🎮 Is Valorant Crossplay? Everything You Need to Know (2025 Update)

Valorant, Riot Games’ ultra-competitive 5v5 tactical shooter, has taken the world by storm since its release. With intense gameplay, unique Agents, and a strong esports scene, it’s no wonder new players are asking one key question:

👉 Is Valorant crossplay between PC and console?

Let’s break down what crossplay means in Valorant, what platforms are supported, and whether you’ll be able to squad up across devices.

🔄 What Is Crossplay?

Crossplay (or cross-platform play) means players on different devices — like PC, PlayStation, or Xbox — can play together in the same matches. Many modern multiplayer games offer this to keep friends connected regardless of hardware.

🖥️ Is Valorant Crossplay on PC and Console?

❌ No — Valorant is NOT crossplay (as of 2025).

Riot Games has confirmed that Valorant on PC will remain separate from the upcoming console versions (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S). That means:

PC players can only play with other PC players.

Console players will only be matched with other console users.

🎮 Why Isn’t Valorant Crossplay?

Riot has made it clear they want to protect competitive integrity. Valorant’s tight gunplay, recoil control, and ability usage were all designed with mouse and keyboard precision in mind. Mixing that with controller aim-assist would create an unbalanced experience — especially in ranked matches.

🗣️ Riot Games says: “We believe the competitive experience should feel fair on all platforms, and that means different matchmaking environments for PC and console.”

📱 Is Valorant Cross-Progression?

✅ Yes — Cross-progression is planned.

Riot confirmed that your Riot account will sync progress across platforms. So if you unlock Agents or skins on PS5, those may carry over to PC (once fully implemented).

Cross-progression includes:

Skins

Battle Pass progression

Agent unlocks

Account levels

⚠️ Competitive rank may remain separate between platforms to maintain balance.

🕹️ Is Valorant Coming to Console?

✅ Yes — Valorant console beta launched in June 2024.

Platforms: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Full release expected later in 2025

Optimized controls and new UI for controller gameplay

There is no announcement yet about a Nintendo Switch or mobile version.

🧠 Final Thoughts

So, is Valorant crossplay? Not yet — and maybe not ever between PC and console. Riot is focused on keeping gameplay fair, balanced, and competitive across all platforms. But with cross-progression and console versions improving, the future of Valorant is still brighter than Phoenix’s ult.
