How do I change my PSN Online ID?

To change your PSN Online ID, go to playstation.com and sign in. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Edit Profile. Click on your Online ID and enter your new one. Alternatively on PS5 go to Settings → Users and Accounts → Account → Online ID and enter your new ID. Important things to know before changing:
  • Your first change is free — after that each change costs $4.99 / £3.99
  • Your old Online ID will be displayed alongside your new one for a period of time so friends can still find you
  • Most games fully support Online ID changes but some older PS3, PS4, and PS Vita games may have issues such as lost progress, in-game items, or features not working correctly
  • Check the PlayStation support page for a list of games with known issues before changing
  • Trophies, wallet balance, and purchases are not affected by an Online ID change
