Yes, you can change your Roblox username, but it costs Robux and has limits

Roblox lets you change your username, but not for free and not as often as you might want. The first change costs 1,000 Robux. Any change after that costs 1,000 Robux each time. You can change your username once every 30 days — if you try to change it again before 30 days have passed, the system will block you and tell you when you can try next.

The change takes effect when ready once you confirm it. Your old username becomes available for someone else to claim after a short delay. Any games you created, items you own, or friends you made stay attached to your account — they follow your new username, not your old one.

If you have never changed your username before, you will see the option to do so in your account settings. If you have changed it before, you will see when you are allowed to change it again.

Key Takeaways

  • Your first username change costs 1,000 Robux, and each change after that also costs 1,000 Robux.
  • You can only change your username once every 30 days, and the system will tell you the exact date you can change it again.
  • Your account, friends list, inventory, and games all stay with you when you change your username.
  • Your old username becomes available for other players to claim after you change it.

Where to find the username change option

Go to the Roblox website and sign into your account. Click the gear icon in the top right corner and select Settings. On the left side, click Account. You will see a section labeled Username with your current name displayed.

If you have never changed your username, you will see a button that says Change Username. Click it, type your new username, and confirm the cost in Robux. If you have changed your username before, the same button will show you the date when you can change it again. The button will be greyed out until that date arrives.

What happens to your old username

Once you change your username, your old one does not stay reserved for you. After a waiting period, other players can claim it. This means if you change from "PlayerOne" to "PlayerTwo," someone else can eventually sign up as "PlayerOne." You cannot get your old username back unless you change your name again and happen to claim it before anyone else does.

Your account history, however, stays completely intact. Games you built, Robux you earned, friends you made, and items in your inventory all remain attached to your account. When other players look at your profile or see you in a game, they will see only your new username — your old one will not appear anywhere.

How much Robux you need and where to get it

A username change requires 1,000 Robux. You can buy Robux directly through the Roblox website or app using real money. The cost varies depending on how many Robux you buy at once — buying in larger bundles usually gives you more Robux per dollar spent.

You can also earn Robux through the Roblox Developer Exchange program if you create games or items that other players buy. However, this takes time and requires building something that other players want. For a quick username change, buying Robux is the most direct route.

Restrictions and things to know before you change

Roblox has rules about what usernames are allowed. Your new username cannot contain certain words, cannot be longer than 20 characters, and cannot be only numbers. If you try to use a username that breaks these rules, the system will reject it and ask you to try a different name.

You also cannot change your username if your account is under 13 years old and has parental controls enabled. Some accounts created by younger players have restrictions that prevent username changes. If you see a message saying you cannot change your username, check your account settings to see if parental controls are blocking it.

Once you confirm a username change, it cannot be undone. You cannot change your mind and get your old name back without paying another 1,000 Robux and waiting 30 days. Make sure you are happy with your new username before you confirm the change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username more than once?

Yes, you can change your username as many times as you want, but each change costs 1,000 Robux and you must wait 30 days between changes. The system will show you the exact date you are allowed to change it again.

What if someone else takes my old username?

Your account and everything on it stays with you under your new username. Your old username becomes available for others to claim, but this does not affect your games, friends, or inventory. You can claim your old username back only if you change your name again and someone has not already taken it.

Do I lose my games or items when I change my username?

No. Your games, items, Robux balance, and friends list all stay attached to your account. Only your display name changes. Other players will see your new username, but everything you own and created remains yours.

Can I change my username if I am under 13?

It depends on your account settings. If your account has parental controls enabled, you may not be able to change your username. Check your account settings to see if restrictions are in place. If they are, a parent or guardian may need to adjust the settings.

What if my new username is already taken?

The system will tell you the username is not available and ask you to choose a different one. You can try as many different names as you want before you confirm the change — you only pay the 1,000 Robux once you actually confirm a name that is available.
