How to Change Your Name in Valorant (2026 Guide)
- Quality Over Quantity: Focused metadata and high viewer retention drive 90%+ of YouTube search recommendations.
- Target Search Intent: Align titles, tags, and thumbnails with exact search queries people type into YouTube & Google.
- Automation: Use specialized AI generator tools to eliminate guesswork and stay within character budget limits.
Unlike many other competitive games, Riot Games actually lets you change your Valorant display name completely for free. Your Valorant name is tied to your global Riot ID, which consists of your name and a tagline (e.g., Name#TAG).
The Riot ID 90-Day Limit
As of late 2023, Riot Games updated their name change policy. You are now only allowed to change your Riot ID once every 90 days for free. This means whatever name you pick, you are stuck with it for three whole months — so choose wisely!
Step-by-Step Guide
- Log into your account on the official Riot Games website.
- Navigate to the Riot ID tab in Account Management.
- Type in your new desired name in the "New Riot ID" box.
- Click Save Changes.
Need a New Name?
Since you are locked in for 90 days, make sure you pick a name you actually like. Use our Valorant Name Generator to find a clean, professional, and sweat-approved name before you lock it in.
