How to Change Your Display Name Shown to Others in Spellbreak Game

Key takeaways:

  • Your display name in Spellbreak is what other players see when they encounter you in-game
  • Display names are linked to the platform you’re playing on, not your Spellbreak account
  • Changing your display name varies depending on the platform (Steam, Xbox, etc.)
  • Your Spellbreak account ID is separate from your display name and cannot be changed

Spellbreak is an exciting battle royale game that puts a magical twist on the genre. With full crossplay support, you can team up with friends across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. However, figuring out how to change your display name – the name others see when they encounter you in matches – can be a bit tricky. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process for each platform.

Understanding Display Names vs. Account Names

It’s important to note that your display name is different from your Spellbreak account name. When you first create your account, your display name will default to your username on the platform you signed up with. However, this can be changed without affecting your actual account name.

Keep in mind that display names are tied to the specific platform you’re playing on. So if you want to change what others see, you’ll need to update it on each platform separately.

Changing Your Display Name on Steam

If you’re playing Spellbreak through Steam, your display name will be your current Steam profile name. Luckily, Steam allows for unlimited name changes. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open the Steam client and click on your username in the top right corner
  2. Select “View Profile” from the dropdown menu
  3. Click the “Edit Profile” button on the right side of the page
  4. Enter your new profile name and hit “Save”

Your Spellbreak display name will now reflect your updated Steam name.

Changing Your Display Name on Xbox

On Xbox, your display name is tied to your Xbox Gamertag. To change it:

  1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide
  2. Go to “Profile & system” and select your profile
  3. Choose “My profile” then “Customize profile”
  4. Select your current Gamertag then “Change Gamertag”
  5. Enter your new Gamertag (you may need to add numbers after the “#” symbol if it’s taken)
  6. Click “Claim it” when you’re happy with your new name

Your Spellbreak display name on Xbox will automatically update.

Changing Your Display Name on PlayStation

Changing your display name on PlayStation is a bit more involved. Here are the steps:

  1. Go to your PS4 “Settings” and select “Account Management”
  2. Choose “Account Information” > “Profile” > “Online ID”
  3. Enter your new Online ID and follow the on-screen prompts
  4. You may need to pay a fee to change your ID if it’s not your first time

Once your Online ID is updated, your Spellbreak display name will change to match.

Changing Your Display Name on Nintendo Switch

To change your display name on Nintendo Switch:

  1. From the HOME Menu, select “System Settings”
  2. Scroll down and select “Users”
  3. Select the user you want to edit then “Change Nickname”
  4. Enter your new nickname and select “OK” to save

Your updated nickname will now show as your Spellbreak display name when playing on Switch.

Finding Your Spellbreak Account ID

In addition to display names, each Spellbreak player has a unique account ID. This ID stays the same regardless of what platform you play on or what your display name is set to. To find your ID:

  1. Open Spellbreak and click the three lines icon in the top right
  2. Select the “Account” option
  3. Your Spellbreak ID will be listed on this page
  4. Click the copy icon to easily share it with friends

Unfortunately, there is no way for players to change their Spellbreak account ID.

FAQ

Can I have different display names on each platform?

Yes, since display names are tied to the platform and not your Spellbreak account, you can set them individually. Your Steam display name can be different from your Xbox Gamertag, for example.

Do I need to pay to change my display name?

This depends on the platform. Steam and Xbox offer free name changes, but PlayStation may charge a fee if it’s not your first ID change. Check with each platform for their specific policy.

Is there a limit to how many times I can change my display name?

Steam and Xbox allow for unlimited name changes. However, some platforms may have a cooldown period between changes or limit how many free changes you can make. Refer to your platform for details.

Can I change my Spellbreak account name?

No, once you create your Spellbreak account, the account name cannot be changed. But you can update your display name as often as you’d like.

Will changing my display name affect my progress or inventory?

Not at all! Since your display name is purely cosmetic, changing it will not have any impact on your in-game progress, character level, or items collected.

Now that you know how to change your display name, you’re ready to jump into Spellbreak and start personalizing your mage’s identity. Whether you want a clever pun, a fierce title, or just something simple, the choice is yours. So get out there and start spell-slinging!
