PS4 Name Change Rumors Circulate, But There's a Catch
Though the latest update did feature many phenomenal upgrades including UI enhancements, supersampling, and more - many weren't happy that something seemingly simple remains to be absent from upcoming patches. Since the latest huge update is still in beta phase, it's not too late to make some much needed adjustments and that's what they are looking at doing with a rumored survey making its rounds from Sony. That being said, we can't help but to be a little weary of the leak, and you'll see why in a second.
Push Square first reported the Sony survey that is being sent out at random. According to the anonymous tip, the survey below is being pushed to gauge interest in a potential name change feature being added. The survey can be seen in the screenshot below and it reads:
"PlayStation have been exploring the possibility of adding a feature to PSN that lets users change their ID. Before any of this though, they want to understand if gamers are interested in this feature or not.
Please remember the topic and contents of this survey are for your eyes only and not to be shared with anyone else. We can't be sure whether this feature will be added or not, but we can be sure your opinions will be heard."
We can't help but to notice though a few glaring red flags about this "survey." First off, the perspective change between "we" and "they." Sony is a top-tier company and though grammatical mistakes do happen, the entire survey seems incredibly amateur and ridden with verbiage missteps. Another thing we couldn't help but to eye critically is the "we can't be sure whether this feature will be added or not" line. Yes, you can. Users have not been shy about begging for this feature for years now and it's very doable with all of the recent overhauls happening. Even, for argument sake, if that were true that Sony "wasn't sure," they wouldn't put that in the opening intro of a vital market outreach attempt.

CraigPotionTomPotion Hopefully it releases soon. My username is horrendous.
I've had mine since I first got my ps3. Hopefully this will release soon or we can get more information on this. TBH I don't see why this isn't already a thing though
Sony has proved to be incompetent when it comes to community features. It took them until the launch of the PS4 to add a party chat system.
Christ, they really make life a lot harder than it needs to be eh.
Apparently they've been banning people talking about swapping already.

DevilTomMikey Dont know why this wasn't added ages ago, to be honest.
Because Sony doesnt seem to take community feedback often and try implemented it into their game.
Imo they listen, just far to late they do something about it.
They rarely listen if at all.. If they listened to the community they would have added this feature way back when PS3 was big.

Devil I personally think they've made this addition far to late compared to other competitors like Xbox. Forcing people to have a permanent name was annoying. Glad they got it though!
Exactly. I have no clue what they were thinking.. I feel like alot more players would have played Playstation for that addition by itself..

Why would anyone not be interested in this? This is why most people play Xbox over PSN! We are tired of the 12-year-old usernames!
