It's a testament to just how TERRIBLY they originally set up the PSN that it is this hard for them to allow name changes.
play station users finally get to change their name after over a decade ! what an amazing miracle of technology !

The themes and vr are cool, but they changing your psn name shouldnt even be a feature that had to be added.
Man this guy Shawn Layden is so cool
Thank goodness, I made mine when I was ten, I desperately need to change it
LMAO maybe it's 10 years too late, but we're finally getting it! I remember I had to create a new PSN account a long time ago because I realized nobody over the age of 12 would take the name "pussysl4yer" seriously.

They didn't let PS users do either for ages.
What I think you'll do is you can change your gamertag once for free and then you'll have to wait about 2 months or even more to change it again. Like KZread for example you could change it then you'll have to wait about a month to change your name again
ok next psx lets see if this has to be questioned again

You can do that already. You can just hide the game away from the list.
Changing ID is a very simple concept, any half-decent coder or logician will be able to come up with an algorithm that will allow users to change their ID. Most algorithms will work depending on whether or not PlayStation have used the correct data structures.

SNYPZ HDG Technically Sony was going to give people the option awhile but the players wanted Avatars, Themes and customizable backgrounds and even when the switch came from ps3 to ps4 people wanted Avatars over a name change again so yeah.
How is it that difficult if Microsoft has had it for years on the 360 and xbone? Hell steam allows you to change your game ID as many times as you'd like. Sure your steam ID is permanent but still.
@JoeMitchell868
6 жыл бұрын
Quinn Whiteley Well actually it is difficult. When Sony were setting up the network, whoever was engineering incorrectly coded the ID process. From what I can gather, you can change your name if you call up Sony. But you would lose all of your trophy history and I think even your purchases. I'm not entirely sure how and why but it's a complete mess. I guess they hired incompetent engineers back in the day.
@rafaelcole8082

You kinda answered your own questiin, your psn is equivilent to a steam id and username combined they are not independent unlike steam, xbox and the switch. So it is a lot harder to enable since it is an id change

About frigging time! You would of thought with all the money from online subscriptions this generation they'd of implemented this sooner. I guess better late then never springs to mind.
Let us changed our region too.
Finally out there asking the real questions
All though there should be some type of guidelines to change. People shouldn’t be able to change like their Facebook profile pic. That’ll cause too much of a headache.

Christopher .Cruse They should just do it like Xbox. Your first name change is free and then they charge a fee for subsequent name changes.
Please for the love of god, can we also be able to change our country of origin as well. I was moving to Australia from New Zealand, which I'm now not able to change, cannot purchase anything on this account of mine that I use. Super pumped for the name change though!
Blizzard's battletags system is still the best. If only Sony would implement something like that.

It’s really awesome that you can now change your psn name but honestly at first when I got my PS4 I didn’t mind that I couldn’t change it because it’s like a tattoo or something that you can’t change and you really have to think about it but now I think I can change my psn name because it’s a console

ViciousBane 56 I've had my psn name since the ps3 inception. I was young didn't think I couldn't ever change it so glad i can get rid of my generic name.
That's actually a very good feature that should be added. I will never be changing my psn name though :)
And then PSX 2018 got cancelled LMAO
It’s gonna be so weird seeing my friends with different names
Knowing this, you'd have thought users would put more effort into their choice of name. But a nice touch for those who didn't.
I'm hyped for this when I shouldn't be. We should have had this a few year ago especially with all of their sales. Might just make a video on this...

They should make people switch into a different account altogether to basically “rebuild” all accounts in a simple way so as to streamline the process.
Finally I want to change the for my Psn named police and change it to Police
for me its looked and sounded more like a treat lol
I finally made a new PSN name recently since my PSN name back in 2008ish is garbage now. Finally.. I can keep all my games and trophies. Or should I give my hopes up?

CRAZY6256 thats Sony's fault for designing their system that way. Look at Steam. Not only can you look up on a friend's history of past aliases and pseudonames, you can even personally label them (for your reference only), so you can easily keep track of their dozen name changes

Not necessarily. If they implement better software, they could pull off having their whole gaming community changing their names at the same time, and still have more efficient data left to do other things. Time will tell
