Anyone who has bought the new F1 23 and has already played one or two rounds against friends or players from all over the world online may ask themselves how can the name be changed? Is there a setting in F1 23 to change the visible player name and if so where is it on the pc or console version?
Customize player names in F1 23
As in the predecessors, there is no option in F1 23 to set a “player name” in the game that is displayed to the other players. Instead, it simply uses the EA name, Steam name, PSN name, or Xbox Live name set on PC or console. This also means that if you want to change the visible player name in F1 23 multiplayer, you can only do this by changing the name on the respective platform. In Steam and in the EA client you can change the name relatively easily, as follows.
Steam:
- Open the Steam client, click on the name in the upper right corner and “View my profile”.
- You can now change and save the profile name using the “Edit profile” button.
EA Client:
- Open EA Client, click on the profile picture in the top right corner and then click on “Edit Profile”.
- You can now assign a new player name under “Change nickname”, which will then also be displayed in F1 23.
If you play F1 23 on PS5 or PS4 and want to change the name to F1 23, you need to change the PSN name. The first name change is free, but subsequent name changes will incur charges on PlayStation Network. If you have an active PS Plus subscription, you will receive a 50 percent discount. The situation is similar on Xbox One and Xbox Series in Xbox Live.
Tip: You can create your own league in F1 23 and play with friends.
