How to Change your PlayStation Online ID Name using your PS4 Console

To change your PlayStation Online ID (your display name on PSN) using your PS4 console, follow these steps:
Go to Settings: From the PS4 home screen, press the "Up" button on your controller to access the main menu, then scroll to and select Settings (the toolbox icon).

Navigate to Account Management: Scroll down and select Account Management.

Access Account Information: Choose Account Information.

Select Profile: Scroll to Profile and press "X" to select it.

Choose Online ID: Select Online ID. You’ll see your current ID and an option to edit it.

Enter Password (if prompted): For security, you may need to input your PSN password. Use the on-screen keyboard and select Confirm.

Enter New Online ID: Type your desired new Online ID using the on-screen keyboard. It must be unique, follow PSN guidelines (no profanity or offensive terms), and be 3-16 characters long using letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores.

Check Availability: After entering your new ID, select Check Availability. If it’s taken, you’ll need to try a different one—PS4 may suggest variations (e.g., adding numbers).

Review Warnings: The first change is free; subsequent changes cost $9.99 (or $4.99 for PS Plus members). You’ll see a warning about potential game compatibility issues (rare, but some older games might not display the new ID correctly). Confirm you’re okay with this.

Confirm Change: Select Continue or Confirm. You’ll need to agree to the terms and finalize the change.

Sign Out and Back In: After confirmation, you may be signed out. Sign back in with your email (Sign-in ID) and password to apply the new Online ID.
