Sony let users change PSN ID after 12 years
You can keep your old username on display for 30 days to let your PS buddies find you.
(Web Desk) – Sony announced the long-awaiting news for PlayStation 4 (PS4) users to finally edit their PSN IDs on the console or via web.
PSN’s director of social media Sid Shuman talked about in a blog post that it will be free for the first time but subsequent changes cost USD $10 for gamers with USD $5 for PS plus members.

According to CNET, the company noted that games published on or after April 1, 2018 were created to support the new feature. PSN included a list of tested games -- those with no issues, some issues and those with critical issues.
"Do keep in mind that the large majority of most actively played PS4 games support the feature," Shuman said in the blog.
The feature has been something fans have been clamoring for more than a decade. Any time Sony announces a PlayStation event, or teases a patch to PSN, requests for name changes always top the online comments.
In October, Sony announced it was starting to test the feature.
