You may finally be able to change your PlayStation Network username next year. The oft-requested feature, which has become a bit of running gag in recent years thanks to certain podcast segments, has been met mostly with silence from the platform holder. But at PSX 2017 overnight, PlayStation chief Shawn Layden admitted that it’s in the works.
“The elves at the North Pole have been working on it,” he joked, adding that the feature is “more complex than you think”. However, despite the complications he shared a glimmer of hope for fans: “I hope we'll see events occur that you won't have to ask me that question next PlayStation Experience.” Seems like the plan is to roll this out next year, then – all being well.

nice i want to change mine to either
GoroMajima or some other character but first try is majima-sama
Gonna change mine since Pablo Aimar is no longer playing lol
@YummyHappyPills was going to say the same thing haha. Such a poor design.
Time to get thinking
Hope to bring and will bring are 2 different things.
Yeah, I still wouldn't get your hopes up for this to be honest.
Thank goodness. I've been stuck with my embarrassing username for so long, I thought the day would never come. Now I can finally be XXDaKillaAssassinXX
I wonder if they’ll charge for it.
Er, uh ....hypothetically, that is — In this futuristic make-believe world of fantasy where they offer it.
If they deactivate dormant accounts too, that would be nice. Some usernames are tied up.
honestly i still don't see the need for it myself but then again i actually took time and thought about it when i created my PSN ID
seems like a waste of their time they could be using to make other more important changes
As someone who thought about it long and hard when they were drunk, this news makes me happy.
The curse can finally be lifted! If someone else takes the name 'noobpants' first I'll be gutted😆
Awesome, glad to see they are working on it.
Best news, hated mine for a long time
This has been long overdue, but I'm glad to see it may finally be implemented.
Have one that I love to have.So far it's still available, surprisingly!
Fingers crossed !!!!!!
This is stupid but for a long time I was hoping to put a capital letter on the first one of my ID. A long time ago it was "Bobobiwan" then my Ps3 died. When I bought a new one, I didn't remember my password and had to recreate an acoount. So "bobobiwan". Curiously, it seems that my first ID disapeared from any Sony database, I don't know.
It's stupid but if I can manage to get my B capital back, then I'll do it.
I am happy with mine, but its good to have option to change it.
My best mates son is stuck with Usernamesteven because his dad is clueless when it comes to technology etc ! Poor kid .
Eu queria que liberaçe a troca da psn id
