\"how<\/p>

To change your name in VALORANT<\/strong>, you change your Riot ID<\/strong> on your Riot Account page<\/strong> (account.riotgames.com). It’s free<\/strong>, but you can only do it once every 90 days<\/strong>, and the new name shows in every Riot game, not just VALORANT. Here’s how, plus the rules your new name has to follow.<\/p>\n

How do you change your VALORANT name?<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Close VALORANT.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to your Riot Account page<\/strong> and sign in.<\/li>\n
  3. Open the Riot ID<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n
  4. Type your new Game Name and tagline.<\/li>\n
  5. Click Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your new name appears in VALORANT the next time you log in.<\/p>\n

    What is a Riot ID?<\/h2>\n

    Your Riot ID is your name across every Riot game, in two parts. In “EarlGreyTeemo#sip”, the Game Name<\/strong> is “EarlGreyTeemo” and the tagline<\/strong> is “#sip”. Your Riot ID isn’t your login username, so changing it doesn’t affect how you sign in.<\/p>\n
