Click the Edit icon next to your username. Your username is at the top of the page, and the Edit icon is to its right. It looks like a square with a pencil on top of it.
- You must have 1000 Robux to change your username. If you don't have enough Robux, you'll see a pop-up that says "Insufficient Funds." Click Buy if you want to buy some Robux, and then follow the on-screen instructions to pay.
- If you haven't already linked an email address to Roblox, you'll see a pop-up message telling you to do so now. Click Add Email if you see it, and then follow the on-screen instructions to add your email address.

Type your new username and confirm your password. If you have enough Robux in your account, you'll be able to enter your new username and confirm your password now.
- Other players will still be able to see your old username.
- Don't choose a name you regret. It's expensive!

Click Buy for 1,000 Robux to confirm your new username. Once you've paid for your new username with Robux, you'll be able to sign in with it. Use the same password you've been using to sign in.

No. Your join date is unchangeable and does not rely on your username.

Your account creation date and forum post count will carry over to your new username, but old forum posts will stay under your old username.

You cannot change usernames to a username that is already taken, just like creating a username for your account.

Tips from our Readers

The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.

Since username changing is expensive, ($1000 or smaller or higher) you should ask yourself; “Do I think my username isn’t appealing anymore?” or, “Do I really wanna waste my parent's money to buy me a new username?” If you answered those questions in mind, you should be able to easily decide whether or not you want to.
Some popular trends right now include using "ii", "xx" ,"x", "i" or "1" at the start of your username. Also, try to be creative and replace characters in your username. If you used the name “Berry”, think of something like iB3rryXX. One again, be creative, and have fun. Do not think too much about it, It's just a game.
What if you want your old username back? In this case, you should make two accounts. That way you can keep your username and have a backup account.
