Changing your Epic Games display name is straightforward and can be done within minutes.
What Is an Epic Games Display Name?
An Epic Games display name is the name you will use in any Epic Games title. It appears on the Epic Games launcher, their AnswerHub, and when you play any of their games (such as Fortnite) on PC/ Mac, Switch, or mobile.
If you’re playing an Epic Games title on PSN/ Xbox Live, you can create an Epic Games account and link it to it, to have a different display name to that of your Gamertag/ PSN name.
How to Change Your Epic Games Display Name
The quickest and easiest way to change your Epic Games display name is to change it via the Epic Games website. Please note that once you’ve changed your name, you won’t be able to do so again for two weeks. This is a perfect time to change your display name if you’re no longer happy with it, as new social features arrive for Epic Games. By following these steps, you’ll be able to change your Epic Games display name.
Head to the Epic Games account info webpage. Click the Pencil icon next to your display name. Type in your new desired display name, and then again to confirm it. Check the I Understand box. Click Save.
You should now have your new desired Epic Games Display Name.
Say My Name
Epic Games titles are often based on style, incorporating a strong sense of community and having your own identity. Games like Fortnite are a perfect example. If you’ve made an account a couple of years ago that has a display name that no longer feels like ‘you’, then changing the display name is the best option.
