The process takes just a few minutes from any device with internet access.
These articles walk you through finding the right place to make the change, what to expect during the update, and how your new name appears across your games and profile. You'll also learn about any limitations—like how often you can change it or what characters are allowed—so there are no surprises when you submit your new gamertag.
