Due to a recent backend system update, some players have received a Name Change notification despite having an appropriate Riot ID. If this happened to you, check Changing Your Riot ID to see what you can do (like keeping your game name!) and can't do (like using the original server tagline, eg. NA1, EUW1, etc). And sorry for the inconvenience—some decade-old systems just won't modernize without a fight.

We're aware of an issue that's causing VALORANT crashes on GeForce RTX 5000 series video cards. GeForce Game Ready Driver 572.42 fixes this issue.

Curious about your VALORANT stats for 2024? Just go enter your Riot ID + tag at our VALORANT Flashback site for all the deets. If the site gives you an error and you recently changed your Riot ID, try using your old Riot ID!

Changing Your Region of Residence for Your Riot Account

Are you experiencing strange lag while playing VALORANT or Legends of Runeterra?

Are your available payment options in the wrong currency? 

What about not being able to queue up with your friends? 

If you experience any of these issues, you might have an incorrect Region of Residence listed on your Riot Account. Your Region of Residence is the geographical area you live in, and it decides which shards you play on, which payment options you have available to you, and who you can play with.

Thankfully, if you have the wrong region listed on your account, we're here to help! Login below to see if you're eligible for a change!
