Notes
Rename Tokens
In Black Ops 6, changing the display name requires the use of Rename Tokens. Each player is limited to two rename tokens per year, which means you can only change your display name once every six months. Therefore, please consider carefully when choosing a new name to ensure that it is a name you are willing to use in the long term.
Name Filter
Activision has a strict filtering system for display names to prevent inappropriate content and spam. If you receive a “name not accepted” error, please check whether your new name contains any words that may trigger the system filter. If your name meets the requirements but it still does not work, you can contact game support for help.
