Your Gamertag is you, yet it might be frustrating when you can't access your chosen username in a certain game. Thankfully, in Valorant, you won't need to be concerned about that.
Even though you might not receive the username you want when you initially join up for Riot Games' FPS game, you can change your nickname in Valorant to anything you like as long as you follow a few easy steps.
So, for your convenience, here's a short instruction on how to update your Valorant username in 2023.
How to set your Valorant name
Following the creation of your account, you will be prompted to choose a display name when you first start Valorant.
Any display name is possible, and unless your name is unique, a random tagline will be associated with it. If you still have the original username, your tagline will be the region, such as Dexerto#NA1.
How to change Valorant username
You may alter your Valorant name for free by following these simple steps if you don't like the name you originally picked for them or have changed your mind.
- Close down Valorant (if you have it open)
- Log into your Riot account.
- Go to the Riot ID tab.
- Click on the pen next to your Valorant name.
