Since each Valorant account is regionally locked, many players wonder how they can change region. Whether it is to explore other regions or to play with your friends, understanding how to shift the region of your account in Valorant can open up a world of possibilities. That is why in this guide weâll delve into the mechanics of how you can change your region and play on different servers around the world.
There are only two ways through which you can change the server region of your Valorant account:
Whenever you create a Riot ID, your account is assigned one of the six regions depending on which is the closest one to where you live. Once the server is assigned youâll only be able to play with and against other players in that region. However, if you really want to shift your server region, you can only do so through the two methods mentioned earlier. So let’s explore how to change your region using these methods.Â
When it comes to changing your region your best option is to create a new ID altogether in the specific region you want to play. Here’s what you would have to do:
As you are in the process of creating your account, make sure to set the VPN to a country that comes under the region you want to play. That said, once the account is created you donât have to worry about keeping your VPN active and you can play in your desired region without any problem, albeit with higher ping.
The other way to change your accountâs region is to contact Valorant support and request them to shift your region. This is the only official way you can change your region and it is designed for individuals who shift to another country. Follow this step-by-step guide:
As mentioned before, this method is for individuals who shift to another country and want to match their physical location with their in-game region. Even if you use a VPN for this method you wonât be able to change your region. Once you make the change, youâll lose your current ranked season data because the ranked ladder is different for each region
If you still have any problem with changing your region with this method, just scroll down on the region change support page and submit a ticket to Valorant.
While we have mentioned two ways through which you can change the region of your Valorant account, creating a new Valorant ID is your best bet at playing in another region unless youâve migrated to another country.
