you will have to remove the old XBL account and add the new XBL account (with your new name) on Giant Bomb.

That breaches the terms & conditions, I believe.
 
 On the other hand, it is such a problem that you have to change your username?

@JJOR64:@L1D3N:@dbz1995: She/he is trying to change the gamertag that is linked to their Giant Bomb account. They changed their Gamertag on XBL and need to update it on here.

Yeah, kind of a bummer though. I have an account that I made on Giantbomb day one, right at launch. Although it was my old gamertag- just my name with a bunch of numbers after it. Oh well.

I think you guys should actually read her post instead of answering based on her title.
 
@MissCherry_13:
 Go to manage your accounts on the achievement tab. Remove your previous name and then add your new new name.

That wasn't me not reading the post, it was me failing at the english language.

@MissCherry_13:  
You can simply go to the Achievements tab on your profile page, click 'Manage Your Accounts' on the upper left hand side and from there choose to remove your 360 Gamertag then simply re-add the new 360 Gamertag. If you have any other questions then feel free to shoot me a PM, I'll gladly help you out :)
