Changing Your Roblox Username: Step-by-Step Process<\/h2>\n

Changing your Roblox username is straightforward, but it comes with a cost and some important limitations you should know about first.<\/p>\n

Cost and Requirements<\/h3>\n

Username changes cost 1,000 Robux<\/strong> (approximately $12.50 USD). You\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n

How to Change Your Username<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Log into your Roblox account<\/strong> on the website (not the mobile app)<\/li>\n
  2. Click the gear icon<\/strong> in the upper-right corner and select \u201cSettings\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Navigate to the Account Info tab<\/strong> on the left sidebar<\/li>\n
  4. Find the Username section<\/strong> and click the pencil\/edit icon next to your current username<\/li>\n
  5. Enter your new username<\/strong> in the text field that appears<\/li>\n
  6. Check availability<\/strong> \u2013 Roblox will immediately tell you if the name is taken<\/li>\n
  7. Confirm the purchase<\/strong> by clicking \u201cBuy for 1,000 Robux\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Username Requirements and Restrictions<\/h3>\n

    Your new username must meet these criteria:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 3-20 characters long<\/li>\n
    • Only letters, numbers, and underscores allowed<\/li>\n
    • Cannot start or end with an underscore<\/li>\n
    • Must be unique across all Roblox accounts<\/li>\n
    • Cannot contain inappropriate language or references<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Important Things to Consider<\/h3>\n

      Before spending your Robux, remember that your old username becomes available for others to claim immediately after you change it. There\u2019s no way to reserve or get it back later.<\/p>\n

      Your friends will still see you in their friends list, but they\u2019ll need to recognize you by your new name. Consider letting close friends know about the change beforehand.<\/p>\n

      All your game progress, items, and Robux stay with your account regardless of username changes. Only the display name changes \u2013 everything else remains intact.<\/p>\n

      Alternative: Display Name vs Username<\/h3>\n

      If you just want people to see a different name without the cost, consider changing your display name<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

      To change your display name, follow the same steps but look for \u201cDisplay Name\u201d instead of \u201cUsername\u201d in your account settings.<\/p>\n
