What should I do if Valorant is down for me?

Check which regional shard you are on, since Valorant incidents are almost always confined to one and the client does not always say so. Restart the Riot Client rather than just the game. Most login and queue failures are the client's session, not the match servers. Look for a queue-disabled notice on the client's home screen before assuming your connection is at fault, because Riot disables queues during a shard incident. If you are stuck in a 'game in progress' state, wait for the match to time out rather than reinstalling, since progress and rank resolve server-side.

Over the last 7 days, Valorant has answered our automated checks with 99.95% availability and a typical response time of ~212 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-09-04 17:04 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

Valorant is Riot's tactical shooter, run on regional shards with separate login, matchmaking, and store services. Outages are usually confined to one shard, so queues can fail in Europe while North America plays normally, and the in-game store and battle pass can break while matches themselves are fine.

Is Valorant down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Valorant normally right now, and it answered our last one in 147ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
