Change your username through the game settings or online account

You can change your Geometry Dash username in two ways: directly in the game itself if you play offline, or through your RobTop Games account if you play online. The method depends on whether you have linked your game to an account. If you play with a local profile that is not connected to the internet, you edit the name in the game settings. If you have created a RobTop Games account and linked it to Geometry Dash, you change the username on the RobTop website instead — the game pulls your name from there each time you log in.

The reason for this split is that RobTop Games (the company behind Geometry Dash) stores online usernames on their servers so that leaderboards, level comments, and multiplayer features all show the same name. Local usernames stay only on your device. Changing one does not change the other, so you need to know which type of account you have before you start.

Key Takeaways

  • Local usernames (not linked to RobTop Games) are changed in the game settings under Options, then Account, then Edit Name.
  • Online usernames linked to a RobTop Games account must be changed on the RobTop website, not in the game itself.
  • You can change your username once every 30 days on the RobTop website, and the change takes effect the next time you log in to the game.
  • If you have not linked your game to an account yet, you can do so in the game settings, and then manage your username on the RobTop website.

Change a local username in the game settings

If you play Geometry Dash without linking to a RobTop Games account, your username exists only on your device. To change it, open Geometry Dash and tap or click the gear icon in the bottom right corner to open Options. Then select Account from the menu on the left side.

Look for a button or field labeled Edit Name or Change Name. Tap or click it, delete your current username, type the new one, and confirm the change. The game saves it when ready. The next time you open Geometry Dash, your new name appears in the main menu and in any levels you play offline.

This method works on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. The exact button labels and menu layout vary slightly between versions, but the path is always Options → Account → Edit Name.

Change an online username on the RobTop website

If you have linked your Geometry Dash account to RobTop Games, you must change your username on the RobTop website, not in the game. Go to robtopgames.com and log in with the email and password you used to create your RobTop account. Once you are logged in, look for Account Settings or Profile Settings in the menu.

Find the Username field and click Edit or Change. Type your new username and save the change. RobTop allows one username change every 30 days, so if you changed it recently, you will see a message telling you when you can change it again. The new username takes effect the next time you launch Geometry Dash and log in to your RobTop account.

Your new username will appear on the leaderboards, in level comments, and in any multiplayer features within 24 hours. If you see your old name still showing in the game, close the app completely and reopen it to force a refresh.

Link your game to a RobTop Games account if you have not already

If you have been playing with a local username and want to move to an online account, you can link your game to RobTop Games at any time. Open Geometry Dash, go to Options, select Account, and look for a button that says Link Account, Connect to RobTop, or Register. Tap or click it and follow the prompts to create a new RobTop Games account or log in to an existing one.

Once linked, your local username does not automatically become your online username. You will need to set a separate username on the RobTop website. After linking, go to robtopgames.com, log in, and set your username in Account Settings. From that point forward, you manage your username only on the website, and the game always shows the name stored there.

Understand the 30-day waiting period for online username changes

RobTop Games enforces a 30-day cooldown between username changes on their website. This means once you change your username, you cannot change it again for 30 days. The timer starts from the moment you save the change, not from the end of the day.

If you try to change your username before 30 days have passed, the website will show you the exact date and time when you can change it again. This rule applies only to online usernames managed through RobTop Games. Local usernames in the game settings have no such restriction and can be changed as often as you want.

Troubleshoot a username that will not change

If you change your username in the game settings but it does not stick, you may have a local account that is not actually saved. Close Geometry Dash completely and reopen it. If the old name reappears, the change did not save. Try again, making sure you tap or click the confirmation button after typing the new name.

If you changed your username on the RobTop website but the game still shows your old name, log out of Geometry Dash completely and log back in. The game caches your username in memory, so a full logout and login forces it to pull the new name from the server. If the old name persists after that, wait a few hours — the RobTop servers sometimes take time to sync across all devices.

If you see an error message saying your username is already taken, choose a different name. Usernames on RobTop Games must be unique across all players. If you want a name that is very close to an existing one, try adding a number or underscore to make it distinct.

Know what usernames are not allowed

RobTop Games does not allow usernames that contain certain words or characters. Offensive language, slurs, and references to illegal activity are blocked. Usernames with only numbers, only special characters, or spaces are also rejected. Your username must contain at least one letter and be between 3 and 20 characters long.

If you try to set a username and the website rejects it without explaining why, the name likely contains a blocked word or violates the character rules. Try a different combination. If you believe your username was rejected unfairly, you can contact RobTop Games support through their website, though response times vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username more than once?

Yes, but only once every 30 days if you use a RobTop Games account. Local usernames in the game settings can be changed as often as you want with no waiting period. Plan your username change carefully if you use an online account, since you will be stuck with it for a month.

Will changing my username delete my levels or progress?

No. Your levels, coins, diamonds, and all progress stay with your account. Only the name that appears next to your levels and in comments changes. Your account ID remains the same, so the game knows it is still you.

What if I forgot my RobTop Games password?

Go to robtopgames.com and click Forgot Password on the login page. Enter the email address you used to create your account, and RobTop will send you a reset link. Click the link in your email, create a new password, and log in. Once logged in, you can change your username.

Can I use the same username on multiple devices?

If you use a RobTop Games account, yes — log in with the same account on any device and your username, levels, and progress follow you. If you use local usernames, each device has its own separate name and progress, and they do not sync.

Does changing my username affect my leaderboard rank?

No. Your rank and statistics stay the same. The leaderboard straightforward displays your new username next to your old scores and times. Other players will see your new name, but your position and achievements do not change.
