Frequently asked questions
What are the Xbox gamertag rules?
A gamertag can be up to 15 characters, and spaces count toward that. If the name you want is already used, Xbox can add a number suffix such as #1234 so it stays unique. Your first gamertag change is free; later changes are charged.
What are the PSN online ID rules?
PlayStation's help pages don't publish the length or character rules; the sign-up screen checks them as you type. 3 to 16 letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores is widely reported. The first online ID change is free and later ones are charged.
Will one gamertag work on both Xbox and PlayStation?
Usually, if you keep it to 15 characters or fewer and use only letters and numbers. Every idea on this page follows that, so it fits Xbox and the commonly reported PSN format.
How do I avoid a #1234 suffix on Xbox?
Pick a name nobody has used yet. The gamertag change page on xbox.com shows whether a name is free or will get a suffix before you confirm, so test a few ideas there.
