Do you ever find yourself gazing at the name of your Steam account and wishing you could alter it to something more intriguing? In fact, you can! It’s quite simple to modify the name of your Steam profile.
Changing your profile name is the way to go whether you want to offer yourself a brand-new identity or just want to adjust your login. As a result, let’s give your Steam account the makeover it needs. To learn how to do it, continue reading our guide.
Steam account name vs Steam profile name
There is something you should be aware of when altering the name of your Steam account. As you may have seen, when you establish an account with Steam, a unique number identification is automatically generated as your account name. Regrettably, these IDs cannot be changed and are permanent.
The reason why this cannot be done is confirmed on Steam’s support website, albeit the specifics are vague. But not everything is lost. The profile name that other Steam players see can still be changed. You can still adjust your identification on the site even though your account username is permanent.
