One long (like, very long) requested feature is finally coming to the PS4 today. PSN ID changes! You may recall several months ago that Sony enabled it, but that was only for PlayStation preview members: now, it's live for all PS4 owners.
Anyway, it's such a big deal that Sony made an entire blog post about it, after all the preview program feedback, to guide people through it. As Sony subtly reminds us the backend is kind of a mess, so the only games guaranteed to support the ID change are ones published "after April 1, 2018." Anything before that might not work, though Sony says that "most actively played PS4 games" will.
Wild right? Side effects include "non-visible PSN ID, lost progress, bugged games, and "losing access to content."
If you want to change your ID on your console just go to your PS4's settings, account management, account information, profile, and online ID. After that it should be pretty self explanatory. You can also do it online.
Again, there's lots of provisos. Similar to other services it'll cost 10 bucks for the privilege, but PS Plus members get a discount of five dollars for subsequent alterations. Thankfully, reverting back to an old ID is free, and you still claim it even if you give it up.
