How to Change Your Warzone Display Name


When first starting Warzone, many players are assigned an ID number as their Display Name.

Unfortunately, the game does not make it clear how players can change this.

It can be frustrating, especially for streamers who rely on their display name as part of their brand recognition.

Once the steps are laid bare, the process is relatively simple.

It is all about finding the right screen to begin with.
