PlayStation Network has the online ID as your account's username.But just like everyone else, you might not like your old ID.Here's how to change PlayStation Network online ID for free. Your old PlayStation Network online ID might not be as good as you thought when you first signed up.

You may have used your real name (which you shouldn't, for privacy), or you simply come up with a better online ID you want to use. Regardless of the reason, changing your PlayStation Network online iD isn't that hard, just like changing your PSN password.But it is limited.It's free if you haven't changed your online ID.

But if you have changed it previously, you will have to pay to change it the second time. Just like changing your Xbox gamertag (or username), PlayStation Network doesn't make it free to change your ID twice.Unlike Epic Games, which only limits you for two weeks after Epic Games username change. Thus, if this is your first time, make sure you're really determined to use this new online ID and hold it forever (if you don't want to pay to change it a second time). Your new online ID should be applied immediately for all games.Although that doesn't guarantee you won't have issues with the new PSN ID.

Check out this page to see if the games you played might be affected.
