How to Change Email on PS4

If, for whatever reason, you want change mail on the playstation 4 (ie the email address associated with your account) and you don't know how to do it, you've come to the right place. Here we will explain how it is done, quickly and easily.

What use is this? The most interesting thing about making this change is that we are going to be able to access our PlayStation account on various devices. We'll use the new email address instead of the old one so we can keep enjoying our favorite games.

The most important thing is that, despite changing the mail, the content of our profile will remain intact. All data saved on it (purchases, settings, saved games, etc.) will still be accessible. The only thing that will change is the login ID, which we must enter to access the PlayStation Network.

In the following paragraphs you will find a series of methods and procedures to make this change. It can be done on the PS4 itself, but also from a computer, a tablet or a smartphone. We can use one or more of them, depending on our own preferences:

Change the mail on the PlayStation 4 from the account itself

Playstation Network is the service used by the PS4 for online gaming. Therefore, to change the email you have to do it in the PSN account associated with it. The most common is to make this modification from the console itself. We show you two solutions: edit an email or recover a lost or forgotten email.

Edit an email

The procedure that Sony offers us to edit or change the PS4 mail is very simple and fast. These are the steps to follow:

1. First of all, let's go to the toolbar up and press the X button of the command on the icon «Settings».
2. Then you have to select the option "Account management".
3. Now we are going to "Account information".
4. In the next step, press the X button on the controller again on the Login ID field (email address) to enter the new email address that we want to use there.
5. Finally, we select "Confirmation", after which we will receive an email in our inbox with a link to confirm this change of address.

In order for the change to take place definitively, it will be necessary to log in again on each of the devices associated with our Play Station Network account.

retrieve an email

In the event that you have forgotten the email address that we used to sign up for PlayStation Network, here is how to retrieve it:

A fairly effective trick is to perform a search in the inbox of all our email accounts. It is very possible that Playstation has sent a confirmation message at the time containing the data we need.

If this message is no longer there because it has been deleted, we can always try the following: try to log in with all the emails we use or have used. It is not a very refined method, but it can get us out of trouble.

Change mail on the PlayStation 4 from a computer

You can also change PS4 mail from a computer. Just follow these steps:

1. Let's go to PlayStation official website and click on the blue button "Log in", which we will find in the upper right part of the screen.
2. We introduce our email and password. Then, click on “Login” again.
3. Then we select “My PlayStation”, option located in the upper right corner.
4. In the new screen that appears, we select "Profile".
5. At the bottom of the page we select "Privacy Settings".
6. there we choose "Security" and click on the button "Edit".
7. In the last step, we delete the old address and write the new one, validating the action with the “Save” button.

As in the previous example, for the change to be confirmed it will be necessary to restart all the devices on which we have our account.

Change mail on PlayStation 4 from mobile or tablet

Let's finally see what to do to change the PS4 ID from a mobile phone or tablet. For that and for many other things, Sony launched the PlayStation app for both Android and iOS. The procedure is very simple and can be completed in a few minutes.

1. We start the PlayStation application and click on the account icon, which is displayed at the bottom right of the screen.
2. Then we click on the three vertical dots icon, up to the right.
3. In the drop-down menu that appears below, we select the option "Privacy Settings" *
4. In the next step, click on the three horizontal lines icon, which we will see in the upper left.
5. Click on the button "Edit" and on the new page We write the new address.
6. Finally, we press the blue button "Save".

(*) It is possible that in this step the app will ask us for the password of our account to be able to continue.

So far the three methods. When all this does not work, there is no need to despair. There is still one last resort: go to the Sony user support and present our problem to them.
