How to Change Your Avatar and Your Profile Picture on Your PS5! (EASY) | SCG 2021

In today's video I'll be showing you how to change your PS5 profile picture and your avatar! On the PS5 there are two types of profile icon, profile picture and avatar. Your profile picture is visible to only you and your close friends. Because it's private, your profile picture can be any image you want. Your avatar on the other hand is visible to all other players online. Your avatar can only be one of the select icons provided by Sony. I'll be showing you how to change both icons in today's video. If you have any questions be sure to leave them in the comments section down below.

Thank you for your post x

[@omgitsdavid949]

Mine won’t change idk why it just black

[@hashtag.ethanz]

I do find it weird that you can reveal your real name you set for anyone that searches you to see but can’t have anyone that isn’t a close friend, see our profile picture we set. You’d think it’d be an addition or so

[@amardeep6947]

That’s true but if we could do that then they would lose money since some avatars you have to pay for so then people would just get it for fre

[@alimusaraza3468]

Can you get the default one?

[@Ash_770]

Idk bro

[@balls220]

How do you get a custom avatar

[@semicomprehensiveguide]

The only way I know of on PS5 is some games come with "premium" avatars you can set. That's of course IF the game comes with them. I know my Detroit Become Human Deluxe Version came with some "custom" avatars. Besides that its what comes be default on the console. You can always set a custom profile picture though the PS5 console or the PS App

[@davedavidson2904]

Mine was working for a while now it doesn't display my Real Name and the custom profile picture idk it broke

[@tocabocastories1212]

[@khloe3576]

[@eathanmcneely2658]

To the people having problems, is your birth of date set to where you’d be considered a minor? If so, you being a minor of classified as a minor may disable the option.

[@Eclipsed_soulspace]

Ummm... Short version?😅

“You can only choose from pre approved avatars because PlayStation doesn’t want offensive content online.”
Meanwhile, I’ve been called the R word, the N word and the hard F word in every chat in every game.
