Yes, you can change your Geometry Dash username, but only once every 30 days

Geometry Dash lets you rename your account through the settings menu in the game itself. The process takes about two minutes. However, the game enforces a 30-day waiting period between changes — once you change your username, you cannot change it again for 30 days from that date.

This cooldown applies whether you change it once or multiple times. If you changed your username yesterday, you will have to wait 29 more days before you can change it again. The timer resets each time you make a change, so plan your new username carefully.

Key Takeaways

  • You change your username through Settings > Account in the Geometry Dash game client, not through a website.
  • A 30-day cooldown begins when ready after you change your username, and you cannot bypass or shorten this wait.
  • Your old username becomes available for other players to claim once you change it.
  • Changing your username does not affect your progress, levels, or account data — only the name other players see.

Where to find the username change option

Open Geometry Dash and tap or click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner of the main menu to enter Settings. From there, select the Account tab. You will see your current username displayed, along with a button or field to change it.

Type your new username into the text field. Usernames can be up to 20 characters long and can include letters, numbers, and underscores. Once you enter the new name and confirm the change, the game will update your account when ready.

What happens to your old username

When you change your username, your old one is released back into the pool of available names. Another player can claim it as soon as the change goes through. If you think you might want to use that name again later, you should know that you cannot reserve it — someone else may take it.

Your account history, levels, and progress remain tied to your account number, not your username. Changing the name does not erase anything or move your data anywhere. Other players will straightforward see your new name on leaderboards and in multiplayer.

The 30-day cooldown explained

The cooldown is a hard limit built into the game. You cannot pay to skip it, contact support to override it, or use any workaround to change your username before 30 days have passed. The timer starts the moment you confirm your change and counts down in real time.

This rule exists to prevent spam, account takeovers, and rapid name-switching that would confuse other players. If you realize you made a typo or chose a name you do not like, you will have to wait the full 30 days before you can fix it.

Choosing a username you will keep

Because of the 30-day wait, it makes sense to think through your new username before you change it. Check that the spelling is correct, that it is not too similar to another player's name, and that it is something you will be happy with for at least a month.

Keep in mind that usernames are public and visible to everyone who plays Geometry Dash. Avoid usernames that include personal information like your real name, age, or location. Once a username is out there, other players can see it even if you change it later.

What does not change when you rename

Your account ID, progress, levels, and statistics all stay exactly the same. Any levels you created remain yours. Your position on leaderboards updates to show your new name, but your scores and rankings do not reset. Friends will see your new username the next time they log in, but your friendship connections do not break.

If you were banned or suspended, changing your username does not lift the ban. Your account restrictions follow your account ID, not your username. Similarly, if you have a custom profile picture or bio, those stay attached to your account.

If you cannot find the username change option

Make sure you are logged into your account in Geometry Dash. The username change option only appears when you are signed in. If you are playing as a guest or offline, you will not see the Account settings tab.

If you are logged in but still cannot find the option, check that you are using the latest version of the game. Older versions may not have the username change feature. Update Geometry Dash through your app store or game launcher and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username more than once?

Yes, but you must wait 30 days between each change. After you change your username, the next change will not be available for 30 days. You can change it as many times as you want over time, as long as you respect the cooldown period.

What if someone takes my old username?

Once you change your username, your old one is available for anyone to claim. If another player takes it, you cannot get it back unless they change their username later and release it. There is no way to reserve or reclaim an old username.

Does changing my username affect my levels or progress?

No. Your levels, scores, and all account data stay exactly the same. Only the name displayed next to your account changes. Other players will see your new name on leaderboards and in multiplayer, but nothing else about your account is affected.

Can I change my username if I am banned?

Technically yes, but the ban follows your account ID, not your username. Changing your name will not remove a ban or suspension. Your account restrictions remain in place regardless of what name you use.

What characters can I use in my username?

Geometry Dash usernames can include letters, numbers, and underscores. The maximum length is 20 characters. Special characters like spaces, hyphens, or punctuation marks are not allowed.
