  1. “Heroic” is more of a vibe than anything else, but we thought it’d be fitting, since so many games put you in the role of a protagonist (or, alternatively, a really good fighter) and let you be your most heroic virtual self. So, try putting together a gamertag that also sounds heroic—or just plain hardcore. For instance: [1]

What makes a cool gamertag?

PDF download Download Article
  1. There’s really no wrong or right way to make a cool gamertag for yourself, as long as the end result is something that really speaks to you in one way or another—whether you take inspiration from your hobbies, favorite games, or your own sense of humor. The goal is to create something unique and memorable that tells people a little bit about who you are. It can include the following: [2]
    • Humor - Relatable jokes and puns can make you seem more “approachable,” even when people can’t see your face.
    • Pop culture references - Referencing your favorite celebrity, game, or other pop culture reference can make your username more engaging, as well as highlight your interests.
    • Alternate spellings - The goal is unique, which means you probably don’t want to spell everything exactly as it should be. Using fun, eccentric spelling can make your gamertag stand out!
