VALORANT Console Guide

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.

Shared
Between PC and Console
  • Account Level
  • Currencies (VP, Kingdom Creds, Radianite Points)
  • Recruited Agents
  • Weapon Skins
  • Battle Pass
  • Battle Pass Progression
  • Mission Progression (Dailies, Weekly, etc)

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. 

  1. Use the in-game QR code submit a ticket (Found by selecting Help or Support)
  2. Include any details you can—what you were doing when the bug happened, where in the game it happened, etc.
  3. Include your console gamertag (Xbox) or PSN ID (PlayStation)
  4. When prompted to include logs, select Yes
