Every username has a story behind it. Usernames are the first impression you give in multiplayer games, and they're a great chance to express yourself on Steam.
But you might not want the same name forever. Here's how to change your Steam username.
How to change your Steam username
1. Open the Steam application on your Mac or PC and hover your mouse over your username at the top of the screen — it's next to the Community tab.
2. From the drop-down menu, select Profile.
3. Find the Edit Profile button on this page and click it.
4. Change your Profile Name (the topmost option) to your new, preferred name. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save.
Your new name will now be displayed on your profile page and in any multiplayer game you play.
Note, however, that this won't change your account name — when you log into Steam, you'll still use the same username you always have.
