Spirit Crossing How to Change Name: In-Game Display Setup

Your character name in Spirit Crossing is linked directly to your Steam profile name, with a dedicated in-game display name setting planned by Spry Fox for an upcoming update. Adjusting your active Steam persona updates how you appear.

How Does Your Name Work in Spirit Crossing?

The primary character name in Spirit Crossing is your Steam account display name. When you log into the world and interact with non-player characters or meet companions in multiplayer, the game draws your handle directly from your active platform profile.

During test periods, some players noticed placeholder strings or automated names appearing above their avatars. In response to questions on a Steam community forum discussion, the development team confirmed that platform linking is the intended foundation while separate naming tools remain in active production:

we will have an option to set display names separately from your Steam name in a coming update. — a Spry Fox developer on the Steam community forum

If you want your avatar to display a specific handle right now, you must change your profile name directly inside your Steam account client settings. According to the official Steam store page, developer Spry Fox designed the game around social connections and cooperative wandering, meaning your identity remains visible to other players whenever you share bonfires or exchange greetings.

How Do You Change Character Details at Kasu?

Kasu is the Village stylist stationed inside the large blue-roofed spirit spa building at the top of the hill. While full text display renaming relies on your client account settings, physical character traits can be altered at any point after completing the introductory tutorial.

1. Travel to the Village and walk up the hill toward the large building with the blue roof.
2. Enter the spirit spa and speak directly to Kasu.
3. Select Customize Appearance from the dialogue options.
4. Modify your facial features, skin color, facial hair, or how to change hair style.
5. Confirm your selections to apply the updated look immediately.

Modifying your physical silhouette does not alter your profile handle or reset social progress with friends. For broader progression tips across the settlement, consulting a general guide helps locate essential Village vendors.

Which Identity Settings Can You Customize?

Identity settings are personal visual and social identifiers that you configure across the Crosslands. While your display name remains tied to your platform account, personal style branches into several distinct stations across the world.

| Customization Type | Where to Adjust It | In-Game Requirements | | Character Display Name | Steam profile settings | Active Steam account name | | Facial Features and Hair | Kasu at the Village spirit spa | Speak to Kasu in the blue-roofed building | | Garment and Hair Dye | Dye station at your Waystation | Pigment collected from flowers and purified by Maya |

According to the Spirit Crossing Wiki, applying custom color palettes to outfits requires gathering wild flora and purifying the blooms into pigments through Maya. Higher tier resources processed at an alchemy station expand your crafting options, ensuring your visual appearance matches the profile identity you present to fellow wanderers.
