Wondering how to change your Roblox name for something fresh and exciting? Perhaps the one you add at the time of account creation would not be best at all. Well, in Roblox, you can easily change either your display or username in just a couple of seconds.
Difference Between Username and Display Name on Roblox
The term username and display name are used correspondingly in a lot of circumstances. However, they are two different things in Roblox. Here is a quick round-up:
- Every player’s Username must be unique, but display names are common and shareable. There are a few rejections, like imitating Roblox staff or well-known streamers, but they are certain and unusual.
- Roblox charges 1000 Robux to change a player’s username. However, changing the display name is free.
- You can change your Roblox display name for free. However, if you want to change your Roblox username, you have to pay 1000 Robux.
- In most cases, the display name is the primary thing other players will see, but both names are visible to everyone.
For instance, Roblox displays the name function as the same as names on Twitter X. The Username is even set out with a @ under the display name on a user’s page, the same as X (Twitter).
How to Change Your Display Name in Roblox
To convert your current display name to a new one, follow these simple steps:
- Sign in to your Roblox account and open the account information settings. PC users, either Windows or MacBook, can open it by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Mobile users, either iPhone or Android, can open the More option by clicking on the three dots icon.
- Navigate to the Change Display Name menu and click the edit icon.
- Then, enter your new Display Name and hit the Save button.
- Refresh the page, and your new Roblox Display Name will be visible.
Things to Remember While Changing the Roblox Display Name
There are a few important points to keep in mind when you change your Roblox name.
- Your new desired name must pass the Roblox text filter to make sure it meets the community rules.
- You can’t use the same name as high-profile users.
- The display name must be between 3 to 21 characters.
- Nickname should only contain letters, numbers, and underscores.
- After every seven days, you will be able to change your Roblox display name.
How to Change Your Username in Roblox
If you want to change your Roblox username, here’s how:
- Sign in to your Roblox account and open the Account Info settings. PC users can open it by clicking the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Smartphone users can open it through the three dots icon for the More options.
- Navigate to the Change Username menu and click the edit pencil icon.
- Enter your new username and press the Save button.
| Note: Remember that changing the username is not free. It requires almost 1000 Robux (in-game currency of Roblox), even if you want to change the upper and lower case of your name. |
Don’t forget that usernames are unique for every account and start with an @. You can not set a username that belongs to another Roblox account. Other players can still able to see your former usernames and your original account creation date will carry over.
