How to Change Your Roblox Username (2026)

Yes. It does cost Robux to change your Roblox username. The fee is 1000 Robux, charged once when you click Buy on the official page.

Roblox uses that one-time charge as a brake on abuse. If anyone could swap names for free, people would squat huge piles of handles and keep them off the market. There is no official way to change a Roblox username for free.

If your balance is 0 Robux and you still want a new look in chat, skip the username. Change your display name instead. It is free, it is not unique, and you can swap it whenever you want. We unpack that in the display-name section below.

This is how to change your Roblox username on the official account screen. Follow the five steps in order. Do not skip the password check, and do not pay anywhere except the Buy button Roblox shows you.

Yes. You can change your Roblox username on mobile. In the iOS or Android app, open Settings (the gear), go to Account Info, then tap Change Username. Type the new name, enter your current password, and confirm the 1000 Robux charge.

Xbox and PlayStation change the same account name. The username is not tied to the device you hold. Menus look a little different with a controller, but you still go through Settings, Account Info, and Change Username. The fee is still 1000 Robux.

If you play on a phone at school and a console at home, one change updates both. You do not pay twice. The account is the same everywhere.

A username change costs 1000 Robux, so treat this as one shot. Get the new name right before you pay.

Open the Roblox username generator on Names for Games and roll 10 candidates. Pick one you can say out loud, spell without a second try, and drop in a party chat without cringing. If you want more game names after that, the homepage generator covers other titles too.

The most common reason a change fails is that the username is already taken. Roblox usernames are unique across the whole platform. Keep three backups. If the first one is taken, paste the next, then the next.

Names on that generator lean display-name friendly. Some already fit username rules: letters, numbers, underscores, periods, and no spaces. Use one as-is, or tweak a letter if the clean version is taken.

Before you spend 1000 Robux, read the new name the way a friend would. If they cannot spell it after one try, they will invite the old account. Short is easier than a 20-character stack of underscores.

A taken name is the boring failure, not a glitch. Roblox will not let two people share a username. That is why you generate extra options first, then walk into Settings with a short list.

You do not have to spend 1000 Robux to look different in a lobby. Change your Roblox display name instead.

A display name is free. You can change it whenever you want. It does not have to be unique, and it can include emoji and unicode stylized letters.

If you are sitting at 0 Robux and you only want a new vibe, stop. Change the display name. Do not buy a username swap for a cosmetic refresh. Friends already search you by username, but what they see in chat is often the display name.

Need ideas? Generate a display name on the Roblox page, copy one you like, and paste it into the display-name field. Save the 1000 Robux for a game pass you actually want.

Players at 0 Robux who just want a style change should stay on display names. The username can wait until you have a handle worth locking in.

After you change it, your old username stays locked to your account ID. Nobody else can register it. It is gone from the pool for good.

Friends who search for you, and people who @ you, will use the new name. Old profile links and some third-party sites may still show the old handle. That is normal. The account did not split. Only the public username string changed.

Pay for the change only on the official Roblox page. Anyone selling a cheap username change, or offering to rename you for a discount, is running a scam. Roblox does not let a third party buy a rename on your behalf. If a site asks for your password to change it cheaper, close the tab.

Your old name will not come back as a fresh signup for someone else. That is the trade. You pay 1000 Robux, and you also give up the old string forever.
