Your own name in an internet community like Steam can be important. If you are no longer happy with the name of your Steam account, you can customize it too. In the following article we will show you in which cases this is possible and how you can make this setting.

Can I change my name on Steam?

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered directly, because the "Steam name" means two different things: On the one hand, there is the account name with which you log in. There is also the display name, the so-called " profile name ". This is the name under which you can be seen in games or in the friends list. You must specify the account name of your Steam account when you created it. This cannot be changed afterwards. You can change the profile name as often as you like. It helps to avoid confusion that other users can also see your former profile names on your profile or in the friends list - if you want that.
