How to Change Your Name on Roblox

Posted by: - Updated: August 17st, 2022

When you register on any online gaming site, the first thing that goes through your head is to choose the nickname coolest you can think of at the time. But what if over time you come up with a better one? Obviously, the answer is “change it”, and as with other platforms, Roblox gives you that option, provided you meet certain requirements.

Rename roblox

In this guide we explain how to change your username easily and in a few steps. But first, let's clear something up.

How many names can a user have? Roblox?

Before going to the point, it is important that you know what are the two ways to identify yourself on the platform.

The first is with a username or user name. This is part of the information you provide to Roblox at the time of registration. That is, it is the first thing you write when entering your data, in addition to your date of birth and your gender.

The username must be unique, as if it were an email, so it is not allowed to use one that corresponds to another player.

Then there is your display name or display name. Its function is to show who you are within the platform games

The display name differs from your username in that the former is not exclusively linked to your account, which means you can use an original one or just copy one you like.

But there is still one last difference that you should know: changing your display name is free, while choosing another username will cost you nothing less than 1000 robux.

Now that you know this, it's time to learn the step-by-step procedure.

How to change your username on different devices

Choosing another username requires you to follow the same procedure on basically every device from which you can access Roblox.

PC or Mac

The first thing you should do is enter the official website Roblox.com and log injust like you always do.

Then go to the section Configuration clicking on the cogwheel. This icon is located at the top right of your profile.

Then go to the tab Account Information. There you will see both the display name and the username. To the right of each option, you'll see a small pencil icon. By clicking, you will be able to edit it.

Finally, you only have to make the payment corresponding to 1000 robux to change the username permanently.

iPhone and Android mobile phones

The name change is done in a similar way on both devices. Also, you do not need to enter the main page, since you can do it from the mobile application.

First, go to the app Robloxeither on iOS or Android. When you have entered your account, click on the three dots located in the upper right corner.

Now select the option Configuration. Then, Account information. This will be displayed in a new window.

Once you've done this, there are only two more steps left: 1) choose your new name and 2) enter your password into the app.

And ready! you can now pay the 1000 robux to end the operation.

Xbox and PS4

There are two tricks that can be useful to change your username in Roblox from an Xbox or PS4 console.

The first is that if you log in from Xbox you have the possibility to use your gamertag and play games, start a chat or join other forums this way.

If you still want to change your username, just make sure you have the number of Robux required and perform the procedure as explained above.

In case you need buy some Robux to complete the sum, you can do via Xbox Live website.

Finally, you can perform this procedure through your PS4 console just as if you were doing it through a computer. You can even use the browser that your Play Station 4 has built-in by default.

And this is all you need to know. Now you no longer have excuses to choose a new username that suits you more.

How do I change my display name?

For just over a year, in 2021, Roblox it surprised its users (including me) by allowing the display name to be changed. Best of all, you can do it without spending a single Robux.

The procedure is the next:

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Head to Settings.
  3. Click on the cogwheel. If you perform the procedure from a mobile phone, select the three points and you will see more options.
  4. Go to Account Information. Then continue to Display Name.
  5. Click on the pencil and paper icon.
  6. Enter the new nickname and then click Save.

Clever! You already have a new display name.
