Updated December 20, 2021
There are a couple of ways to create your Xbox account. Read on and follow these easy steps to get your account running in no time.
Create your Microsoft account
A Microsoft account is needed to create an Xbox account. An Xbox account is different from a Microsoft account, but you may use the same email for both.
To create a Microsoft account, go to the Microsoft website and click the profile icon at the top-right corner of the site. You will be directed to the Sign In page.
Under the space where the Email Address is entered, you will see: No account? Create one!. Click on Create One and you will be directed to the Sign Up page.
Enter your email address, and follow the prompts on the screen to complete the sign-up process. Once you completed all the steps, you now have a Microsoft account.
*If you wish to use a new email address from Microsoft (outlook.com or hotmail.com), click Get a new email address. Otherwise, use the email address you currently have.
