Are the Valorant servers down?
Riot Games takes to their official twitter account whenever they are in emergency maintenance on the Valorant servers to remedy instability issues. Players in a given region tend to use social media to report major issues with Valorant servers causing problems when queueing into matches. Riot Games hopes their emergency maintenance will help resolve things rather quickly. On February 11, 2022, Riot acknowledged a disruption to Valorant's servers and is currently investigating.
The Valorant maintenance time can take a few hours, especially in the case of a new Act or Episode. The developer also addresses issues in the certain regions surrounding Valorant start issues. With the Valorant becoming one of the most popular FPS games on PC, there’s no doubt that players flood the servers in large amounts, particularly when there's new content to dive into. This overload of players has proven to simply be too much stress for Valorant servers at times.
The Agent of your dreams is finally here.
