So You Want to Ditch Your Dorky Save the World Name? We've All Been There, Commander.
Let's face it, Commander. We all make mistakes. Maybe you were twelve and thought "McLovinMcMuffin" was the height of comedy (it wasn't), or perhaps a rogue sibling decided your fate with "PinkSparklyUnicorn9000." Whatever the reason, you're stuck with a Save the World name that makes Ray blush. But fear not, fellow defender of humanity! There might not be a magic "Rename" button, but there are ways to (sort of) shed your embarrassing past.
Gone With the Storm: The Name Change That Isn't Quite There
Here's the truth bomb: Epic Games actually removed the ability to directly change your Save the World homebase name in a recent update. Yes, you read that right. No more McLovinMcMuffins. However, there's a silver lining! They now use your Epic Games display name throughout the game. That means if you change your Epic display name to something a little more...presidential (CommanderAwesomeSauce420, anyone?), that becomes your new Save the World persona.
Operation: Name Redemption - How to Change Your Epic Display Name
- Suit Up, Soldier! (Well, Log In): Head over to the Epic Games website and log in to your account.
- Mission Control: Account Settings: Navigate to your account settings. It's usually under a profile icon or something equally intuitive.
- Infiltrate the Display Name Bunker: Find the section for your display name. It might be called "Account," "Profile," or something along those lines.
- Operation: New Name: Here's your chance to shine! Craft a display name that strikes fear into the hearts of Husks and makes Ramirez raise an eyebrow in approval.
- Escape Before They Notice: Save the changes and voila! You've (sort of) shed your embarrassing Save the World name.
Remember: You can only change your Epic display name every two weeks. Choose wisely, Commander!
