Valorant is a well-liked first-person shooter made by Riot Games, allowing users to change their gaming names in many ways. A big part of this is your display name, which is what other players see when they play matches. If you want to change your name to refresh your look or fix a misspelled word, it is easy to do. Here is a guide on how to change your name.
Your display name is a big part of who you are in the Valorant world. Here are some reasons you might want to change it:
Personal Branding: To match your gaming style or social media pages.
Privacy: To keep a low profile or avoid being known.
Fresh Start: To give yourself a new look.
Corrections: To fix mistakes in your current name.
No matter the reason, Riot Games makes it easy to change.
Things to know before changing your name
Need a Riot ID: Valorant uses Riot IDs for names, so you need this to make a change.
Waiting Time: You can change your Riot ID once every 30 days, so think it through.
If you forgot your password, use the “Forgot Password” link to get a new one.
After you set up your new Riot ID:
Click the Submit or Save button.
Riot Games will check your changes. If your new name is taken, you will need to change it.
Step 5: Verify Changes in Valorant
Log in to Valorant to check your new name:
Look for your name in the main menu and in the game.
If the change is not there, check that you saved it right, log out, then back in.
Be Unique: Pick a name that stands out in the game world.
Keep It Clean: Bad names can lead to being banned.
Memorability: Choose a name that teammates can easily recall.
Stay Consistent: Make sure your Riot ID matches your other gaming names for better branding.
