It is important to note that your Epic Games display name will be the one you see on your account’s picture and also when you play one of their game titles on your PC, Mac, Switch, or mobile. Changes to your Epic Games display name won’t alter the way your PSN and Xbox Live Gamertags display names. If you’re the first change of your Gamertag you are able to change it once time at no cost. This applies no matter if we designed it automatically for you when you first registered for Xbox (meaning it wasn’t your choice to pick the name your own) and if, in the case of new signup made your own Gamertag during signup.
