Change Your Fall Guys Username Through Epic Games

Your Fall Guys username is tied to your Epic Games account, so you change it there rather than inside the game itself. Go to www.epicgames.com, sign in with the account linked to Fall Guys, and click your account name in the top right corner. Select Account, then General, and you will see a field labeled Display Name. Type your new username there and click Save. The change takes effect when ready in Fall Guys and across all Epic Games services.

If you do not remember your Epic Games password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page. Epic will send a reset link to the email address on file. Check your spam folder if you do not see it within a few minutes.

The new name must be between 3 and 16 characters, can include letters and numbers, and cannot contain spaces or special characters. Epic Games will tell you if your chosen name is already taken or violates their naming policy — in that case, try a different combination.

Key Takeaways

  • Fall Guys usernames are managed through Epic Games accounts, not through the game itself.
  • Visit epicgames.com, sign in, go to Account > General, and edit the Display Name field.
  • Usernames must be 3 to 16 characters and can include letters and numbers but not spaces or special characters.
  • The change appears in Fall Guys within seconds of saving it on the Epic Games website.
  • If your chosen name is taken or rejected, Epic Games will show you the reason and you can try another.

What Happens to Your Old Username

Once you change your display name, your old username becomes available for other players to use. Anyone who was following you or had you added as a friend will still see you in their friends list, but your name will update to the new one the next time they load the game.

Your rank, cosmetics, and battle pass progress stay with your account — changing your username does not reset anything. Matches you played under your old name are still recorded in your stats, but they will show under your new name when you look at your history.

Changing Your Username on Console

If you play Fall Guys on PlayStation or Xbox, you cannot change your Epic Games display name from the console itself. You must use a computer or phone to visit epicgames.com and make the change there. Once you do, it will appear in Fall Guys the next time you launch the game on your console.

Your console's own username (your PlayStation Network ID or Xbox Gamertag) is separate from your Fall Guys username and does not change. Other players see your Fall Guys display name in the game, not your console account name.

If Your Desired Username Is Taken

Epic Games does not hold usernames in reserve, so if someone else has the name you want, you cannot use it. Try adding numbers to the end, using an underscore or hyphen between words, or spelling a similar word differently. For example, if "SkyRunner" is taken, you might try "SkyRunner42" or "Sky_Runner".

You can change your username as often as you want, so if you pick a temporary name now and find your preferred one becomes available later, you can switch again. There is no cooldown period between username changes.

Troubleshooting Username Changes That Do Not Appear

If you changed your username on Epic Games but it still shows your old name in Fall Guys, try closing the game completely and launching it again. Sometimes the game needs to refresh your account information from Epic's servers.

If the old name persists after restarting, sign out of Fall Guys entirely. On PlayStation, go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other and select Remove next to your profile. On Xbox, go to Settings > Account > Remove Accounts and select your account. Then sign back in. This forces the game to pull your current information from Epic Games.

If you are still seeing the old name after these steps, wait a few hours — sometimes the change takes longer to sync across Epic's systems. If it has been more than 24 hours, contact Epic Games Support through their website and describe the issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Fall Guys username from inside the game?

No. Fall Guys does not have a username change option in its settings menu. You must go to epicgames.com, sign in to your account, and edit your display name in the Account > General section. The change will appear in Fall Guys within seconds.

Will changing my username affect my cosmetics or rank?

No. Your skins, emotes, battle pass progress, and rank all stay with your account. Only your display name changes. Anyone viewing your profile or your match history will see the new name, but everything else remains the same.

How often can I change my username?

You can change it as many times as you want with no waiting period between changes. Epic Games does not restrict how frequently you switch usernames, so you can experiment until you find one you like.

What if I forgot which email is linked to my Epic Games account?

If you can launch Fall Guys, your account is linked to Epic Games. Try signing in to epicgames.com with the email you think you used. If that does not work, use the Forgot Password link and enter each email address you might have used — Epic will tell you if an account exists for that email.

Does my console username change when I change my Fall Guys username?

No. Your PlayStation Network ID or Xbox Gamertag is separate from your Fall Guys display name. Changing one does not affect the other. Other players see your Fall Guys name in the game, not your console account name.
