Gamertag

A Gamertag is a player's Xbox username and the name they are identified by in Sea of Thieves.

Sea of Thieves uses an Xbox Live account to sync player progress across Xbox game consoles, and Windows 10 versions (both Steam and Microsoft Store). A Gamertag is always displayed above a Player Pirate if they are in close proximity. Some cirsumstances will hide a Gamertage, such as if one player is under water while the other is above, or during the use of some emotes. Titles can be displayed below Gamertags, which are equipped in the Vanity Chest once unlocked.

Gamertag colour
Gamertag colour will depend on the following:
 * A Green Gamertag is seen on all players within the player's own Crew.
 * A White Gamertag will be displayed on players from another Crew.
 * A Purple Gamertag signifies players from another Crew within the player's own Alliance.

Crew Status Tags
Crew Status Tags (found under Settings > Gameplay) is an option that displays the current action of a Player Pirate next to their Gamertag. These appear as small circular icons beside the names of your Crew Members.

The following Actions are displayed with the Crew Status Tags:

As well as the addition of an icon, the Crew Status Tags option also allows a Player Pirates Gamertag to be displayed from further away and through any obstacles.

Replace Gamertags
Replace Gamertags (found under Settings > Gameplay) is an option to replace all Gametags with pre-made names. This is often referred to as "Streamer mode" as it helps streamers preserve the anonymity of themselves, the players in their crew, and players they encounter to prevent harassment and stream sniping.

Most of these names are references to characters or things from Sea of Thieves lore.
