Yoshida on PSN name changes “we don’t know if we can ever do it”

4.4
Sony is looking into one of PSN users’ most-requested features, but it may never happen.


Sony has yet to deliver a top-requested feature to PlayStation Network users everywhere; the ability to change account names. According to Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida, as of right now, the company doesn’t know if it can be done.

Here he is answering this fan question.

Microsoft offers users the ability to change their Gamertags any number of times, with the first time being free.x

2.99 is a bargin compared to xbox

-it- This would be sick for the PS4 users only. They can charge 2.99 to change the name like Xbox does. I think Sony could do it but they don't want to do it.


2.99 ? on xbox 360 it still costs like $10 to change your name !!!

Don't see how it's so hard to allow someone to change there name.

Guess I'm glad I play xbox.

Strange how Microsoft can do it, yet Sony can not.

I can see why he would say it couldnt be done since it they would have to do it for ps3 and ps4. They probably have geared away from ps3 which would make something simple like this more difficult.

Blends This makes no sense, what holds them back form adding it in the game?


I don't know, I feel like if they wanted to do it they could. It has been a feature on Xbox Live for years and years now.
