One of the most requested features in the PlayStation Community since the launch of their online service was the ability to change PSN names. Now, that's becoming a reality this 2019.

PlayStation 4,NoobFeed,Sony,

The program will start in a preview state, with players able to change their name for the first time for free but having to pay $9.99 or $4.99 for PS Plus members for all future changes. Sony also noted that this system will only be compatible with games released after April 1st, 2018 and name changes will not be guaranteed for all PS4, PS3, and PS Vita games.

This feature is compatible with PS4 games originally published after April 1, 2018, and a large majority of the most-played PS4 games that were released before this date. However, please note not all games and applications for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita systems are guaranteed to support the online ID change, and users may occasionally encounter issues or errors in certain games. If for any reason you experience issues after changing your ID, you can revert back to your original ID for free at any time (you will only be able to revert once during the preview program). Reverting back to an old ID will resolve most issues caused by the ID change. In addition, when this feature officially launches, a list of compatible games published before April 1, 2018, will be provided on PlayStation.com for reference before you make a change.

The program is scheduled to begin November 2018.
