Google Stadia usernames can be changed at any time

Google Stadia usernames can be changed at any time, a Google spokesperson has confirmed.

Stadia’s head of Communications, Patrick Seybold, made the confirmation with PCGamesN over E3, though not much more was offered. At present, we’re unsure if a username change will cost you any real-world money. Additionally, it’s unclear if Stadia will allow for two users to essentially have the same username, as recent changes to the Xbox gamer tag system now allow.

Stadia was detailed ahead of E3; heading to 14 regions (not including Australia) at launch, the service will eventually offer two subscription tiers ranging from 1080p to 4K streaming. It’s been calculated that Stadia will use 1TB of data for every 2.5 days of 4K streaming.

We’ll keep you informed as more on Stadia’s Australian launch is known.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
