Xbox LIVE Gamertags go zombie and rise from the dead


Starting today, we have begun the process of making previously used and unavailable (dead) Xbox LIVE Gamertags available. This process will take some time to complete, and no we can’t tell you when the Gamertag you want might be available. If you are interested, you should check back regularly as we are reviving Gamertags daily.


Sign into Xbox LIVE and go to the My Xbox channel, then select Change Gamertag. From here you can either choose from the random name generator, or you can enter a specific Gamertag to see if it’s available.



Changing your Gamertag does not affect your Gamerscore, Achievements, or your friends list.

How do they tell a dead one?

[TTR Dr Payne]

Based on when the last time it logged in I guess. No telling how long it has to have been before its deemed 'dead' though.

I'm just wondering because i have like another 2 tags i use every onec and a while but also if some of the tags not on my list got into use again would be weird if its not the same person

[TTR Dr Payne]

LOL, I hadn't even thought about that. That would be sooooo weird

[milecoupe]

exactly think of rex coming back......for example.That'd be wrong
