How To Change Your Username on Roblox

It is not a secret for anyone that most of us don’t invest a lot of time thinking about the username of our Roblox account.

At the end of the day, we just want to have some fun and interact with other players in this wonderful game!

Still, some users might regret their old username decision and now want to change it as soon as possible.

But one thing is to change display names, and another is to choose an entirely different Roblox username.

That’s why if you want to start a new journey using a brand-new username, take note and continue reading to get more information about:

• How to change your username on Roblox;
• Differences between User and Display Roblox name;
• Details and restrictions you must know about Name Changes Processes.

3 Things to Consider Before You Change Roblox Username

First of all, it’s important to mention that we highly recommend changing your name on the Roblox website by clicking on the following link: Roblox.com.

You can also do this on the app, but it’s messier. So, before you sign in using your browser, it’s important for you to know three fundamental things related to usernames in this game.

1. Roblox Username Limitations

There are 4 factors related to Name Change Restriction that all users must know before they decide to change their names once and for all:

1. You can’t change your name for free. This is a paid service offered by the company, which is why you need to carefully think before you decide to change usernames;
2. You can’t swap usernames between Roblox accounts;
3. All the account info tab data, such as old forum posts and original account creation date, will remain the same.
4. If another user wants to find you, they will still be able to see the past names of your account.

2. You Need 1,000 Robux to Change Your Username

In some games, players can change their name for free. This isn’t the case on the Roblox name since many players were creating more than one Roblox account just to have access to new usernames.

Remember that Robux is the game premium currency used to buy stuff and obtain new features.

Previous usernames are stored in the Roblox database, which also happens when someone Changes Group Name on Roblox.

But if you want to get rid of your previous username, you must have enough Robux - more precisely, you need 1,000 Robux.

It doesn’t matter if you just want to make simple changes to your old username - you still need to pay 1,000 Robux, which is equivalent to 12,50 USD. Nothing is free in this world!

3. Roblox Display name vs. Roblox Usernames

So, at this point, it is clear that there’s a difference between username and Roblox display name. These features are common in games like Roblox, so you might be familiar with them.

• Your Username is permanently linked to your account info, and it can’t be changed for free;
• Your Display Name is visible on a group, and you can modify it at your will;
• You can change your display name once every 7 days, while you can change your username if you have enough Robux in your account.

How to Change Your Display Name on Roblox

Choosing a new display name is really easy! Since everyone can do it, you just need to follow two quick steps.

Step 1: Go to Account Settings

Log in to your account first. After you log in with your password, you must click on the gear icon that appears in the top right corner.

Then, choose the following options shown on the screen.

Step 2: Press or Click the “Change Display Name” Button

How to Change Your Current Username On Roblox

Now, let’s change your permanent name on Roblox. In order to choose your username, log in once again (preferably via a web browser) and follow these steps.

Step 1: Click the Gear Icon and Go to Settings

Go to Account Settings by clicking the icon that appears in the upper right corner. In case you do this on the mobile app, then consider that instead of a settings icon, you need to tap on the three dots icon.

Once you are on Settings, it’s necessary to click the “Edit” button, which looks like a paper and pencil.

Remember that you are about to change your username, not your display name. That’s why Roblox will ask you to type in your account password and the new name you want to have:

Step 3: Choose a New Username and Press the “Buy” Button

Here, just type in the new username of your account and press “Buy.” Since this isn’t free, be sure to have the required Robux on your account:
