Xbox To Require Sign In Every 5 Years To Maintain Gamertag
'in the Microsoft Account or Skype Account section, we’ve added a requirement that you must sign into the Xbox Services at least once in a 5-year period to keep the Xbox gamertag associated with your Microsoft account. We’ve also added that if your account is compromised, we may be required to disable access to certain content..
If a user fails to do so, he or she might lose access to the gamertag associated with the Microsoft account, and that gamertag may become available for use by other XBL users.
At the moment of writing, the obligatory sign in only applies to a user’s Microsoft or Skype account.

Glad they have done this, theres too many people that make a gamertag and then never play again and then stops others from having it

SuperNerdgasm It's better than the always online variant they tried back in 2013. This I can agree to.
They were two different things. Always on was about being able to even use your Xbox. This is just about the gamertag and you'll still be able to use your Xbox normally with achievements and all that.
