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.

They shout start now. Since the release didn't release every tag

SupervisorPosted:

This is great as there are so many users that haven't been on in 5 years. It's better they make it this way.

XboxPosted:

Well they should start releasing them now because I'm sure their is still many left that ain't been on in 5 years. This is great to hear, Hopefully I can get a awesome gamertag one day off of this.

Great news, if you don't use an account within 5 years you must not want it very much.

This is awesome news that every 5 years will gain a new GT to have, not a bad idea myself.
