Roblox has been around for quite a while now and it still manages to be one of the most popular games out there. In the last months the game’s popularity has increased exponentially and its developers have begun to make exciting new updates.Roblox has a unique feature that allows you to change your display name. Players can choose their username when creating a Roblox account. For players who wish to alter their username, 1,000 Robux will be required. 1000 Robux, which costs $12 per player, is not practical. Roblox has the solution to this problem with display names.

What is the difference between usernames and display names?

Just a few days ago, Roblox Staff announced in the official Dev Forum that the game will be getting display names pretty soon. What makes display names unique from regular usernames, one might ask? Display names will not affect your username. Display names will now be the username that other players see in the game. The usernames you create will only be used to log in to Roblox.

Display names have a number of advantages. Display names are not required to be unique, which is contrary to the username. This means that two people can share the same name. Second, you can free alter your display name. You read it right. Only problem is, you will have to wait seven days to be able to modify your display name.
