Rocket League Sideswipe: Alias Anxiety? How to Shed Your Boring Username Like a Boost-Starved Platypus
So, you've fired up Rocket League Sideswipe, ready to tear up the arena with unparalleled skill (and questionable sportsmanship, let's be honest). But wait... your username? It's about as exciting as a flat tire. "GenericPlayer123" doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of your opponents, does it?
Fear not, fellow rocketeer! We've all been there. But fret no more, because this guide will turn you from a nameless nobody into a legendary... well, something legendary-sounding at least.
Why Can't I Change It In-Game? (Because Epic Games Has a Plan, Probably)
Unlike some games where you can change your username on a whim, Rocket League Sideswipe keeps things a little more mysterious. Maybe they like the drama of a permanent alias? Maybe it's to prevent people from constantly switching to avoid responsibility for their in-game taunts? Who knows? What we do know is that to become a legend, you gotta change your display name through your Epic Games account.
