Yes, you can change your Fall Guys username, but the method depends on which platform you play on

Fall Guys lets you change your display name, but you are not changing a Fall Guys account username — you are changing the name that appears to other players. The steps differ depending on whether you play on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PC. On console, you change your platform username itself, which updates Fall Guys automatically. On PC through Epic Games, you change your Epic Games display name instead.

The change takes effect when ready in Fall Guys, though other players may see the old name briefly if they are already in a match with you. You can change your name as often as you want, with no cooldown period between changes.

Key Takeaways

  • PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch players change their console username, which automatically updates in Fall Guys.
  • PC players change their Epic Games display name through the Epic Games website or launcher, not through Fall Guys itself.
  • The new name shows up in Fall Guys right away, though players already in a match with you may see the old name until the match ends.
  • You can change your name as many times as you want with no waiting period between changes.
  • Your account level, cosmetics, and progress stay the same when you change your name.

Changing your username on PlayStation

On PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, you change your console username, and Fall Guys picks up the new name automatically. Go to Settings on your console home screen, then select Users and Accounts. Choose your profile, then Account, then Profile, and select Edit. Choose the field that says "User ID" and enter your new name. PlayStation allows usernames between 3 and 16 characters and does not allow spaces, though you can use hyphens and underscores.

The change takes effect when ready. Fall Guys will show your new name the next time you launch the game or the next time you finish a match and return to the main menu. If you are already in a match when you change your console username, other players in that match will still see your old name until the match ends.

Changing your username on Xbox

Xbox players change their gamertag through the Xbox console or the Xbox app on PC. On console, go to Settings, then Accounts, then Your info, then Customize your profile. Select Gamertag and enter your new name. On the Xbox app for Windows, open the app, select your profile icon in the top left, then choose "Customize profile," then "Edit profile," then "Gamertag."

Xbox allows gamertags between 3 and 15 characters. You can change your gamertag once every 30 days for free; additional changes within that 30-day window cost money. Fall Guys updates to show your new gamertag when ready, though players already in a match with you will see the old name until the match ends.

Changing your username on Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch players change their profile nickname through the console settings. Go to System Settings, then Users, then select your profile. Choose Profile, then Nickname, and enter your new name. Nintendo Switch allows nicknames up to 10 characters, and you can use letters, numbers, and some symbols.

The change is when ready in Fall Guys. Like other platforms, players already in a match with you will see your old nickname until that match finishes, but new matches will show the updated name.

Changing your username on PC through Epic Games

PC players do not change a Fall Guys username directly. Instead, you change your Epic Games display name, which is what shows up in Fall Guys. Go to www.epicgames.com and sign into your account. Click your account name in the top right corner, then select Account. Choose Personal, then look for the Display Name field and click Edit. Enter your new name and save the change.

Epic Games display names can be 3 to 16 characters and can include letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores, but not spaces. The change takes effect in Fall Guys when ready. If you are already in a match when you change your display name, other players will see the old name until the match ends.

What happens to your progress and cosmetics when you change your name

Your account level, battle pass progress, cosmetics, and all unlocked items stay exactly the same when you change your username. The name change only affects what other players see — your account itself does not reset or lose anything. Friends will still see you as a friend after you change your name, and your match history remains tied to your account.

If you change your name and then change it back later, you will return to the same account with all your progress intact. There is no penalty or cooldown for changing your name repeatedly, except on Xbox, where you can change your gamertag once every 30 days for free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use spaces or special characters in my Fall Guys username?

It depends on your platform. PlayStation and PC allow hyphens and underscores but not spaces. Xbox gamertags cannot include spaces. Nintendo Switch nicknames allow some symbols but have a 10-character limit. Check your platform's rules before you choose a name.

How long does it take for my new username to show up in Fall Guys?

The change is when ready. Your new name appears in the main menu and in new matches right away. Players already in a match with you will see your old name until that match ends, then the new name appears in the next match.

Will I lose my cosmetics or progress if I change my username?

No. Your account level, battle pass progress, cosmetics, and all unlocked items stay the same. Only the display name changes — everything else on your account remains untouched.

Can I change my username back to what it was before?

Yes, you can change your name as many times as you want. The only exception is Xbox, where you can change your gamertag once every 30 days for free. Additional changes within that window cost money.

What if someone else already has the username I want?

On PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, each player can have a unique username on that platform, so if someone else has it, you cannot use it. On Epic Games, multiple players can have the same display name, so you can use any name you want as long as it follows Epic's character rules.
