How to pick a good gamertag
A gamertag is the name everyone sees before they ever hear you speak. It shows up on the scoreboard, in kill feeds and in clips other people post. Worth a minute's thought.
Keep it sayable
If your teammates can't pronounce it, they won't use it. Names heavy on substituted characters look sharp written down and become unreadable out loud. One or two swaps is plenty.
Watch the length
Xbox allows 12 characters, PlayStation 16 and Steam up to 32. Long names get truncated in overlays and scoreboards, so shorter usually wins.
Think about permanence
Changing a gamertag can cost money and breaks the link between you and your clips and stats. Pick something you'll still be comfortable with in a few years — a joke that lands today may not age well.
Platform rules to know
- Xbox: Up to 12 characters. Spaces allowed, but no symbols.
- PlayStation: Up to 16 characters. Hyphens and underscores only, and it must start with a letter or number.
- PC / Steam: Up to 32 characters. Most symbols are fine.
Does this check availability?
No, and be sceptical of any tool that claims to. There's no public API for checking Xbox or PSN name availability, so the only reliable way to find out is to try it at signup. What this tool does guarantee is that the tag is valid for the platform you picked — the right length, the right characters — so it won't be rejected for the wrong reason.
Need stream graphics too?
Once you've got the name, our free overlays and banners will get the rest of your channel looking the part.
