It was announced recently that Sony is finally taking steps towards implementing the ability for PSN members to change their username. The oft-requested feature is coming, but before the platform holder rolls out the update to everyone, a select few will be taking part in a beta test to ensure the process runs as smoothly as it can.
According to users on ResetEra, Sony is sending out invitation emails right now to select participants. If you've signed up for firmware beta tests before, it might be worth checking your inbox to see if you've been invited. If you do get to take part, you'll be able to install PS4 firmware update 6.10 and give the name changing process a bash.
The beta is set to last until the end of November, and the final date for the official launch of the feature is currently set for early 2019. Will you be taking part in this name change beta test? Let us know in the comments below if you got in.

Nice, but I wonโt be changing my name, but I am looking forward to The PlayStation Meeting Event Early 2019 and PS5 launching November 2019 ๐
Got an email from Sony about half an hour ago to say that I have been selected
Got a code so I'll take a look later
Wonder if I'll get one cos if Sony took one look at my ID they'd think "Jeez that guy could do with a new name".
I got an email as well, but quite happy with my psn name
I got a personal email from Kaz Hirai saying that my name was boss so I'm okay.
Got my email. Now I just need to find a decent name that's not already been sniped.
Have they accompanied the email with a note warning of spectacular issues that they need their fanbase to identify?
ok cool.word up son
How cool would it be for Sony to reward people who don't change their name with like a 10 percent store coupon or something. Like a thanks for being awesome reward lol
Just changed my name, there are a few warnings first about save data and games not working. They give you a link to check which games pre April are compatible and it's fairly comprehensive. Booted up a few games so far with no issues at all so all seems good
@carlos82 Can you tell us some compatible games?
@Jaz007 here's the link
Which doesn't work ๐ค
@ShogunRok If you're interested scroll down
@Cutmastavictory Sure and McDonalds should give us free burgers for waking up in the morning.

@carlos82 Awesome thanks mate
@carlos82 Wow, Iโm impressed. I didnt expect so many games, especially older ones to be one there.
@WillMerfi @Jaz007 @AdamNovice I've changed mine a few hours ago now and have had no issues whatsoever. My above post is a list they give you of games that are fully compatible and since then I've tried a couple which aren't on the list in Wipeout and Rocket League. Both have worked flawlessly and the latter has all of my items and DLC cars I previously had and displays my new name correctly.
So all good so far and if I do come across anything I'll be sure to let you know ๐
Good to see a huge list of compatible games. I guess the better question would be which games don't work. I assume it would mostly be obscure indie or shovelware games.
@carlos82 Do you know if GTA Online is compatible on ps4 with the name change?
@carlos82 Awesome mate, fingers crossed for you.
PSN Online ID Change Feature May Have Issues Including Loss Of Save Data And Paid DLC
http://www.siliconera.com/2018/10/23/psn-online-id-change-feature-may-have-issues-including-loss-of-save-data-and-paid-dlc/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
@Msusak that's one game I don't have, so I couldn't tell you I'm afraid
@Msusak Just tried it and GTA Online is OK. Cars, rank garages, everything is there... However when pressing down in a main lobby my rank changes from 422 (which is correct) to 60 then 120 and other random numbers. Pause menu and rockstar website show ok.. So unsure if its a game bug as I've not played gta online in months.
@solocapers OMG thank you so much. I would literally delete GTA it it wasn't compatible with it. If you were in a public lobby, then that should be due to a freemode event or vip work running because the list goes wonky sometimes during those events.
@Msusak that's good to know then.. I'll not lie I had the fear when my rank was jumping up and down in the main lobby.
@solocapers I was panicking about just not seeing GTAV on the list lol
when they'll send invitation ? i was in 6.00 BETA
@carlos82 Also, what about the recent, and new releases, like Soul Calibur 6, and some of the old titles, like Freddom Wars, Tekken Tag 2, Killzone, GTA 5 Online, and more?
@Heir_of_SoulEdge all releases starting from April this year are fully compatible, I've heard GTA 5 works fine and I myself have tried quite a few title's which weren't on the list and have had no problems at all.
The disclaimer that has got people worried is just that a disclaimer, I don't think there are going to be that many issues at all from my experience so far
@gmxs can i plz use yours
@carlos82. Hi can i use yours plz
Has anyone tested overwatch?
