Want a fresh start on Steam? Maybe your current username is a relic of your middle school days, or perhaps you're just craving a change. Luckily, altering your display name (the one your friends see) is simple! You *cannot* change your actual Steam account name (the one you log in with).
Here's how to customize what everyone sees:
1. **Launch Steam:** Fire up the Steam client on your computer.
2. **Profile Power:** Click your current profile name in the top menu, then select "View my profile."
3. **Edit Mode:** Hit the "Edit Profile" button, typically found on the right side of the screen.
4. **Name Game:** Find the "Profile Name" field. This is where you'll enter your new and improved moniker.
5. **Save the Day:** Scroll to the bottom and click the "Save" button.
Voila! Your new Steam display name is now live. Remember, you can change it as often as you like, so feel free to experiment and find the perfect fit!
