You Can Now Change Your PSN Name On PS4 At Last

Lol, what year is this?

Okay, I’m a Sony fan. I’ve owned exclusively Sony consoles since the PS1. That said, this is kind of a sh*tshow, Sony. It took you this long to implement a NAME change, FFS! And then it only half works. Exactly how bad is your code?

I foresaw all of this so I just took the hit and made a new ID with the PS4 (after trying literally close to 150 names that were all taken). Get it together.

Thankfully your games are quality, which is what matters most, but this is still embarrassing.

So the name tag change has far more consequences than benefits, and on top of that you cant have spaces in those tags as you could on Xbox?

How is it that Microsoft was able to do this so easily while 15 years later Sony can't crack it without so many issues?

Mediocre Name Tag features Awaits!

It took them this long to do something so simple. Get with it.

still like my name.

Kind of janky (this kind of crap always is when it really shouldn't be) but at least they sort of came through. I'll keep my Mexicutioner ID, but I hope they'll work the bugs out at some point.

Don't care anymore. My country is part of the EU and still not listed in the PSN country list. It's obvious they don't want my money. I own PS, PS2, and PS3. Didn't buy PS4.

Welcome to last gen Sony lol.

what about PS2?!

Players wanting to change their ID had to wait till end of PlayStation 4 cycle to be able to do so.

Now all those kids during the PS3 era can change the ridiculous name they chose

how many players will create new usernames without "420" in them? :)

Finally! Thank God!

I have no interest such function. Sony Give me the ability to disable the bar light!

I just wish they would allow us to hide/display game trophies or at least shuffle them in the order we want.

It will be interesting to see how many people change.

I'm fine with the one I have

About time. Can't wait for the 10,000,000 messages saying the name is already in use. Unless of course you choose a name like "TEG45__89754"

Hmmnn, so Sony never gets rid of ID names, even if they are old? Isnt that going to make it that much harder to pick a name without it being used already?

I think that is way more important to be able to change the country of your account than a username. I have an argentinian account and every new game is on 73 usd while other countries have that same game for 49usd. You would think that it would be the other way around considering that South american countries are way worst when it comes to cost of living, etc, but no.

I just mentioned this since I now relocated to Mexico due to my job and the price on PS4 games is exactly the ones people in usa are getting, which is cheaper.

Currently i cannot change the country and I don't want to create and make my master account a mexican one. This since i got too many games on the other one. Also my PS plus is tied to the argentinian one as well.

Sony please help this third world survivor to get fair prices, at the end is all digital and having different prices per country makes no sense at all.

So...it only really works with newer games but not older games? And it can cause stability issues even in the newer ones?

That's not really fixing the issue, Sony.

another irrefutable victory for Sony. microsoft may as well give up, and the xbox owners may as well throw their consoles in the trash

Video Game Boob here I come!

Ok, as it is clear that this comment section is going to be for making the following joke:

"Good, now I can change my name from [insert joke here]"

I expect all y'all to bring your A game jokewise.
