How to change your username in Valorant
Want to change yourValorantusername? Here’s exactly how you can do just that in the beloved FPS title from Riot Games.
When you first launch Valorant after you’ve made your account, you’ll be asked to select a display name.
Any display name will be available, and you’ll be assigned a random tagline with yours unless it’s original. If you have an original username, you’ll be given the region as your tagline e.g. Dexerto#NA1
If you don’t get the name you want initially, however, you can change your Valorant username to whatever you desire — as long as you follow a couple of simple steps.
If you don’t like the name that you chose when you first started playing the game, or have had a change of heart, you canchange your Valorant name for freeby following these easy steps:

If you try to change your name again before the 30-day window ends, you’ll be met with a message that notifies you about the restriction.
