In this tutorial I show you how to rename your PSN Account ID using the PlayStation 5 interface. I also go over the various issues it may cause with certain games; in particular PS4 ones.

PLEASE READ. Many people in the comments are asking how the name change affects certain games (Fortnite). First make sure you watch from 2:44 onward where I speak about possible issues and the known games that are affected, as well as games that aren't affected. Also see the list I linked in the description. Also do what I suggest at the end, and that is Google your specific game and see if others have problems. If a popular game like Fortnite or GTA, played by millions, has an issue with the name change, it would have been huge news on the Internet.

hey it's your fault if you put a dumb name back on the PS3 or if you started on PS4, people need to think before they put something. Because Nintendo won't let you change anything either, Microsoft is the only one that won't hurt you if you change the name, but they will charge you.

If there’s one question we should be asking Sony, is why haven’t they attempted to rework the online id change feature to ensure that no issues arise and if this can also be resolved for PlayStation users who have already changed their usernames or have reverted back to their old usernames? You can literally change your username on any of Microsoft’s Xbox platforms and nothing will be affected by it. Purchases, trophies, game functionality, save data, saved game data, leaderboard data etc. Why hasn’t Sony tried to make their feature more like the one Xbox has? They’ve had over 4 years to work on it. Why do they need to keep testing games when they could just rework it?

@HowToX Жыл бұрын

I would figure it's because game designers were not programming for a potential name change until halfway through the PS4 lifespan. So many games were put out during that time, and so it was too hard to make the name change function properly on all of them, after the fact.

@OldMysticalTree 4 ай бұрын

They should also make it so that if someone changes their ID, their old one becomes available again to other players just like on Xbox.

In my research I never came across anyone saying they lost purchases. There would have been a public outcry probably. As for someone writing down your ID, I have trouble imagining any kind of malicious thing they can do with it. Those IDs are publicly displayed within games all the time. The most they would be able to do is message you, but you can block users.
