Is it risky to change your PSN name?

-

I’ve been thinking about changing my PlayStation Network (PSN) name, but I’ve heard mixed things about it. I mainly play games like Fortnite, Horizon Zero Dawn, Fallout 4, and Baldur’s Gate 3. Is there a chance that changing my PSN name could negatively affect my experience with these games?

You shouldn’t run into any issues when you change your PSN name. Most modern games handle name changes pretty well, and you should keep all your trophies and data intact.

Yeah, I agree. I changed mine a while back and everything was fine.

Changing your PSN name might affect some older PS3 games, but the risk is minimal. PlayStation itself says there could be some issues, but most players don’t face serious problems at all.

I’ve been gaming online since 2007, and I’ve changed my PSN name a couple of times without any hiccups. So yeah, it’s generally safe!
