Where to find the option
To change your Roblox username, open your account settings, usually found by selecting the settings area of your account, then look for the account information section. Within that area you will find the option to update your username near your current handle. The process is available on both the website and the app, though the exact layout can vary slightly between devices. Sign in first so you can reach these controls, and make sure you remember your password, since Roblox asks you to confirm it before completing a username change. Once you locate the account information area, the rest of the steps are quick and straightforward to follow.
What it costs and why
Changing a Roblox username costs Robux, a price commonly cited as one thousand Robux, because a username is a unique, permanent style handle rather than a casual label. You will need enough Robux in your account before you start, so top up if necessary. The fee is one reason to choose carefully and get your new name right the first time. Keep in mind that your old username may become available to others after you change, so there is no guarantee you can switch back for free. Treat the change as a real decision, and pick a name you expect to keep for a long time.
Steps to complete the change
Once you are in the account information area, select the option to change your username and enter your desired new name. Roblox will check it against the rules and against every existing account, since usernames must be unique, and it will tell you if the name is unavailable. If it is taken, adjust it with a number, a different word, or a single underscore until you find one that is free. Confirm your password when prompted, review the Robux cost, and complete the change. Your new username takes effect right away, so double check the spelling before you finalize, because you will pay again to change it later.
Username versus display name changes
It is worth knowing that changing your username is different from changing your display name. The display name is the label shown above your handle, it does not need to be unique, and updating it is generally free, though Roblox limits how often you can change it within a period. If you only want a new look rather than a new login handle, updating the display name may be all you need, at no Robux cost. Reserve the paid username change for when you truly want a new permanent handle. Knowing which one to update saves you both Robux and the hassle of an unnecessary change.
Pick the right new name first
Before you spend any Robux, line up a name you are confident about. Brainstorm a few options, check that each follows the rules of three to twenty characters and at most one underscore, and confirm your top pick is available in Roblox. Our free username generator can produce a fresh batch of ideas in seconds, which is handy when your first choice is taken. Say your favorite aloud, type it on a phone, and imagine using it for a long time. Getting the name right before you start means you pay once, avoid regret, and enjoy your rebrand from the very first login.
