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.

PotionTomPotion 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.
i've heard many things about Sony delaying community features and community suggestions that NEED to be added. Surprising they are finally adding this too.

Xbox has had this since launch and its always been a popular thing... Not hating or anything love both company's but after all these years Playstation seriously want to know if gamers are interested in this. I'm pretty sure this was one of the worst things on PS3 to start off..

I think this is just ridiculous that they have not added it yet. This is common sense, who doesn't want to change their name? Why even put out a survey? Lmfao

honestly it will be good to have that as people tend to make new accounts(for no reason when you only need one account unless you got banned) because of the said name they picked when they were 10, if nintendo can get it right and microc*ck can get it right as well why cant sony

This would be a massive update for people. Glad they're finally thinking about adding this.

I remember when I had a ps3 I always had to make new accounts to get new names. I am surprised they have never added it.
