Yep, right in your user setting.  Instant and painless.  Really puts the other two to shame.

I mean, Switch has its own online problems.  But even charging name changes in the first place seems kinds dumb after seeing how it is done on the Switch.

Both Sony and MS things were laughable. Back in PS3/360 era, MS charged you, PS3 couldn't so you just setup another account and changed your email.

I never understood how Sony setup their database, if people around here know databases, it's like they didn't have an ID number for the user but instead the primary key was the username in their database... which is stupid.

I guarantee that is what happened.  People make fun of friend codes, but it is probably those very codes that allow you to easily change your name on the fly on Switch.

MS is likely set up the same way, but hide everything behind the user name just so theu can charge people for changes.
