Change Your Online ID on the PlayStation Network

Q: Can I transfer an online ID from one account I own to a different account I own?
A: Online ID’s are tied to the original account they were registered on. There is no way to move an online from one account to another, regardless of who the owners of the accounts are.

Q: How do I know if an online ID is available?
A: The best way to know if an online ID is available is to simply type it in the online ID field. You’ll see a message in red should the name be unavailable.

Q: Can I request an inactive ID be made available?
A: All ID’s are permanently attached to the account they were originally created for. This means they can’t be removed or made available.

I wanted to change it long back and rename myself something tachy like bootyhunter but I'm glad it's just prithvibumia

I love how they have that sweet and soft music playing in the background, until you get those hidden problems that have when you are changing your name. 😭



P.S, I changed my name and nothing happened, I still have ALL of my data and trophies. So do not worry !

[mrpickles]

Ps4 you have been the best this year, thank you!!!

Good bye Carbodeluxe.. since 2011 😭 too much nostalgia

[israeltovar]

I’m just gonna keep my gamer tag now because everyone know me by it

[nocturn]

Could you please add this for sub-accounts? Adults aren't the only ones who want this. I made my name a long time ago, and I'd rather it not be what it is. But I'd also rather not wait five years.
