Changing Your Roblox Username: Step-by-Step Process
Changing your Roblox username is straightforward, but it comes with a cost and some important limitations you should know about first.
Cost and Requirements
Username changes cost 1,000 Robux (approximately $12.50 USD). You’ll need to have this amount in your account balance before proceeding. This fee applies every time you want to change your username, so choose wisely.
How to Change Your Username
- Log into your Roblox account on the website (not the mobile app)
- Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner and select “Settings”
- Navigate to the Account Info tab on the left sidebar
- Find the Username section and click the pencil/edit icon next to your current username
- Enter your new username in the text field that appears
- Check availability – Roblox will immediately tell you if the name is taken
- Confirm the purchase by clicking “Buy for 1,000 Robux”
Username Requirements and Restrictions
Your new username must meet these criteria:
- 3-20 characters long
- Only letters, numbers, and underscores allowed
- Cannot start or end with an underscore
- Must be unique across all Roblox accounts
- Cannot contain inappropriate language or references
Important Things to Consider
Before spending your Robux, remember that your old username becomes available for others to claim immediately after you change it. There’s no way to reserve or get it back later.
Your friends will still see you in their friends list, but they’ll need to recognize you by your new name. Consider letting close friends know about the change beforehand.
All your game progress, items, and Robux stay with your account regardless of username changes. Only the display name changes – everything else remains intact.
Alternative: Display Name vs Username
If you just want people to see a different name without the cost, consider changing your display name instead. This is free and can be changed once every seven days. Display names appear in most games and social features, while your username remains the same for login purposes.
To change your display name, follow the same steps but look for “Display Name” instead of “Username” in your account settings.
