📝 Steps to Change Steam Profile Name
- Open Steam and Log In
Make sure you’re logged into your Steam account via the Steam client or in a web browser. - Go to Your Profile / Account Page
- In the Steam client, click on your username or profile icon (typically at the top).
- Select “View Profile” (or similar) to go to your Steam profile page.
- Click “Edit Profile”
On your profile page, look for an Edit Profile button (usually located to the right side). Click it.

The new name will be reflected on your Steam profile shortly after.
