How To Change Your Steam Username

There's no reason to use the same username indefinitely unless you have a really valuable username or too many linked accounts to list. In contrast to certain services, Steam lets users change their usernames whenever they choose without incurring any fees. You are not required to continue using the terrible username you chose before entering a game on some arbitrary Tuesday. Here's how you can alter the situation.

How to modify your Steam username on the desktop application?

• Hover your cursor over your username at the top of your window in the Steam desktop client. Pick Profile from the drop-down menu.
• On your profile page, click Edit profile in the right-hand sidebar.
• Locate the Profile name form on the following page and fill it up with the new username you want to use. When done, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save.

• First, launch the Steam app and click the hamburger menu in the upper-left corner.
• Choose You & Friends and then Profile from the sidebar that appears.
• Click Edit Profile on your profile page.
• Scroll down to find the Profile name on the following page. Put your new username in place of the current name. When you're finished, don't forget to click Save at the bottom of this page.
