Tutorial to learn how to change the username or PS ID of PS4 both through the console and a PC.

It is already possible to change the PS4 ID, the username of each player with a PlayStation Network account, a function much demanded by the players of the Sony console. Therefore, below we offer a complete tutorial on how to change the user name PS4 ID, both from the console and from PC. Of course, the change of ID can cause some problems that we must know before making the change, as we will detail below.

How to change the username (ID) on PS4

Any PS4 user can change their ID as many times as they want, although only the first time is free; as of the second change, the operation will cost 9.99 euros for each change of username; for PS Plus subscribers, however, the price will be 4.99 euros. In addition, games published before April 1, 2018 are not compatible and the change will only be represented on PS4, but not on PS3 and PS Vita.

How to change the username from PS4

The change from the PS4 console itself is very fast and it will not take more than 3 minutes to complete the operation. To do this you just have to go to Settings through the main menu of the console. Now access Account Administration – Account Information, where you can modify various aspects of your PSN account. Now access Profile – ID Online.

After several warnings about changing your username, you just have to enter your personal account information (email and password) and press Accept. Now the system will offer you several alternatives although you can put the name you want as long as it is available.

How to change the username from PC

On the other hand, it is also possible to perform the same operation from a PC with internet access; To do this, go to the official website of the Sony Account Manager through the following link. Enter your personal information (email and password of your account) and select the PSN Profile option in the side menu.

Click on Edit in Online ID and after several warnings about the change of username click on Accept; Now type your new username after checking its availability and click on Confirm to finish.

Possible disadvantages of changing ID

According to Sony, the change of username ID can cause some errors or setbacks such as loss of progress of some games, including saved data, online rankings or trophy unlocking.
