Changing your display name in Black Ops 6 is pretty straightforward. Call of Duty has simplified the process this time around and it can be done from within the game. You can have various reasons to change your name. Perhaps your user ID in the game has a few typos, you want to maintain your anonymity, or you simply need a fresh start. Regardless of the reason, changing the name has never been easier in a Call of Duty game.

In this quick guide, we will take a look at the steps involved in changing your display name in Black Ops 6.


A quick guide to changing your display name in Black Ops 6

To change your display name in Black Ops 6, follow the steps mentioned below:

  • Load up Call of Duty HQ.
  • Head over to Black Ops 6.
  • Go to Settings. It is represented by a gear icon on the top right corner of your screen, next to your profile level.
  • Scroll down to Account & Network.
  • Under Online, select Activision Account.
  • Here, select Change Display Name.
  • Enter the new name in the box and select Confirm and Restart.

That's it. Once the restart is complete, your display name will be changed. Do note that this change will also be reflected in Warzone. Similarly, when you change your name in Warzone, it will be reflected in Black Ops 6. That said, please ensure that your username abides by the Call of Duty guidelines, as offensive names will not be allowed.

Furthermore, there are restrictions to the number of times you can change your in-game name. Every time you change your name, a rename token is consumed. Most players have two rename tokens to start with and earn one every six months.

This limits the number of times you can change your name in the game. Hence, if you decide to change your display name, make sure to pick it wisely as you might be stuck with it for the next six months.
