We can change our online IDs on the PlayStation Network<\/strong><\/em> shortly!<\/p>\n

Sony<\/strong><\/em> announced on the PlayStation Blog<\/a><\/span> that the online ID changes will start with a test in late November in the PlayStation Preview Program (and those who previously tested PlayStation 4<\/strong><\/em> firmware can also help to test), and the program will have a proper start in early 2019.<\/p>\n

The online ID can be changed during the test as many times as the users want, and the pricing is also known: the first ID change will be free, but after that, it will cost 10 USD\/CAD\/EUR\/8 GBP. Those who have a PlayStation Plus-subscription will get a discount: they can do so for half the price (5 USD\/CAD\/EUR\/4 GBP). You’ll also get the option to show your previous ID when you change to a new one to avoid confusion on your friends’ lists, but it cannot be adjusted after the ID change.<\/p>\n

All PlayStation 4<\/strong><\/em> games launched after April 1 will support this function, and most of the most-played\/popular titles before that date will also support the ID change. (Sony will launch a complete list when the online ID program starts early next year.) Not all PlayStation 4<\/strong><\/em>\/PlayStation 3<\/strong><\/em>\/PlayStation Vita<\/strong><\/em> games will support the ID changes – thus, during the test, you can revert to your original ID for free.<\/p>\n

At least the rumour got confirmed. It’s a little costly, but the PlayStation Plus<\/strong><\/em> subscribers will at least get a discount.<\/p>\n
