player name

Online gaming handle

A player name is the identifier someone chooses for online gaming or multiplayer platforms—distinct from a real name and often creative, absurd, or intimidating: xX_ShadowKiller_Xx, NoobSlayer2000.

Player names appear above characters in-game and in leaderboards.

Also called a gamertag, username, or handle depending on the platform.
