Subsequently, one may also ask, how do you get more than 12 characters on Xbox Gamertag?
No action is necessary unless you want to make a change. New Xbox players or those who want to change their gamertag can claim one of their choice, up to 12 characters. If a gamertag is already taken, a suffix with numbers is attached to differentiate you from other people with the same gamertag.
Beside above, why is Xbox Gamertag 12? When Microsoft changed the character limits on Gamertags last year it also added unobtrusive numerical suffixes so that multiple people could use the same handle if they wanted. It certainly seems like the new 12 character limit is to make room for those suffixes.
Beside this, how long can a Xbox Gamertag be?
There can only be 15 characters in an Xbox Live gamertag. How long is your son's? If you are having trouble entering it in, play a game with him and select his gamertag from the lobby and select "Send friend request" or have your son send you one. Yes, the limit of a gamertag is 15 characters.
