Get started

Create a player name

You can download, purchase, and play games without a
player name, but creating one is recommended. A player
name enables you to participate in the N-Gage community,
connect with other players, and share your gaming
achievements, recommendations, and reviews. You also
need a player name to transfer your profile details and N-
Gage points to another device.
When you start the N-Gage application and connect to the
N-Gage service for the first time, you are prompted to
create an N-Gage player name. You can connect to the
network, for example, by setting your availability by
selecting Options > Set Availability > Available to
Play.
If you already have an N-Gage player name, select I have
an account, and enter your user name and password to log
in.
To create a new player name:
1. Select Register New Account.
2. Enter your date of birth, desired player name, and
password. If the player name is already in use, N-Gage
suggests a list of available similar names.
3. To register your player name, enter your details, read
and accept the terms and conditions, and select
Register.
You can also create your player name on the N-Gage
website at www.n-gage.com.
When you have created a player name, edit your settings
and personal information in the private tab in My profile.
Data transfer charges may apply for player name creation
on your device.
