For Valorant fans, customizing your in-game name is a fantastic way to showcase your individuality, style, or skills. Your name in VALORANT serves as your Riot ID, which is also utilized across other Riot Games titles like League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra.
To change your name in VALORANT, you’ll need to update your Riot ID, the name that shows up during gameplay and on your friends’ lists. Your Riot ID consists of a customizable name and tagline.
This guide should help you change your name easily in VALORANT.
Here’s How to Change Your Name in Valorant
Changing your Riot ID is a straightforward and free process, but remember that you can only do it once every 30 days. Here’s how to proceed:
1. Begin by closing the Valorant Client
First, ensure that VALORANT is closed if it’s currently running on your computer. You can do this by clicking the X in the upper right corner of the game window or by pressing Alt + F4 on your keyboard.
2. Next log in to your Riot account
Next, log into your Riot account using any web browser you prefer, whether it’s Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Just go to this link and enter your username and password to access your account.
3. Find the Riot ID tab in the web client
After logging in, you’ll see a dashboard with various options to manage your account. Navigate to the Riot ID tab in the top left corner of the page. This will take you to a section where you can check your current Riot ID and tagline.
4. Come up with an interesting name
To change your name, just type a new name and tagline in the provided fields. Keep in mind that your name can be up to 16 characters long, while your tagline can have a maximum of 5 characters. You can use letters, numbers, spaces, and some special characters. If you want to try something different, you can click the Randomize button to generate a random name and tagline. Feel free to do this as many times as you want until you find a combination you like.
5. Save the changes
Once you’re happy with your new name and tagline, click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page. This will update your Riot ID across all Riot Games titles, including VALORANT. A confirmation message will appear, saying, “Your Riot ID has been updated successfully.” You can then close your browser and restart VALORANT , where your new name will show up both in-game and on your friends list.
