changed your gamertag — their friends lists will automatically update.
