How to Play VALORANT on Console (Open Beta and Beyond)
In order to play VALORANT on Console in the Open Beta and beyond, you must meet the following conditions:
- Live in the NA, EU, JP, or BR regions
- Have a VALORANT Account in good standing (no current bans/suspensions on VALORANT or Riot Account level)
- Own an Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation®5
If you can say "yes" to all of the above bullets, just log into your console's online marketplace, download VALORANT, and log in to get going.
Linking Your Xbox/PSN Account
As mentioned above, a Riot Account is 100% required to play VALORANT on Console.
Just be sure to use the correct Riot Account when linking to console! Since all of your content carries over between PC and Console (see below for more details), you should be able to link your primary VALORANT/Riot Account without fear.
Also remember that while content is shared between PC/Console, Ranked progression is not! Again, more details on that below.
VALORANT PC VS Console
Account Content
Your account content is shared between PC and console, including any purchases/progress you make during the Open Beta.

Rank
VALORANT players on Console cannot face off against VALORANT players on PC—you'll have a separate rank and MMR when playing on either platform.
Open Beta Progress/Purchases
VALORANT has shared inventory and progression across all platforms, which is why progress/purchases you make during the Open Beta will carry over to VALORANT's full release on console.
VALORANT Crossplay
VALORANT supports crossplay across consoles. That means Xbox players will be able to face off against PlayStation players, but not against PC players—because fair play is a cornerstone of competitive gaming.
Xbox Game Pass
If you have an Xbox Game Pass, you'll have all the same VALORANT benefits on Xbox—but not on PlayStation.
Third Party Controllers
We don't support third party controllers. If you decide to use them anyway and run into issues, you'll have to contact the manufacturer for help.
Keyboard and mouse are not supported, and attempts to use them on console (like spoofing) will result in a ban. VALORANT console is meant to be played with a controller.
I still have a question!
Contact player support and we'll try to answer your question as best we can.
Report a Bug
If something doesn't seem to be working right, reporting beta bugs will help us stick the landing on the real deal.
