Where to change your Brawlhalla username

You change your Brawlhalla username through your account settings on the official Brawlhalla website, not in the game itself. Log into your account at brawlhalla.com, go to Account Settings, and look for the Profile or Username section. The exact location depends on whether you play on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, but the website is always the central place to make the change.

If you created your Brawlhalla account through Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or Nintendo Switch Online, you may need to change your display name through that platform instead. Brawlhalla will pull your username from whichever service you linked during setup. Check which platform your account is connected to before you start.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into brawlhalla.com and navigate to Account Settings to find the username change option.
  • If your account is linked to Steam, Epic Games, or a console network, you may need to change the display name on that platform instead.
  • Brawlhalla usernames can contain letters, numbers, and underscores, and must be between 3 and 16 characters long.
  • You can change your username once every 30 days, and the change takes effect when ready in matchmaking and on your profile.

Step-by-step process for a direct Brawlhalla account

If you created your account directly on brawlhalla.com (not through Steam or a console), follow these steps. First, go to brawlhalla.com and click the login button in the top right corner. Enter your email address and password, then click Sign In.

Once you are logged in, click your profile icon or username in the top right corner and select Account Settings from the dropdown menu. Look for a Profile or Username section — this is where you can edit your display name. Type your new username into the text field, check that it meets the character requirements (3 to 16 characters, letters, numbers, and underscores only), then click Save or Confirm. The change takes effect when ready.

Changing your username if you play through Steam

Steam players do not change their Brawlhalla username through the Brawlhalla website. Instead, you change your Steam profile name, and Brawlhalla pulls that name automatically. Open Steam, click your profile name in the top right corner, and select Profile. Click Edit Profile, then change the name in the Profile Name field. Save your changes.

Return to Brawlhalla and your new name should appear within a few minutes. If it does not, try restarting the game or logging out and back in on the Brawlhalla website. Steam profile names have no character limit and can include spaces and special characters, so you have more flexibility than with a direct Brawlhalla account.

Changing your username on PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch

Console players change their display name through their console's network account, not through Brawlhalla. On PlayStation, go to Settings, select Users and Accounts, choose your profile, then select Edit Profile and change your Online ID. On Xbox, go to Settings, select Account, choose Gamertag, and enter a new one. On Nintendo Switch, go to System Settings, select Users, choose your profile, and select Profile Settings to change your nickname.

Brawlhalla will display whatever name you set on your console network. The change appears in Brawlhalla within a few minutes. Keep in mind that changing your console network name may affect other games and apps on that device, not just Brawlhalla.

Username rules and restrictions

Brawlhalla usernames on direct accounts must be between 3 and 16 characters long and can contain only letters (A–Z, a–z), numbers (0–9), and underscores (_). Spaces and special characters like hyphens, periods, or symbols are not allowed. Your username cannot be blank, and Brawlhalla reserves the right to change usernames that violate the game's code of conduct.

You can change your username once every 30 days. If you just changed it, you will need to wait 30 days from that change before you can change it again. This cooldown applies to direct Brawlhalla accounts only; if you play through Steam or a console, the cooldown depends on that platform's policies.

What happens after you change your username

Your new username appears when ready in matchmaking, on your profile, and in the game's chat and leaderboards. Other players will see your new name the next time they encounter you in a match or look up your profile. Your rank, MMR (matchmaking rating), and all your cosmetics and progress stay exactly the same — only the name changes.

If you had a previous username, it becomes available for other players to use after a short delay. Your old name does not carry over to your new one, so if someone was following your old profile, they will need to search for your new name to find you again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username more than once every 30 days?

No. Brawlhalla enforces a 30-day cooldown between username changes on direct accounts. If you play through Steam or console, check that platform's policies — they may have different rules. The cooldown prevents players from constantly switching names to avoid recognition or accountability.

What if my desired username is already taken?

Try a variation with numbers or underscores. For example, if "Warrior" is taken, try "Warrior_1" or "Warrior123". Brawlhalla does not hold inactive usernames indefinitely, so a name you want may become available later if the account that owns it is deleted or abandoned.

Do I lose my rank or progress if I change my username?

No. Your rank, MMR, wins, losses, cosmetics, and all other progress stay attached to your account. Only the name displayed to other players changes. Your account history and statistics remain the same.

Why does my new username not show up in the game?

If you changed your name on the Brawlhalla website, restart the game or log out and back in. If you changed your Steam or console name, wait a few minutes for Brawlhalla to sync with that platform. If the name still does not appear after 10 minutes, check that you saved your changes on the platform where you made them.

Can I use spaces or special characters in my username?

Direct Brawlhalla accounts allow only letters, numbers, and underscores. If you play through Steam, you can use spaces and special characters because Steam profile names have no character restrictions. Console players are limited by their console's naming rules.
