SaysWho? Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 https://blog.us.playstation.com/2019/04/10/online-id-change-on-psn-your-questions-answered/ Quote The long-requested feature officially launches today. PlayStation 4: Step 1: From your PS4 go to [Settings]. Step 2: Select [Account Management] > [Account Information] > [Profile] > [Online ID]. Step 3: Enter an Online ID of your choice or choose from one of the suggestions. Step 4: Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the change. Web browser: Step 1: Sign in to your PlayStation Network account and select PSN Profile in the menu. Step 2: Select the Edit button that’s next to your Online ID. Step 3: Enter an Online ID of your choice or choose from one of the suggestions. Step 4: Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the change. Q. Can I change my online ID on my PS3 or PS Vita? No. The change can only be made through a PS4 system or web browser. Q: Do I have to pay to change my ID? How much will it cost? The first change is free, and changes after that will cost $9.99 USD / CAD. For PlayStation Plus members, it will cost $4.99 USD/ CAD for each change after the first one. Q: Will my friends be able to find me with my new online ID? When changing your online ID, you’ll have the option to display your old ID next to your new ID in your Profile for 30 days. This will make it easier for your friends to notice your ID change. You can only select this option at the time you are changing your online ID. Q: How many times can I change my ID? In general, there are no restrictions to the number of times you can change your online ID. Q: Can I revert back to my old ID? You can as long as the old ID doesn’t violate the Terms of Service. You can revert back to any of your previous IDs by contacting PlayStation Support. Q. Do I have to pay to revert back to an old ID? No, reverting back is free. Q: What happens to my old online ID? Can someone else take it? No, your old online ID is only available to you. Q: Do all games support online ID change? A large majority of the most-played PS4 games that we tested support the feature. We recommend that you check this list of tested games before you make the actual change. PS3 and PS Vita games are not supported. Q. What do you mean by a game supports the online ID change if it was ‘originally published’ on or after April 1, 2018? The game must have launched for the first time on or after April 1, 2018, to support the online ID change feature. For example, a game that first launched back in 2013 that has since been re-mastered or re-sold as a ‘complete edition’ in 2018 does not apply. Q: Will all PS4 games released in the future support the feature? All PS4 games originally published on or after April 1, 2018 have been developed to support the online ID change feature, but we do not guarantee that all games will fully support the feature. Q: I saw that there are a lot of potential issues and risks associated with changing my online ID. How do I know that I won’t run into these?We recommend that you check this list of tested games before you make the actual change. A large majority of the most-played PS4 games that we tested support the feature, and we expect major issues to occur only in a small number of games Q: What kind of issues could I potentially run into? Below are some of the issues you may encounter. We expect major issues to occur only in a small number of games. Your previous Online ID may remain visible to you and other players in some areas. You may lose progress within games, including game saved data, leaderboard data, and progress towards Trophies. Parts of your game and applications may not function properly both online and offline. You may lose access to content (including paid-for content) that you may have acquired for your games including content like add-ons and virtual currency. Q: What should I do if I encounter an issue by changing my online ID? If you experience any issues while playing a game that is not on the list of tested games, we recommend that you revert back to your previous online ID that did not have those issues. Reverting back should resolve most issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Most games have no issues, but due to how the infrastructure was originally built with the online ID, some games do have issues. Here are the ones that do, both minor and critical. Games with Issues Identified* Games which have been tested and were found to have one or more of the following known issues which we did not consider critical to the game play experience but which you should review to consider how important they are to you: Previous online ID(s) may remain visible to you and other players, or the online ID is no longer visible in some areas in a game title (in-game rankings, leaderboards, etc). For some game titles, the online ID will automatically update if you sign out and then sign back in to the game or when various gameplay activity is performed after sign-in; User accounts on PlayStation may be unlinked from game accounts. Linking accounts again may restore the original linkage; and Certain game settings may be initialized to their default state (audio setting, controller setting, etc). For some game titles, settings may be recovered if you sign out and then sign back in to the game. These games are identified on the Games List by (Issues Identified*).

SaysWho? Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Games with Critical Issues** Games which have been tested and one or more of the following known issues which we considered fundamental to the game play experience: User may lose in-game currency whether paid for or earned; Loss of game progress, including scores and progress toward trophy unlocking; and Loss of UGC or parts of the game may not function properly, both online and offline. If you have a game in this category, we do not recommend changing your online ID if you wish to continue playing that game without losing its entitlements and achievements which you have already bought or released. It is possible to incur permanent game errors or data loss as a result of using the feature.

Xbob42 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Jesus Christ, what a mess. A mess that seems to have multiple problems... and they'll still charge you ten bucks after the first one?! Shit like this should be free and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I understand, the way it was set up (I'm assuming as far back as the PS2 days, if not PS3 then) made changing online IDs very difficult; it's different from companies that had their foot in online/computers for a while and set this up better from the get-go. This is likely what they could do for now due to public pressure. I'm changing my username finally since the critical issue games wouldn't affect me.

SaysWho? Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 None of the issues were a surprise at least. They warned about this last fall: Quote 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. @Keyser_Soze Read the bold. You may want to try changing your name since you can revert no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
