Halo newbies might find it surprising to see their in-game name the first time they log in to the Halo Infinite game. You will probably get some random name that looks something like ‘Centaur 995’ or so. While some gamers find it interesting and are satisfied with the names they get, others might find it quite aggressive and might feel like changing it. Luckily, you can easily change your username in Halo Infinite.
The in-game name in your Halo Infinite account isn’t the same as your Steam name. In fact, it is the Xbox account Gamertag associated with your Microsoft account you used to log in to the game. So, changing it directly from your gaming account isn’t allowed. In that case, how would you do it? Well, in this short tutorial article, we will see everything you need to know.
