Change your Brawlhalla username through your account settings

To change your Brawlhalla username, log into your account on the Brawlhalla website, go to Account Settings, and look for the Profile or Username section. Click Edit next to your current name, type your new username, and save the change. The new name takes effect when ready in-game and on your profile.

You can change your username as many times as you want, but Brawlhalla enforces a waiting period between changes — typically 30 days after your last username change. If you just changed it recently, you will see a countdown timer telling you when you can change it again.

Your username must be between 3 and 16 characters, contain only letters, numbers, and underscores, and cannot match another player's name. If the name you want is taken or violates Brawlhalla's code of conduct, the system will reject it and ask you to try a different one.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Brawlhalla account on the official website and navigate to Account Settings to find the username change option.
  • Brawlhalla enforces a 30-day waiting period between username changes, so you cannot change it again when ready after your last change.
  • Your new username must be 3 to 16 characters long, use only letters, numbers, and underscores, and cannot already be in use by another player.
  • The username change takes effect right away in-game and on your public profile, so your friends and other players will see the new name when ready.

Where to find the username setting in your account

Start by visiting the official Brawlhalla website and logging in with your email and password. Once you are logged in, look for your account menu — this is usually in the top right corner of the page, often marked with your current username or a profile icon.

Click on that menu and select Account Settings or Profile Settings. The exact wording depends on when your account was created, but both lead to the same place. Once you are in Account Settings, scroll down until you see a section labeled Profile, Username, or Display Name.

Next to your current username, you should see an Edit button or a pencil icon. Click that to open the text field where you can type your new name. Type carefully — you cannot undo a username change once you confirm it, though you can change it again after the 30-day waiting period.

Rules for what your new username can be

Brawlhalla usernames must follow specific rules. Your name must be between 3 and 16 characters long. You can use uppercase and lowercase letters (A–Z, a–z), numbers (0–9), and underscores (_), but no spaces, hyphens, or special characters like @, #, or &.

The name you choose cannot already belong to another player. If you try to save a name that is taken, Brawlhalla will tell you when ready and ask you to pick something else. You also cannot use a name that violates the game's code of conduct — this means no slurs, hate speech, or sexually explicit language. If your chosen name breaks these rules, the system will reject it.

Keep in mind that usernames are not case-sensitive in Brawlhalla's system. If someone already has the name "ShadowKnight", you cannot register "shadowknight" or "SHADOWKNIGHT" — they are treated as the same name.

The 30-day waiting period between changes

After you change your username, you must wait 30 days before you can change it again. This rule applies whether you changed it yourself or a moderator changed it for you. If you try to change your username before the 30 days are up, you will see a message telling you exactly how many days remain.

This waiting period exists to prevent players from constantly switching names to avoid reputation or to confuse other players. It also gives the community time to recognize you by your new name. If you are unhappy with your choice, you have to live with it for a month before you can try something different.

What happens to your profile and friends list after the change

When you change your username, your profile updates when ready. Your friends will see your new name the next time they log in or refresh their friends list. Your rank, wins, losses, and all your cosmetics stay exactly the same — changing your name does not reset your account or your progress.

Any messages or friend requests sent to your old username will not reach you. If someone tries to add you using your old name after the change, the system will not find you. Make sure to tell your regular teammates and friends about your new name so they can find you again if needed.

Your match history and leaderboard placement remain tied to your account, not your username. If you were ranked Gold before the change, you will still be Gold after it, and your old matches will still show up in your stats under your new name.

Troubleshooting if the change does not work

If you click Save and nothing happens, or you get an error message, first check that your new username follows all the rules: 3 to 16 characters, letters and numbers only, no spaces or special characters. If your name breaks any of these rules, fix it and try again.

If the name is valid but you still cannot save it, the name might already be taken. Try a slightly different version — add a number, use an underscore, or pick a different word entirely. If you are still stuck, log out completely, close your browser, and log back in. Sometimes the page needs a fresh load to register the change.

If you are certain the name is available and follows the rules, but the system still rejects it, the name may violate Brawlhalla's code of conduct even if it does not seem obvious to you. In that case, pick a different name. You can contact Brawlhalla support through their official website if you believe the rejection was a mistake, but they rarely overturn these decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username on console or mobile?

No. You must change your username through the Brawlhalla website on a computer. Log into your account there, go to Account Settings, and make the change. Once you do, it will show up on your console or mobile game the next time you log in.

What if someone took the username I want?

You will have to choose a different name. Brawlhalla does not reserve inactive usernames, so even if an account has not been played in years, the name is still taken. Try adding numbers or underscores to make a variation of the name you want.

Do I lose my rank or cosmetics when I change my username?

No. Your rank, wins, losses, cosmetics, and all progress stay with your account. Only your display name changes. Your match history and leaderboard placement remain tied to your account under your new name.

Can I change my username back to my old one?

Yes, but only after 30 days have passed since your last change. If you change to a new name and then want to go back to your old one, you will have to wait the full 30 days before you can switch back.
