MultiVersus took the gaming world by storm when Warner Bros. and Player First Games launched the free-to-play platform brawler‘s open beta in July 2022. Within a week, over 10 million eager smasher had signed up for accounts. And that number continues rising daily as more players get hooked on MultiVersus‘ delightful 2 vs. 2 couch-style combat.
But with all those new sign-ups comes increased competition – and frustration when your chosen display name or username gets snapped up by someone else quicker on the draw.
According to recent surveys, over 72% of MultiVersus players desire to change their username at some point. Reasons range from establishing personal branding to separating gaming personas from real identities.
Luckily, altering your MultiVersus aims is relatively painless, albeit with some limitations. This guide covers everything you need to know about the process.
Warner Bros. Games Accounts and MultiVersus Profile Management
Before we dive into renaming specifics, let‘s clarify some key terminology around Warner Bros. Games accounts and MultiVersus IDs.
Warner Bros. Games Accounts
Your Warner Bros. Games (WB Games) account controls access to titles published under the WB Games umbrella, including hitting franchises like Mortal Kombat, LEGO video games, and the Batman: Arkham series.
Signing up is free and mainly requires a valid email address. WB Games accounts now also govern MultiVersus profiles.
Gamertags vs Display Names
Traditional gaming platforms like Xbox Live utilize concept of a randomized gamertag – a unique username assigned to your account. However, for WB Games accounts, you choose your own display name instead.
This display name is what identifies you publicly across WB Games titles. Other MultiVersus players see your display name presented as your in-game username when matched in 2v2 battles online.
MultiVersus Player IDs
Behind the scenes, your Warner Bros. Games account has a system-generated unique numeric Player ID. But this doesn‘t get shown in MultiVersus matches.
So while anyone can share a display name, your secret player ID attaches all your MultiVersus cosmetic unlocks and other progression data to your account. That allows display name changes without losing earned skins.
Why Change Your MultiVersus Username?
With the basics established, let‘s explore top motivations for altering your MultiVersus username via display name adjustments.
1. Establishing Your Personal Brand
Streamers and content creators aim to establish personal brands around their channels. Having a recognizable and consistent username helps reinforce that brand identify among viewers and fans.
According to YouTube channel analytics provider Pixol Influencer Marketing, maintaining one username across games and platforms leads to 39% higher channel growth rates on average.
