Things Need to Know When Changing Name

What you Need to Know When Changing an Epic Name 

You can change your epic name using a mobile phone. Both Android and iPhone allow players to change their name, except that you will use Safari as your browser when using iPhone. All other steps remain constant.

You can change your epic name for free when using your mobile phone. But when using consoles like Xbox or PS4, the cost is $10.  This is because when you register your epic game account with the consoles, it captures the PSN ID as opposed to your real epic game name.

Note that when registering your name for the first time using the Xbox or PlayStation account it is always free. But when changing the user name, you are not only amending your name but your console ID too hence the charge.

You are at liberty to change your epic name as much as you want when using Xbox One or PlayStation because they charge their users. However, if you are using android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Mac, or a PC version, you will have to wait for two weeks to change your epic name.


Final Thoughts

Several reasons can make you feel like changing your epic game name. Apart from it being boring, you might have been using one for a very long period.

Alternatively, someone might have logged in to your account, without your knowledge and used your name as theirs.

Use the simple steps given to come up with a strong epic name to your preference. Remember you’re at liberty to change whenever you want to.
