Platform Guidelines

Each platform has its own rules. Your gamertag might display differently depending on where you play — always check availability directly on your platform.

Xbox

XBL

Up to 12 characters

Shorter, more unique names are less likely to get a #1234 suffix. Always check availability at xbox.com.

Want a cleaner Xbox tag? Aim for under 10 characters and avoid common word combos.

PlayStation

PSN

3–16 characters

First name change is free — make it count. Letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores allowed.

PSN names are permanent-feeling. Pick something you won't regret in a year.

Steam

STM

Up to 32 characters

Display names can be changed anytime for free. Go bold — you can always switch later.

Steam names don't need to be unique, so you can use anything. Your custom URL is separate.
