How to Change Your VALORANT Name
If you want to change your VALORANT name, here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Close the VALORANT client.
- Log in to your Riot account from your browser.
- Go to the Riot ID tab on the top left-hand side of the page.
- Type in your new name in the Riot ID text box.
- Click on “Save Changes”.
You can also change your tagline, which is the hashtag and set of numbers or letters at the end of your name. It’s similar to a clan tag in League.
Does Changing Your VALORANT Name Affect Your Name in Other Riot Titles?
As of now, your Riot ID is used as your in-game name in every Riot title. This means that changing your VALORANT name will change your name in all other Riot-based games you own.
Rules for VALORANT Names You Should Know
When choosing a VALORANT name, be aware of the following rules set by Riot:
- Names that suggest hate speech, slurs, or profanity, either implicitly or explicitly.
- Names that invoke or refer to any historical, ethical, or political contexts.
- Names that contain insults, grotesque imagery, and strong vulgarity.
Does Changing Your VALORANT Name Cost Money?
Currently, changing your VALORANT name is free. However, starting from Dec. 7, 2023, Riot will allow one free Riot ID change every 90 days. Previously, players could change their Riot ID and tagline for VALORANT for free once every 30 days, but Riot has reworked the system.
In October, Riot announced a fee for changing Riot IDs but later changed its plans due to community feedback.
How to Change Your Riot Account Username
Your Riot account username is the identification used to log into the Riot client. It is a global unique username that applies to all games and regions. Once you’ve chosen a username, you cannot change it. To change your display name in VALORANT, League, or Teamfight Tactics, you’ll need to change your Riot ID following the steps mentioned earlier.
