Although you can change your nickname in and out of the game, both rely on you having to tweak your nickname in Steam.
To change your name in CS:GO, start by opening Steam.
Once you’re in Steam, navigate to “Friends,” the third menu option in the upper left row.
From the menu’s dropdown options, choose “Edit Profile Name / Avatar” and a new window will open.
Under “Profile Name,” type in your new desired nickname and enjoy your new CS:GO identitiy.
If, however, you want to make a swift name change while in-game, press Shift + Tab to open up the Steam overlay and follow the same process.
