Xbox To Require Sign In Every 5 Years To Maintain Gamertag

4.6
Microsoft is updating its Services Agreement, and of the most notable changes is that an obligatory sign in once in a 5 year period is now required to maintain your 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.

Nah it should only be 1 year in my opinion if your gamertag means that much to you then you should be able to sign in at least once in a year.

I feel as all Gamertags are starting to be taken, I remember about 6 years ago there was barely any taken, Now with all these new players on Xbox it's like a need for them to take these Names and not use them, Weird people I have to say as it's just a name. Soon people are going to have numbers in there name or random letters. It's pretty much coming to that.
