Can i search gamertags

If you enter an incomplete gamertag or an invalid gamertag, you are not presented with a list of possible matches, as Microsoft doesn't offer any kind of gamertag search or lookup service.

The one way to add a friend on the Xbox network without knowing their gamertag is to use the Suggested Friends option on your Xbox One or in the Windows 10 Xbox app. This option provides you with a list of followers and friends of friends you may want to connect with. The Suggested Friends option also allows you to link your Facebook account. If you are trying to find the gamertag of someone with whom you are already Facebook friends, this option allows you to see their gamertag and add them on the Xbox network.

Here's how to find a friend's gamertag if you're connected with them on Facebook:. Select Find Facebook friends. This menu also includes friend suggestions, including followers and friends of friends. You can scroll through this list to see if it contains the person you're looking for, then press the Y button to add them. Enter your Facebook login information and select Log In. If you have two-factor authentication turned on, you will need access to your Facebook app.

Select Continue as [your name]. Select Find friends. If you have any Facebook friends who you aren't already connected with on the Xbox network, you will be able to look through them and select which ones to add. There is no official way to find an email from a gamertag or to perform a reverse gamertag search. That means you can't look up your Microsoft account email address using your gamertag, and you can't find the identity of people on the Xbox network using their gamertags.

Microsoft will not provide you with the email associated with your account based on your gamertag. If you are currently logged into your account on an Xbox One, you will see the email address associated with your account in the upper left corner of the home screen. If you're trying to log into your Xbox One, and you don't remember your email address, you'll have to use the methods that were outlined above to figure it out. Some sites offer reverse gamertag searches, but they don't have access to Microsoft's account records.

These sites rely on users signing up and providing their information. If you previously signed up for one of these sites or the person you're looking for signed up for one of these sites, you may be able to perform a reverse gamertag search.

Suffixes are subtle so that the focus is on the name you chose, but they are always shown. New gamertag updates are available at:.
