How to Change Your Roblox Username (Step-by-Step Guide)

By

Complete guide to renaming your Roblox account, including the 1,000 Robux fee, the character rules, and how to monitor your dream name for availability.

Why Change Your Roblox Username?

Your Roblox username is the identity everyone sees in-game, in groups, and on your profile. Changing it can help you:

  • Rebrand with a name that matches your YouTube or streaming persona
  • Move away from a username you created years ago as a kid
  • Claim a shorter, cleaner name as it becomes available
  • Match your handle across Roblox, Minecraft, and Twitch
  • Make your name easier to search and remember

๐Ÿ“‹ Step-by-Step: How to Change Your Roblox Username

  1. 1

    Log into Roblox

    Sign in at roblox.com with your account credentials.

  2. 2

    Open Settings

    Click the gear icon in the top-right corner and select "Settings" from the dropdown.

  3. 3

    Go to Account Info

    In Settings, open the "Account Info" tab โ€” this is where your username is shown.

  4. 4

    Choose Edit Username

    Click the pencil icon next to your username. Roblox will show the new-name screen and check availability as you type.

  5. 5

    Pay 1,000 Robux and confirm

    Enter your new name (3-20 characters, letters, numbers, underscores only) and pay the 1,000 Robux fee. Your new username takes effect immediately.

โš ๏ธ Important Things to Know Before Changing

๐Ÿ’ฐ It costs 1,000 Robux

Unlike display names (free), changing your username costs 1,000 Robux every time.

๐Ÿ”— Old name is released

Your previous username goes back into the pool and can be claimed by anyone โ€” including name squatters.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Friends list updates

Everyone you've friended still sees you, but your new name shows everywhere immediately.

โณ Think before you pay

Repeated renames cost real Robux. Confirm your choice and check availability first.
