Display names are back! For every Roblox fan out there, we have some very exciting news to share, as it seems the option to change your Display Name is coming back! While this was something implemented a while ago in the game, it was a feature that was removed almost instantly, right after it went live due to misuse from certain individuals.
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.
While Roblox users will still be able to see our usernames, our Display Names will appear “in chat, player lists, or above your in-game character’s head.” The other major difference between Display Names and usernames is that we’ll actually be able to change our Display Names.
Your display name and username will be visible on Roblox and associated experiences You can only change your display name one time every seven days. Display names must follow Roblox Community Rules and terms of use or may be reset to your Username. Other players may also have the same display name.
When you open Roblox, click on the Gear icon in the upper right corner. Open a new window and select Account Info. Click on the Change Display name option. Please enter the name that you would like to choose from the above list. After entering the name, click on the Save button.
The feature was first released on February 18, 2021, for one hour in Germany to test the feature to a relatively small audience. Players outside of Germany could have used a virtual private network to access the update. During this release, some players created display names containing inappropriate phrases or symbols.
Many users have criticized display names for making it easier to impersonate other players. Sometimes, games only show their normal username instead of the display name. In an effort to prevent impersonation, usernames of some famous YouTubers and administrators were censored in the May release of the update.
Sometimes, if a user gets a ban or a warning, the display name of their account will be reset to their username, even if the reason for the ban or warning is unrelated to the display name. However, this does not always happen.
Roblox now allows all users worldwide to change your Roblox account's display name in the account settings as a free feature. This is different than Changing a Username.
