[PS5] username vs PSN name
TL:DR (I'll be honest I never know when I'm supposed to put that tl:dr, when I give a short version or do I still give the long version lol)
Bottom line my PlayStation network username is one thing I'm assuming, across the board. My online ID is another, that's the one that shows on all the games, yes? If I change the name that shows on all the games will I lose everything, like all my data from all my games?
Here's the long version. Okay my PlayStation network name is yah yeet. No judgement. The username that shows up on all my PlayStation games is carb_power. I have been a PlayStation player for ages, but not multiplayer. I just got into multiplayer about a year ago, so when I made that name I didn't realize as I'm playing battlefield 6 that people would be calling out CARB, of CRAP, or CRAB lol. Story behind it is I'm a type 1 diabetic, my last name has part of the word carbohydrate in it, obviously carbs break down into sugar.. the irony.. so growing up everyone called me carbs. WITH THE S. CARBS. My own little tagline for everything was carbpower. Yeah.. well here fast forward, here we are playing multiplayer games and I'm getting called carb without the s. And it's a pain in the neck to explain it to everyone. So my big question is, if I change that name will I lose everything? Lose all my saved data from all my PlayStation games ever? Or is my PlayStation network name, the yah yeet the one that would make me lose everything. I can't find a definitive answer to this question. Obviously I'm talking about PlayStation and use a PS5. I don't know if that matters but I figured I'd throw it in there because of all the cross gen stuff. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.
