That’s not a bug. Xbox player tags get a numerical suffix appended if there is more than one player using the same name.
Since I think the number is useless ingame and takes too much space, I filtered it in the JS script. But it seems like this was intentionally included since they totally could have filtered it as well.
Here’s a HowTo if anyone wants to get rid of the numbers as well:
How could this be ever possible? Can you actually have 2 different accounts with the same gamertag? ?!?
I should have been more clear though: the numerical suffix was unexpectedly long, and I shall have written something like #12345678 instead of #248. This is more the length of the suffix than the suffix itself which first attracted my attention in fact.
Yes you can. Some games show only the name, some add the number since only with the number duplicate names are unique.
The first to use the name will always be shown without the number, but if anyone else wants to use the name, during the name change they will get informed about the #number being added and shown in some games which includes MSFS.
I think the number is exactly 4 digits long.
Maybe in your case there was another nameplate behind it and thus it looked like a longer number.
@Coppersens ok now I see what you’re talking about, thanks!
It might have been indeed, but there was an unusual number of them around me with # suffixes than I found this peculiar. Thank you for the explanations, this makes sense, and we know they’re onto it now so all is good!

Just like the number in my name. I want to get rid of it but I can’t.
