gamertag

Online player identity

A gamertag is a username or online handle used in video gaming, particularly on Xbox platforms where Microsoft popularized the term.

It's the name other players see during multiplayer games and on leaderboards: What's your gamertag? I'll add you.

The term has spread beyond Xbox to describe gaming usernames generally.
