• Also in: Settings → System → Console Info → Serial Number.

2. Gamertag (Your Public ID)

• What: Your chosen name (e.g., ShadowHunter117). Unique.
• Where: Home screen top-left, Guide (Xbox button) → Profile, account.xbox.com.
• Used for: Friends, parties, leaderboards, support identity.

3. Xbox Account ID (XUID)

• What: 64-bit numeric ID (e.g., 2533274790123456). Internal.
• Where: account.xbox.com → URL contains xuid=... or use XboxAPI tools.
• Used for: Dev APIs, stats sites, clan rosters.

4. Xbox Live / Game Pass Membership Number

• What: Subscription transaction ID / order number.
• Where: Microsoft Account → Services → View details.
• Used for: Billing disputes, refund requests, proof of purchase.

5. Support Case Number

• When: You contact Xbox Support (chat/phone/callback).
