Changing your Riot ID is easy and free, but the change can only be done once every 30 days.

In case you don’t get your preferred username, then don’t worry because, in Valorant, you can easily change it with the help of a few easy and simple steps.

Here is how you can do it:

Head to the Riot Games website by using the provided link.

Next, log into your Riot Account by using your username and password.
Doing this will take you to the “Account Management” section.
Soon after you will come across the option to change your Riot ID or Valorant name.

Changing this will change all your in-game display names across Riot’s titles, including Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, and League of Legends.
Now, type your preferred name in the Riot ID section, and that will be visible to all other players in the game.
After the desired name change, move to the Tagline section for changing it.

After selecting a Riot ID or display name and the tagline, click the “Save Changes” button.

Note: Since users are allowed to change it only once a month, so be careful. After changing, you can quickly relaunch Valorant and wait for it to get updated automatically.

What Is A Riot ID?

Riot ID combines your game display name and a hashtag with 3-5 alphanumeric characters. This helps others to connect with you on Valorant or any other Riot games.

During the Valorant match, only the name will be visible, excluding the hashtag part. Generally, these hashtags help add friends among other fellow players.

Note: Riot ID is used to identify you across other Riot Games, and it doesn’t have any special characters or spaces since there is a character limit. This makes it easier for others to look for and interact with you in multiplayer games such as Valorant.

Considerations Before Updating Your Valorant Name:
