Where To Check Valorant Server Status

As a reminder, if you’re ever wondering whether Valorant’s servers are down due to an issue with the game (and not a patch deployment), your first stop when it comes to confirming the current status of the Valorant servers should be the Riot Games status page. Here, you can see messages for any known ongoing issues, and there is also a button for “Recently Closed” problems that will tell you if/when recent troubles were fixed.

The second best place to look is simply to go on Riot Games’ Valorant Twitter channel, which always relays important information such as server status.

You can also head to Downdetector. Seeing as that site doesn’t rely on Riot Games to acknowledge a problem and instead collects the reports of players, you can sometimes get a more accurate read on if a problem is just you or not.
