How To Change Your Profile Picture In Rocket League On Epic Games
To change your profile pic in Rocket League via Epic Games you are going to need to use some third-party software.
Unfortunately, there is no way to change it through the Epic Games client alone. This has been a feature the Rocket League community has been wanting Epic Games to implement for a while, but has yet to be added.
There are two programs you are going to need to download and install to be able to change your pfp:
Make sure to download and install BakkesMod first and AlphaConsole second.
Once you have installed BakkesMod go to the AlphaConsole Plugin page and click the “Install With BakkesMod” button in the top right. After you click the button a prompt will pop up asking if you want to open the installer, click “Open Plugininstaller.exe”.
A command prompt will then open up letting you know the plugin will be installed next time you launch Rocket League.
Launch Rocket League via Epic Games and check that BakkesMod is installed by pressing F5 on your keyboard. A window should pop up called AlphaConsole Plugin.
If it does then you have successfully installed both programs and you can now follow these steps to actually change your profile picture.
- Open File Explorer and press the search bar at the top of the window
- Type in “%appdata% and press enter
- Open the bakkesmod folder, inside that folder, is another bakkesmod folder that you need to open
- Then open the data folder followed by opening the acplugin folder
- Once inside the acplugin folder paste your desired profile picture inside
- Then right-click the picture file and rename it “EpicAvatar.png”
Now when you launch Rocket League again you should see your profile picture has been changed to whatever picture you put inside that folder.
The picture you want to be your profile picture needs to be a png file. If the picture you currently have is a jpg file you can convert it to a png using this site:
