The gaming platform, Roblox, has over 150 million users, all with their own unique usernames. However, the Roblox developers announced on Feb. 9 that Display Names will be coming to Roblox, although they didn’t say when. This means that Roblox users will now be able to have their own Display Name and username.

Display names are a Roblox feature announced on the Developer Forum on February 9, 2021, and released worldwide on June 8, 2021. The feature is similar to Twitter's display names, where on the user's profile, their display name shows up.

Releases
