Question Please help Gamertag confusion

Carlysue

Hello. My boyfriend is playing fortnite with his friends. When there are in the lobby his gamer tag is something different. They had joked about him changing his name to this and now that’s what they see although when he is in game playing his actual gamer tag is showing. It’s not a problem we were just wondering how this is possible when the name that his friends see was never put into the console it was only talked about over the Xbox headsets

You sure there not winding him up, by saying it’s what they see, whilst in fact they are only really seeing his actual gamer tag?

What he sees will be what they see
