How do you change your name in The Finals? Since you get an automatically assigned name when you create your account for The Finals, wanting to change it is only natural.

In order to play The Finals, you need to make an Embark account for the game. When you do so, you will be given a random nickname. Maybe you don’t like the name LateralPanther or whatever nonsense you get randomly assigned, you don’t have to stick with the given name.

There is plenty of customisation, but before we get into that make sure you read our guides covering how to fix error codes and our tier list of the best weapons. Now, this is how you change your name in The Finals.

To change your name in The Finals, you need to do it using the developer’s official website for the game. You can’t change your name in-game, which means you need to use your phone or computer to log into your Embark account and change your display name.

Each name in The Finals will have a series of numbers after the name, but you should know that these numbers cannot be changed. To log into your account, or create one, you can do so on the website. Once on the Embark account page, choose the platform you are going to use to play The Finals: Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation. Instead of entering a chosen name, you will be given a random one by the website.

Random is as random does

With this name, you can either keep it or change it. Everything to do with your Embark account can be tweaked online, so don’t try and look for the option on your console. For those of you who are identity-concious, why not lean into the random name given and not share information?

That’s all you need to know about how to change your name in The Finals. For more, make sure to read our guides covering the best graphics settings and console commands.
