If you want to change your name in Marvel Rivals, you’ll have to spend some currency and pick one that’s not already taken.

Gamers go through IGN, username, and gamertag changes quite frequently. That's just a part of life. Perhaps someone took yours before you could log on and now it is up for grabs? If that's the case, we'll show you how to change your name in Marvel Rivals.

You never know when a game will open up a batch of names after their users have gone dormant. Or when they'll implement a new tagging system so you can have your name, just with the unique numbers at the end. Let's break it down.

How to change your in-game name for Marvel Rivals

A lot of games offer a name change free of charge. They just implement restrictions on how many times you can change your name in a certain period. Marvel Rivals does the latter, but not the former. You have to use currency to make that change.

That doesn't necessarily mean you need to pay money to change your name in Marvel Rivals. You have to use Units to make the change. So, let's go over the steps first:

  1. Open Marvel Rivals
  2. Head to the Store tab at the top
  3. Navigate to the Items section
  4. Select the Rename Card item
  5. Buy it for 500 Units
  6. Choose your new unique username

What are Units and how do you get them?

Now, you might be wondering what exactly are these Units? It is a form of currency in Marvel Rivals, but it is not considered a premium currency. That would be Lattice, which you can buy with money or earn through the Battlepass.

For Units, you can actually exchange Lattice in a 1:1 trade for Units. Or you can obtain Units by completing a variety of challenges in the game or unlocking a portion of the Battlepass with it as the rewards.

If you focus on getting those challenges, whether seasonal or daily, completed, then you should have no problem acquiring enough Units. Once you hit that 500 mark, you can change your name in Marvel Rivals. And this can be done every seven days.
