By Fred, Editor
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

⚠️ Important Things to Know Before Changing
💰 It costs 1,000 Robux
Unlike display names (free), changing your username costs 1,000 Robux every time.
🔗 Old name is released
Your previous username goes back into the pool and can be claimed by anyone — including name squatters.
👥 Friends list updates
Everyone you've friended still sees you, but your new name shows everywhere immediately.
⏳ Think before you pay
Repeated renames cost real Robux. Confirm your choice and check availability first.
✅ Best Practices for Choosing Your New Roblox Name
