VALORANT Console LIMITED BETA FAQ

Can I pre-download VALORANT on Console before the Limited Beta opens? 

• No, we will not be distributing keys until Limited Beta is open, and you can not download VALORANT on Console until you have a Beta key. 

I have been banned or have a previous Riot account that has received punishment, can I still participate in the Limited Beta?

• If you have a VALORANT account that’s received a permaban or your Riot account has been banned, you will not be eligible to play VALORANT on Console. 

How long will the Limited Beta last for? 

• The Limited Beta is intended to help us make sure VALORANT is ready for you on Console. The Limited Beta will help us test our server performance, as well as some other things. We’ll end it once we feel confident in where the game is at. Follow our social channels for updates as we go!

What countries will the Limited Beta be available in?

• Our first wave of the Limited Beta will be playable in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Japan. We will be rolling out to more regions throughout the Beta, so please check back here as we will update. If you are not from any of the initial regions we have listed, you can still sign up. This will ensure you’re registered if your region opens up during the Limited Beta, and will help us gather interest from all countries. 

Will I be able to play with my friends on other platforms?

• Players on console will be able to play with other players on consoles, so Xbox players will be able to play with PlayStation players. Console players will not be able to play with PC players.
  

Can I use a mouse and keyboard on console? 

• You will only be allowed to play with a controller while playing on a console. Controllers and mouse & keyboard are very different -- we want players to feel like their experience is the same no matter where they play, but need to make sure that it feels like they’re playing the same game as the people they’re playing against.
  

Do I need to buy a subscription to play VALORANT? 

• No, you do not need a subscription to play VALORANT. PlayStation®Plus or Xbox Game Pass provide benefits to subscribers but are not required to play VALORANT.

Am I able to use my Xbox Game Pass benefits on PlayStation?
