Assuming you are on PC.

Edit your basic information

  1. Go to your EA Account and Billing Settings.
  2. Click on the About Me tab. 
  3. Click Edit next to:
    • Basic Information to update your EA ID, Display Name, Real Name, and Date of Birth. 
    • Email Address to update your email that we have on file.
    • Regional Settings to update your country of residence or language.
  4. Type in the code we send you to confirm your identity, then change away!

    @EA_Barry Me and him both play on Xbox and tried to change it on our phones on the EA website will it make a difference if we are on our phones changing our names or do we have to be on A computer to do that?
  • I was in sort of the same boat, the only way for it to change in game is by logging into a pc and logging into the game through the origin browser. This was the excuse given to me. Its a poor one at that. I play on pc but used steam since i already have it installed and do not need another launcher on top of the 4 i have. Same with my name change, as well as buying game currency. Have to login through origin launcher to have the changes take effect.

    My name recently changed in apex but not anywhere else in Xbox or even in my EA account.  It's very annoying as it's changed how I find friends and I don't like being referred to as "Matthew" when that's far from my real name or handle
