Where to find your username in the game

Your Apex Legends username appears in the top left corner of your screen during gameplay, next to your character's name and level. If you are in a match, look above your health bar — that is your in-game name. The easiest way to confirm it without launching a match is to open the main menu after logging in and look at the top of the screen, where your username and account level display together.

If you cannot see your username clearly on screen, go to the Settings menu from the main lobby. Select Account, then Profile. Your username will be listed there along with your account creation date and platform.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username appears in the top left corner during gameplay and in the main menu next to your account level.
  • On PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, you can view your username in Settings > Account > Profile without starting a match.
  • Your Apex username is different from your platform username — Apex lets you set a custom name separate from your Steam, PSN, or Xbox Live account.
  • If you cannot remember your username, check your recent match history on the platform's companion app or website.

Finding your username on PC

On PC, launch Apex Legends through Steam or Origin and log into your account. Once you reach the main menu, your username displays in the upper left area of the screen. If you are already in a match, pause the game and look at the top left — your name appears above your health bar.

You can also check your username through the EA App. Open the launcher, go to your account settings, and select Profile. Your Apex username will be listed there. This method works whether you play through Steam or Origin, since both connect to the same EA account.

Finding your username on PlayStation

Start Apex Legends on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. From the main menu, your username appears in the top left corner of the screen next to your level. You do not need to start a match to see it.

If you want to check your username outside the game, you can also view it through the PlayStation App on your phone or through the EA website. Log into your EA account on a web browser, go to your profile, and your Apex username will be displayed there. This is useful if you want to share your username with someone without launching the game.

Finding your username on Xbox

Launch Apex Legends on your Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S. Your username displays in the top left corner of the main menu, right next to your account level. You can see it without entering a match.

You can also check through the Xbox App on PC or through the EA website. Log into your EA account, navigate to your profile, and your Apex username will be shown. Since Xbox accounts connect to your EA account, both methods will show the same username.

Checking your username through the companion app

The official Apex Legends companion app, available on iOS and Android, displays your username on your profile page. Open the app, log in with your EA account, and tap on your profile icon. Your username appears at the top of your profile section, along with your rank, level, and recent match statistics.

This method is helpful if you want to check your username while away from your console or PC. The app also shows your match history, which can help you confirm your username if you are unsure — your name appears in the kill feed and match results.

What to do if you cannot find your username

If your username does not appear in the expected places, make sure you are logged into the correct EA account. Some players have multiple accounts, and usernames are tied to specific EA accounts rather than platform accounts. Log out completely and log back in to confirm you are on the right account.

If you still cannot locate your username, visit the EA Help website and log into your account there. Your profile page will display your Apex username, account creation date, and linked platforms. This is the most reliable way to confirm your username if the in-game display is not working or unclear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Apex username the same as my PlayStation or Xbox username?

No. Your Apex username is separate from your platform username. You set your Apex name when you first play the game, and it can be different from your PSN, Xbox Live, or Steam name. This is why you need to check within Apex or your EA account to find your specific Apex username.

Can I see other players' usernames?

Yes. In matches, you see your teammates' usernames above their characters. In the kill feed, you see the usernames of players who eliminated you or were eliminated. You can also search for players by username on the EA website or through third-party stat tracking sites like Apex Legends Status.

What if I forgot my username and cannot log in?

Go to the EA Help website and use the account recovery option. You can recover your account using your email address or phone number. Once you regain access, log in and check your profile to see your username. If you still cannot remember it, contact EA Support directly through their help portal.

Does my username show up in my match history?

Yes. Your username appears in your match history on the companion app, the EA website, and third-party stat sites. You can review past matches to confirm your username — it will be listed as the player name in each match result.
