Your Xbox Live gamertag is the name other users see when they interact with you online. Whether you outgrow your gamertag or you just want to change things up, Microsoft makes it possible to change your Xbox Live gamertag quickly directly on your Xbox console. The only caveat is that you can change your gamertag the first time for free, but there may be an additional cost if you want to change it again going forward.

Now let's walk through the steps to change your Xbox Live gamertag on your Xbox console.

Step 1. Navigate to the home screen on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S or Xbox One. Press the "Xbox" button to open a menu.

Step 2. Press the right bumper button to navigate over to your profile icon to view the Profile and System menu, and then click your profile at the top of that menu. The Profile menu is displayed.

Step 3. Click "My Profile" in this menu. A screen with options for your Xbox Live profile is shown.

Step 4. Click "Customize Profile." The next screen lets you add or edit information associated with your Xbox Live profile.

Step 5. Click to select your current Xbox Live gamertag. The Choose Your New Gamertag screen is displayed.

Step 6. Enter what you want to be your new Xbox Live gamertag in the Your New Gamertag field, and then click "Check Availability." If your new gamertag is available you'll be shown how it will look on your Xbox devices if you change it. There's also a note letting you know that your previous gamertag will be released and available for others to claim. The final section lets you know that the cost of changing your Xbox Live gamertag the first time is free, but there may be a cost to change it going forward.

Step 7. Click "Change Gamertag." The Change Your Gamertag screen is shown asking if you're sure you want to change your gamertag.

Step 8. Choose "Change Gamertag" again to move forward with changing it. You'll be routed back to your profile screen, where you'll now see your gamertag has been successfully changed.
