My username is incorrect! I wanted to choose a specific name without numbers and it didn’t specify if my name was already taken so when I hit confirm it automatically put numbers after my name and I would like to change it to something else because that’s not what I wanted please.?
The live chat isn’t available or the phone support. ![]()
Hi everyone,
Great news! You can now Change your Name on your own if you'd like. We'll go ahead and close this topic now since it's an older one, but if anyone has any follow up questions or comments, please feel free to reach back out in a new post.
Thank you,

Unless you are a Founder, your username will always end in #<4 digits>, like John#1234. It does not matter whether the name is unique or not, they all end in that to totally prevent collisions in the first place.
@Jock You will have to keep trying either by phone or by chat, You can't change it in the app or on the website. They tell you that in the link.

I noticed it's sort of set up like discord usernames. But the names don't bother me to much anyone can have similar names and change a letter or add a number on any platform. Always loopholes. But this way you can have the name you want which is convenient and they assign numbers to distinguish who you are.
I am trying to change my name pls help me

The link to contact us just leads to a faq area when you type your issue it gives you the directions you’ve just given which in return leads to the faq area, and when you type your issue it gives you the directions you’ve just given which in return leads to the faq area, and when you type in your issue it………do you see where I’m going with this, it’s rather frustrating
Same here! And the answer from that other user "You have to be a Founder otherwise it ends up with a number" is absolute BS! Why would I spend my time figuring a suitable name if, at the end, it's changed anyway - that's ridicules! At least let me choose those numbers myself! I WANT THEM GONE FROM MY USERNAME!!!
I can literally feel your frustation but the answer is correct.
Unless you are a founder, there is no way around the digits after your username.
When pre-orders started after the official announcement of Stadia, the absence of those digits was advertised as a part of the advantages for early-adopters.
Even if this seems to be a flaw, it is not. Most users have digits after their names and it's the gamers who are unique themselves ![]()
