Since its release in 2018, Fallout 76 has continued to evolve, offering new features, updates, and customization options to enhance the player experience. One of the frequently asked questions among players is whether they can change their in-game name or character name. Here’s everything you need to know about name changes in Fallout 76.

Changing Your Bethesda.net Username

In Fallout 76, your in-game name is linked to your Bethesda.net account username. If you wish to change it, follow these steps:

1. Log in to Bethesda.net: Visit the official Bethesda website and sign in to your account.

2. Go to Account Settings: Navigate to the account management section.

3. Find the Username Change Option: Bethesda allows username changes, but only under certain conditions. There may be restrictions on how often you can change it.

4. Confirm and Save: If the option is available, follow the prompts to enter a new username and save the changes.

Important Notes:

• Username changes are limited and may require contacting Bethesda Support.

• If your desired name is already taken, you will need to choose a different one.

• Changing your Bethesda username will update your name in all Bethesda online games, including Fallout 76.

Changing Your Character Name

Unlike your Bethesda.net username, character names in Fallout 76 cannot be changed once they are set. If you want a new character name, your only option is to create a new character. Here’s what you can do:

1. Start a New Character: This will allow you to choose a different name, but you will have to start from scratch.

2. Use Nicknames: Since players see your Bethesda.net username, you can let others know your preferred in-game name by mentioning it in voice or text chat.

   In addition to name changes, managing Fallout 76 items is crucial for optimizing gameplay. Players can acquire, trade, and store various items, including weapons, armor, and consumables. Inventory space is limited, so it’s essential to regularly scrap, sell, or stash items to ensure you have room for valuable gear. Additionally, trading with other players can help you obtain rare or high-quality items that enhance your character’s performance in the game.

While Fallout 76 does not currently allow players to change their character names, you can update your Bethesda.net username to reflect a new identity. If a character name change feature is introduced in the future, Bethesda will likely announce it through official channels. For now, players should plan their character names carefully when creating a new profile.
