I have already set my name in Steam, but I want the game to show my name.

Open your profile,

click edit profile,

change your name

Profile Name Box

and save the changes.

Note: Everything might not look the same, as I use some addins (steamdb is displayed in first picture, lastpass in third) and your language might be different.

Answer 3

If you want to change your username in the client (Note: You can still use my other answer in client), you can check @Magmagod's answer, or do this. This also works in games too, so you can change your name during a match etc.

Open up Steam Settings, then switch to the friends tab (if you are in-game, it'll automatically start from Friends tab):

Friends tab

Change your name, and hit the "OK" button.

OK button

Note: I'm using a theme, this might not look the same on your end.
