Changing name in Valorant might not be among the easiest processes, but the game does allow players to do so. For players looking to change their name in Riot Games’ popular FPS, we’ve got you covered.

Player’s Gametag is their identity, but they don’t have access to their preferred username in a specific game. Fortunately, players don’t have to worry about that in Valorant.

While players might not get the name they prefer when they first sign up for the game. They will be able to change it to whatever they want. All they have to do is follow some simple steps.

How to change name in Valorant?

When players first launch the game after they have made an account, they will be asked to select a display name. Any display name will be available and players will be assigned a random tagline with their names unless it’s original. If players have the original username, they will be given the region as their tagline.

If players don’t like the name that they chose when signing up for the game, they can change their Valorant name without any cost by following these simple steps.

  • Close down Valorant if it’s running
  • Now, log into Riot account.
  • Then, go to the Riot ID tab.
  • Now, click on the pen next to Valorant name.
  • Set your new Valorant name and unique tagline if needed.

Players can only change their Valorant username once every month, so they need to be sure of what they want. Once done, players need to relaunch Valorant and it should be updated automatically.

Cost for changing Valorant name?

Players are not required to spend a single penny to change their name in Valorant. For League of Legends or Legends of Runeterra players, this news will come as a relief. The only hurdle in the way to changing the name frequently is the one-month cooldown.

That’s all players should know about how they can change their Valorant name,

Now, they have got their desired name and there’s plenty more to do if players want to become a Radiant.
