Important crossplay limits

  • Console cross-play is available between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in supported regions.
  • PC and console matchmaking remain separate; this is an intentional competitive balance restriction.
  • Shared account content does not mean a shared competitive rank. Riot lists separate rank/MMR for PC and console.

Does my progress transfer?

Account-linking required

Riot confirms shared account content and cosmetics between PC and console, but separate ranks and matchmaking ratings.

How to play with friends

  1. Confirm both teammates are using supported consoles if you want console cross-play.
  2. Use your Riot account when linking the console account.
  3. For PC-to-console combinations, choose another game because VALORANT matchmaking does not support this pairing.
