A Bungie Name is a player's identity used across Bungie's games, websites, and services, and is a part of Cross Play for Marathon.
All Bungie Names include a hash and numeric ID, and will look similar to the below example:
- "Bungie Name": PlayerName#1234
- "Display Name": PlayerName
- "Hash": #
- "Numeric ID": 1234
Creating a Bungie Name
Bungie Names are auto-created when players first log in to Destiny 2, Marathon, or Bungie.net using a player's platform account name. New players can choose their Bungie Name by changing their platform name before logging in for the first time. Numeric IDs are random and cannot be chosen.
Names are filtered through Bungie's character-filtration and offensive-term moderation system. Names that do not adhere to Bungie's policies, or any character that can't be displayed in-game or typed into the player search box via console's virtual keyboard, will be filtered to "Redacted[Random Number]."
If an auto-created name becomes empty or becomes offensive due to our filtration process, it will be changed to "Redacted[Random Number]."
Players with a platform name that is longer than 26 characters will have their Bungie Name shortened to a maximum of 26 characters. Platform account names can still be viewed in-game by viewing a player's details.
The Changing a Bungie Name section below provides information on changing a Bungie Name.
PLEASE NOTE!
As we work to continue to make sure all Bungie Names are appropriate and functional in our games, the following types of characters that people have used to cause mischief cannot be used:
- Blank characters
- Unicode characters outside game-supported languages
- Emojis, pictographs, and other miscellaneous symbols
- Punctuation, superscript, and formatting symbols outside game-supported languages
- Non-language characters except numbers
Attempts to circumvent our filters may have consequences, which are outlined in our Banned Name Policies below. For more information about our filters, please view our Text-based Language Filtering FAQ.
Changing a Bungie Name
Players have a limited number of Name Change tokens available to them that can be used on Bungie.net by following the steps below:
- Log in to Bungie.net with a platform account
- Go to Profile Settings
- Update the Bungie Name under "Identity Settings"
- Press the "Save" button
A player's platform account(s) will appear as a recommendation when attempting to change a Bungie Name. These can be chosen as long as they don't violate our policies or our Community Code of Conduct. The Numeric ID in a Bungie Name cannot be manually changed and will only update when a name is changed; then the Numeric ID will automatically update to a random set of numbers.
Banned Name Policies
Any Bungie Name that violates these policies or our Community Code of Conduct will be changed to "Redacted[Random Number]," and players may receive an in-game ban. Changes performed by Bungie may consume a player's unused name change.
Policies include, but aren't limited to:
- An auto-created name that becomes empty or becomes offensive due to our filtration process
- Mentions of Bungie, BNG, etc., or impersonation of a Bungie employee
- Personal identifying information (i.e., first and last names, email addresses, phone numbers, etc.)
- Hate speech
- Implicit or explicit sexual terms
- Website addresses
- Profanity
Bungie reserves the right to moderate and remove players from our games and websites for any reason at our own discretion.
Personal Information
Bungie takes players' personal information seriously. If a player finds that their personal information has been added to their Bungie Name and wants it removed, there are a few options that can be taken:
- Please take a look at the Changing a Bungie Name section above and follow the steps to choose a custom Bungie Name.
- Submit a Data Privacy Request, choose the "Correct My Data" option, and select "My Bungie Name..." to choose the default "Redacted" name.
Periodically, Bungie will send all players a name change voucher to change their Bungie Name.
