The best way to check if a PSN name is taken is to try creating a new account or changing your current one to that name on the PlayStation Network website or directly on your console. It will notify you if the name is unavailable.

Just head to the PlayStation website and attempt to create or change your PSN ID. If the name is already in use, it won't let you proceed.

Don't waste time searching forums or third-party apps. Stick to the official PlayStation methods for the most reliable results.

Had to change my PSN name last month. Simply went to my PS5's settings, tried the name I wanted, and it told me if it was taken. Easy peasy!
