How to Change Your Minecraft Gamertag: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Wondering how to switch up your Minecraft identifier? Let’s dive into the simple steps to change your Minecraft gamertag with ease.
Changing your Minecraft gamertag might seem tricky, but it’s actually pretty straightforward once you know where to look and what steps to follow.
Quick Steps to Change Your Minecraft Gamertag
To change your Minecraft gamertag, you first need to understand that your gamertag is linked to your Microsoft account. That means, to change it, you’ll be tweaking your Microsoft account settings, not something within Minecraft itself.
First, head over to the official Microsoft website and log into your Microsoft account linked to your Minecraft game. Once you’re in, look for the ‘Your info’ section at the top. Here, you’ll find an option for ‘Edit name’. Click it, and you’ll be able to change your gamertag. Remember, Microsoft allows one free gamertag change. If you decide to change it again, there might be a fee.
